Blimey, you really, REALLY know how to take a photo!! Great stuff...
I will second that. They make my own efforts look rather pathetic.

Good day out. Shame there was no Zonda's in the parade.

Can anyone tell me what these 2 cars are? I forgot to go look for them after the parade...

No, not as Ascari, they made the KZ1

Its one of these. http://www.carscoops.com/2010/11/simbol-design-k1-...

Been around a few years, does all the shows. More of a kit car than anything else.

It's really quite obvious how they cut corners making it. Tiny discs stood out like a sore thumb!

Some fantastic photos on here, my first wilton house and certainly not my last!Loved the polizei 500 Abarth in company with a great mix of modern and some classic supercars which I never thought I would see. Shame about the weather first thing as I think it put some some people off bringing their toys but all in all a great day out. Now how do I get in the supercar parade for next year? biggrin

Thanks everyone! K1 Attack was lingering somewhere in the recesses of my mind but I just couldn't put my finger on it. Interesting looking thing, kit car or not!

Fantastic as always despite the rain earlier in the day.

Congrats once more to Will, Jay, Graham & everyone involved for putting on the perfect car show. The supercars were as great as always & the rev-off came back with a bang but it was the classics I was most impressed with, especially the head to heads!

They were all good comparisons to see how much supercars have changed over the last few years & it was nice to finally see XP5, the McLaren that broke all the records (and the Jaguar XJ220's heart) many years ago.

Add to that there was a red F1 in the parade, 5 Jaguar XJ220's, 3 Ferrari F40's, 2 Ferrari 250 SWB, 3 BMW i8's, a 250 GTO & even a Porsche 959, a car I kind of asked the Earl to find for me. So cheers once again Will!

It was nice catching up with not just Will, Jay & Graham, but also Mr PopBangColour (Ian Cook), the Shmee,
Tony Hetherington (the man behind the mic for the rev-off's), the head lady of JHW Classics & also a certain Mr Garlick.

Add to all that, the most perfect pic (out of the 800+ really good pics I took) I took all day.

And before I left, I had a quick look to see the cars get packed away which almost brought a tear to my eye knowing it was over for another year.

Any conplaints? It's easy to blame Bertha for trying to ruin it but thankfully she failed! Other then that, I stupidly didn't see the rally cars in action, my camera kept taking pics without my permission & my feet hurt after all that walking, but still I ignored the pain & got on with enjoying it!

One final quote I might add. For as long as we enjoy WCS, Will, Jay & the gang will carry on doing it for a very long time & the world would be a boring place without it.

Roll on 2015!

Had a great day. Weather was fine. Arrived around 10 and no queues, sky's cleared just after we arrived. Highlight of the day was the blast home with the yellow 458 spider, 16m and the graphic covered 599 which happened to be headed almost the same place as we came from (small world) Don't know if any of the drivers are on here but was great to meet you all thumbup

Another good WCS, thought the head to head display was very good although the rally stage was slightly disappointing.
A few of my pics.

Mate, some awesome photos there. Really enjoyed flicking through them and filling in stuff I missed at the show.

Bombs away.. heres my lot, hope you like. had a few issues with camera on the day. everything came out darker than expected frown



























The supercar convoy arriving, had some camera issues so everything looks a bit moody. it was actually pretty sunny at this point.

































Then some detail shots because a lot of the cars were parked too close together to get anything to work.

















and lastly the organiser Jay


and the car of the show ??

could it have been anything else...!!



phew.. well im off to bed

Proof that it was hidden from nearly everyone. Along with a few very rare & expensive friends!

I also found out while there that the Earl has only gone & bought himself ANOTHER 300SL Gullwing! Needs a bit of work though!
