This weekend is the annual Eastbourne Magnificent Motors exhibit, which is organised by the local council.
I was going to try and write a full on review but part of me is struggling to write more then three sentences, the other part is telling me I should of noted more.
So heres acouple of photo's, I appologise in advance for the amaturish shots, really was a struggle with people walking right infront of you, or standing beside a car scratching their buttocks.

Yeah there was even a Bugatti Type 59 but unfortunatly I couldn't get a picture due to people constantly getting in the way. My own fault I guess as I should of got down their earlier.

One car I seriously don't understand and frankly I wouldnt of let it in due to crimes again motors was this Beetle.

Hi Justin,

I am the East Sussex RO & I am glad to see you thought our little group or TVR's worth a photo bounce

I see you picked out the blue wedge & with good justification. This car had only recently been imported from Monaco where it has spent its life so far & has a genuine 12000 miles on the clock which is why is looks so immaculate...the lucky so & so also owns a Tuscan 2 cloud9

We only did Saturday due to members other committments but I think we lucked out with the weather with some of us looking decidely lobsterish by the end of the day smile

We saw the Bettle whilst doing the cavalcade & that key on the back was actually rotating whilst being driven silly

Hi Bodders, well I was pleasently surprised to see your club along with the Caterham Severns. Did any of you have problems getting up onto the grass verge or pavement as I've thought about entering myself but am not keen on the ramps.

On Sunday I did pop down for abit, there were more buses, steam engines and cars including with the capri owners club.

I must admit we did all look at the pavement height & the lip on the ramp onto the grass yikes

Fortunatley most of the models have short front & rear body overhangs from the wheels & the only car that caused some concern was the Tuscan 2 convertable which has a slightly longer snout but that was ok too thumbup

I would have thought your Ginetta would be ok unless it has a longer wheel base than a TVR or lower ground clearance than a Caterham scratchchin

Talking of which did you notice they put the Police speed camera display unit on the other side of the hedge from us but of course we all driving like angelevil
