Harewood car show today

[benjj]

Mrs Benjj and the kids got us a family ticket for the car show today.

We all agreed, including my 3 yr old daughter, that it was embarrassingly st.

For every nice car there were 40 absolute rotters.

Loads of s with big nasty dogs.

Portaloos overflowing with piss with queues hundreds of meters long.

A central 'stage' that was just a bit of field with knobbers driving round and round in circles at 8mph.

Tannoy announcements courtesy of an Alan Partridge alike (the best bit).

Everything inside was extra, including all the kiddie stuff. All your £30 entry got you was access to a field full of the above.

Absolutely staggeringly awful. Avoid at all costs from here until judgement day!

We got home 125 minutes after leaving. It's a 40 minute round trip and we queued up for 20 mins to get in.

My particular favourite in the BMW section was the rusty E39 520i SE with bonnet bra and bonnet up. "Want to have a look?"

Erm, no thanks pal. Your pit bull is scaring my kids.

[benjj]

Absolutely not.

There were some lovely, lovely cars there. But they made up an absolute max of 10% of the show.

Just remembered the PT Cruiser area. Cars wrapped in tinsel with flashy lights and plasticky chrome tat everywhere. Looked like something that gypsies would hire for their 11 year old daughter's lapdancing contest.
