Who decides what is interesting or special enough to be allowed in? Everyone has different opinions and different views. IMO, the first come first served system at the minute works well. That said, rep mobiles and really bog standard stuff (Mondeo's, 406's etc) shouldn't be allowed in regardless.

I agree about the facilities, but it is an unoffical event. With better facilities comes higher fees, £1 for the main field is fine IMO - increase this and you start to hurt attendance figures.

I'm glad you like the pics, and I hope to actually meet a few people next week.

It could be interesting to leave it up to the judgement f the drivers.

If you think your vehicle will be of interest and classed as a 'show vehicle' then go to the main field. If not t'other.

After all, attending a car event like that should mean you have some taste in vehicles!


In a perfect world Blipi....


I think my car is interesting and as such park it in the main field, but It rarely draws any attention despite the fact it is only the only one of it's kind at the event, yet there are loads of Cobra replica's, Lotus Elise's, TVR's etc etc which seem to have a greater following. I have nothing against these cars, i'm just saying at an event such as this they are 'common' whereas some of the other 'slower, heavier, uglier, less exotic' cars are quite rare beasts.

As said before, first come first served works well for me. I enjoy it for what it is, a cheap night which usually ends in a curry.
