PISTONS & PROPS SHOW
Discussion
Pistons and Props show last weekend and MEV’s Replicar was on the
invitation list.

The show ran on the 28th and 29th Sept and we were graced with excellent
weather all weekend. Hot sunshine generally ensure a relaxed and fun
atmosphere and it certainly worked at Sywell. It was a truly special
weekend, knock out. Great cars, great entertainment and that all important
ingredient, vitamin D for the whole weekend made this a special time to
remember.
F1 and drag cars, hot rods, pre and post war cars in abundance, wing
walkers amazed us in flight and there were all sorts of brilliant aviation
treats. Later after a good meal in hanger one we were all dancing to the
fantastic Swinging Blue Jeans. Many thanks to the organisers and
especially the marshalls who took good care of us all. The live event had
so much action on the around the runway it was often difficult to take it
all in. At anyone time you would witness cars screeching off the line
whilst a microlite or helicopter was landing on the grass and a Spitfire
or Bi plane was doing loop the loop. What a spectacle. In true time
honoured tradition I captured the attention of the huge crowds, but not
for the right reasons. I gave the Replicar full beans to ensure a decent
amount of rubber was left on the concrete as I leaped off the line, BUT,
well it is a kit car, the exhaust fell off!

We went yesterday as spectators and had a very good time, P&P has the makings of an excellent yearly event assuming it builds upon these promising beginnings. A repeat of this year's weather for 2014 would be nice too
