The weather was a bit haphazard - I popped along with my camera for a little while, but only lasted until my shoes got soggy.

Here's some of the small set of photos I took (click on any image to see a bigger version):

















There's not many more in the full set but you can see it here.

Shame about the weather, but some interesting cars. I really loved the hot-rod and the LMP1 Aston-lola.

My photos are here, please ignore the ones with the little one, she can't help getting in front of the camera.

This little pup sums the weather up without words












and some of the Petrolhead Nirvana collection

[Paul v8]

when it lashed it down a few times the gazebo's were all full of people, we had many people ducking in under ours. That balck bmw looked nice and mean , yer that viper front wing looked liked would hurt if caught someone. Alot of nice cars as always if only the weather was good this show would of been special as always over the years.

[fatboy18]

Front splitter on the Viper is attached by 4 R clips, it detaches in under a minute and is mainly put on for Shows and Track days I normally carry it in the boot

[SpudGunner]

We popped along this afternoon in the awful weather.

2 Questions from me....

1 - Why did the Aston from the Rofgo collection appear to have a rear section built out of plywood? Is that normal? (you can see the edge of the plywood on one of the pictures about)

2 - The Blue Ford Sierra 500. Why? What? Omg. Massive bull bars on the front, driver sat in the car with a chrome half steering wheel, very odd alloys one strange looking car, can post some photos up later

[fatboy18]

If you looked even closer at the LMP1 Aston there was no interior in it either, No electrics! No seat!

As for the Ford Seria, Well, it is a car show, and people do things for a bit of fun, the Seria is a 4 wheel drive so a play on that is to make the front look like the front of an off road-er The steering wheel I thought was a very well engineered bit of kit, I believe the owner puts it on the car for shows!

Did you see that 206! It was well finished but not my cup of tea at all
