I live about 2 miles from Fleet services but this year I'm not bothering, its got a bit samey and quite honestly boring. They need to bring more things to look at and more stands selling Aston/automotive related things.

I have bought a ticket but the weather forecast on Saturday looks pretty ropey so I’m probably going to give it a miss this year. The last time I went it chucked it down with rain all day and although it didn’t spoil it completely I’m sure it would have been a very different day had the sun been shining. Typical really…we have had three heatwaves and almost non stop sunshine (in the south at least) and Saturdays forecast looks like showers and possibly thunderstorms.

Looking at the weather forecast, looks like staying home tomorrow is probably the best option.

I will make a final decision this evening.

Ditto.

Although it looks very unlikely that things will improve.

Disappointing - and tickets can’t be re-used either.

Enjoy the hosepipe ban!

Very on the fence currently. I've seen 6 blades of grass and some morning dew defeat my car.

We are planning to come but unless the weather changes - so will see how we go. Want to get into the arena so wanted to get there for 8.30. Never been before and was hoping this would be a good first time out but not in the rain

Simply Aston is a great day out, I have been very year since I bought my first Aston in 2017, but Beaulieu isn't a great place when there is heavy rain; I have done that before at Beaulieu.

I will likely miss this one and spend time with my daughter doing something else.

I've been eagle eyeing the weather, it seems to be improving.

It certainly looks better on site by late morning, although getting off the thick grass areas when leaving could prove interesting.

However, the run down from Fleet area looks like heavy dark rain, not clearing until late into the afternoon, so I’m thinking to give it a miss.

Maybe we could arrange a small gathering at Blackbushe airport one day soon? It’s a popular meet (Mustang, Porsche, etc.) with a good (if sometimes busy) cafe and possible to organise exclusive parking in the small field.

Weather at Beaulieu looks ok in the afternoon.

But I’m not going to risk the drive down there, staying home and staying dry.

I’m happy with a meet up somewhere when the weathers dryer.

So weather being what it is, and the car being closer, as we planned, we are going to make the trip. Hope to be there by 8.30 and make it into the Arena.

Safe travels everyone - anyone with a portable jet wash come see me please 🙏🏽

The rain started in my neck of the woods around 5:00am and has been steadily increasing in its intensity since then. It is almost a three hour drive from where I am at the best of times so I have decided not to attend today. For those of you brave enough to make the trip I hope you enjoy the day and fingers crossed conditions improve this afternoon as per the forecast. Hopefully your journeys home will be more pleasant. If anyone has any decent pictures of the day please post them here if you can. BRM.

I don’t think it’s first come first in the arena, it’s normally kept for more special cars, but hope you made it in.

This is what you want - ask your local dealer to gift it to you for your troubles 😉
