Yep, I'm going.

It gets bigger every year, the first 3 were at Silcoates school, starting with maybe 100 cars in 2013. This year the target figure is 1000 vehicles I believe

First time I've been to this, a really nice selection of cars of all types and a decent vibe to the whole event, the usual amount of disrespectful car touchers these things seem to attract but on the whole a nice day. Wakefield seems to have gone up a few notches since I last wandered around it too.

Was a good day.

As you say, too many people touching cars but that's what happens ion public.
My only grip was the amount of cars that seems to leave about 2:30 despite the show saying cars should remain until 4:00.

I got back to my bike at 2:30 to find it completely on its own and ended up moving it but by 3:00 it was on its own again.

Wakefield is really cleaning up its act and that will only improve when they replace the the current market hall with a new Cinema.
