I love the look of this, right up my street. I was interested in cars from a very early age and knew all the models - so it is a great nostalgia trip, particularly with the range of 80s stuff, which in many cases seems to be more rare than 70s classics.

Lol! I remember testing myself in the back of the car as a kid, guessing the car by its headlights at night.

I actually still find myself now guessing cars by their headlights!

It gets harder when everything is burning your retinas off unnecessarily with 10000000watt LEDs, though...


I think I'll definitely go to this show next year - far more fun to reminisce and discover cool old stuff you didn't know about than it is to stare at carefully-marketed shiny new stuff you'll never afford!

I think this event joins the list of must see events next year.

Tickets this year were only 5.50 ,must be purchased beforehand ,no money taken at the gate.

Just coming home with my mate and he said 'what's that behind us, Granada or Cortina'.

It's a Cortina GXL I said.

'How on earth can you tell that??'

Headlights!!

Def. going to this next year.

Thanks to Hubnut et al, the old mint car has certainly gained a new cool. I would in all fairness be much more interested in car show witha mint allegro or mk3 cortina than a new bmw. My wife does not share my enthusiasm though and when I mention such thoughts , there is no way she is going shopping in an maxi.

It was just a super festival in a great location. It brought back a lot of memories because my father just had a Rover 820E.Just the perfect car.I missed the stage where all the rock artists of our time could perform or exhibitions were held..They just really fit the theme of the event and helped us choose from the place to those who will represent us at this event.In General, I think any event should be well organized.Even the races will not interfere with the scene where you can drive the winner.
