Classics and stuff.

I'm finding conflicting info on the 'net. Some website says 19th and some say 5th?

Been for the past few years, this is one of my favourites, a really nice mix of interesting stuff to nose round - reccomended.

I'm going to it about 5.30pm for a look see, then off to Lincoln afterwards ready for Waddo on Sat morning too.

It was a good turn out this year and weather helped a lot. Guess around 400 cars there? Plus some trucks and tractors. Several Ferraris, GT40, couple of Astons and couple of TVRs to name a few.

Was good. My only annoyance was the amount of modern cars there... It filled up so quickly due to the nice weather that some really nice classics were being turned away frown

I've got to say that having walked around just about all the cars that were there, I did start to think that the term 'classic' had become a little lost...

Still, some nice cars and first time I've seen a Ford GT in the metal smile

Raises the age old question: when does a car become a classic? The shows around the country organised by Andrew Greenwood allow any cars over 15 years.

I'm pretty sure a Focus ST isn't a classic...
