You won't be allowed on the common unless you have registered, nothing to stop you parking close by though...apart from other cars.

If you can, I'd get the train, much easier.

[CampDavid]

I'll be there, I'll let the train take the strain

Really good turn out of all types of cars from around the world
Not a sunny day but bad weather held off
Just a small sample of the metal stunners

RobW73 not as good as your pics ....but taken from an iphone

Dougie sorry but cut off your speedster































Loads and loads of Ferrari's and a few lambo's
It was heaving with people

Next year I intend to enter

Some very nice cars turned up. It was extremely busy. The black Aventador was awesome and was getting plenty of attention. I think the owner must of been around 25 years old!! or maybe I am getting old..

Other highlights was the F40 Michelloto, which featured on PH. 599 GTO was nice also. Such a diverse range of cars.

[Frimley111R]

Wow! How buy was that on a weekday!?!

Well, if you saw some loon, laying flat on their belly to get the pic of the Blue & Red Mini's, that was me! (Brown Salt Rock T-Shirt with a VW Camper on it!)
I was there between 6.30pm and 8pm, along with most of Hertfordshire I think!

Next stop is Old Warden for the NSRA Hot Rod Supernationals on Sunday.

Bloody charity muggers wouldn't leave me alone, I chucked some change in the bucket but I declined the stupid sticker, I went back to my car in the car park a couple of times to grab some food and got hassled every time. It's free to spectate, but the rotary club muggers liked to insinuate that you have to donate to get in.
