Just some info. The above car show is being held tomorrow for anyone not going to Tatton Park or other event.

Last year was a good little show with A.M.s, Ferraris, Metro 6R4 etc plus the usual selection too.

Must admit I've never heard of it. I'm at the H4H's event at Sherburn Airfield tomorrow

Just read up on it. If I'd have known in more time I'd have entered the Clio. It's a bit yucky outside to give it a quick wash though

It's always a good turn out. Good collection of classics last year inc number of Ferraris and Astons.

Plus, it's 50 yards from my house so I've got no excuse!

Nice little event. Astons in strong attendance and had a close look at the 6R4. Quick pint in the Red lion, game of bowls and a tray on nosh courtesy of the Kashmiri Aroma stand in the food area. Very nice it was too smile

Yeah it was a cracking little show. Coupled with the food in the red lion, I opted for pulled pork.

It was a good turn out, seemed much bigger than last year's. I'm not sure they will be able to fit many more cars on the pitch next year.

There was a great variety which I enjoyed, with a good number of cars which appeared to be used regularly and not too many garage queens, plus they were put in a random order which added to that variety.

Sadly I didn't have time to see the rest of what was on in the village as I had a slightly more pressing issue of a newborn son to bring home from hospital!

Congrats Soxboy smile

Pulled pork did look good. As did the hog roast. In fact, with a hangover all the food smelt amazing. It was amusing leaving B in W afterwards as I ended up pulling into the line of cars leaving the green and not sure my Exige was considered classic enough for the convoy hehe

I bet the exige would have been a good addition. I spoke to one of the organisers who said they'd have loved my V6 Clio there. Both modern classics in my eyes

Nearly didn't make it to the show. We went to Sherburn for HTH first and then drove across around 12.30. Got stuck in mega traffic, dozens of VWs all going to and from Harewood, so turned around and then drove the M3 like it should so as not to be too late. Would have been rude not to get there on time, wouldn't it? smokin

Anyone else notice the grey Toyota GT4 ST185? Absolutely fantastic condition for one of these as they usually rot away underneath. And rare to see at shows too. clap
