Might be too far afield for most but the Mille Miglia is awesome.

The 50th anniversary Lamborghini tour was ace too,seeing as there isn't going to

be another anytime soon i had to see that passing seeing as that was a week before

the MM which was why i went to Italy this year,not that i need much excuse to visit Italy.

The Eifel Historic Rallye festival in Germany was excellent,my 2nd visit to that in 2013.

Would have to be the trip to Germany with PCGB to celebrate the 911's birthday, followed closely by Silverstone Classics.

Been a good year for shows, actually got to use the car !!!

Ok it's very small scale but the Supercar Saturday at Castle Combe last weekend was amazing.

Best car day ice had this year.

Le Mans 24hr - possibly has become too big and the drive is no longer as fun as it used to be....

Petrolhead Nirvana - USA Tour - Totally Awesome... Nothing else even came close!

After hearing from so many people how good their tours are, we had high expectations... Our expectations were surpassed by some margin... We will definitely do it again smile

Spa Classic was just brilliant even though the weather is usually all over the place.
Nowhere near as crowded as Le Mans, and a great viewing track and fantastic cars and paddock.
And you might get to do a few laps too.

Bristol Italian car day is a good start to the year, Easter Saturday 2014.
And Goodwood Breakfast Clubs for an amazing range of cars and it's FREE.

Caper Revival Tour 2013 with the Sporting Bears! Mixing it with Ferraris, V12 E type, various TRs and loads more. Write up is in December's Practical Classics Magazine

Great run out over 2 days, fantastic company, raised a bit of cash for charriddeee and enjoyed great hospitality from Paul Bonsall at the Fat Lamb, Kirby Stephen.

Check the Sporting Bears website for details of next years event - sadly we won't be there due to other committments but highly recommended biggrin

+1. Awesome event. Though for pure, visceral, spectacle the GC600 is its equal.

Well after 15 car shows all over the U/K, the one that ends the season is always the one at the NEC the Classic.
It never fails to impress, each year the Wife goes on a Sporting Bears ride.
We always try a new show as well, this year was the Manchester Classic.
