Who wrote the copy on that website? Should be ashamed of themselves:

"Unforgettable sites and sounds from the past!"

That is a big weekend! I'm doing the VSCC Pomeroy Trophy at Silverstone on Saturday as well. First events of the year for me after the winter of discontent.

There on the saturday!

Can't wait I have been to the last 3. I love the big auto jumble. Bough a 12g295 head + 731 cam for her indoors Mini for £40.

[chevronb37]

The rain, oh the rain. Still, a wonderful day and for the most part my wallet remained firmly in my pocket. What happened with the parking yesterday?

The show was great as always but the car park was shocking; you really needed one of these

[MrOrange]

Wasn't the best £18 I've ever spent. Best bit for me was the Motorcycle hall with Ace Cafe and the bar. Watching the rally cars was also worth 20 mins. Shame the queues to get in, crappy car-parking and actually not a lot to see in the Hall 1/2.

[dave9]

utterly useless waste of money

no signs, no layout, not many cars - hall 4 was a joke and it stank

i certainly won't be going to that horrendous show again

[olliewestwood]

I do think it was expensive for not really much in the halls and the car park was silly....but then again if it had been bright sunshine then it would have been another story!

That said, its possibly one of the few chances where ill get to see the Group B Rally cars in action together, certainly with Jimmy McRae and Miki Biasion behind the wheel!

Our full report (split into 2 parts "the Show" and "the Live Action stage") is now online at www.garageawesome.com

Some teaser pics from what we managed to get!

[petrolsniffer]

Maybe i'm easily pleased but I had a nice day! bought a few bits,watched the rally cars and had a good nose around

Hall 4 you say? Missed that one, does that mean I get £5 back?
