Hi Topperz, Rang the number to enquire about attending the event but got a very unhelpful girl who didn't seem either bothered or know anything, so looks like I will have to give it a miss.

Hi
I was down there most of the day from 11.30 through until about 4 pm

Sadly I couldent get my car in as I found out to late about the show

I have now joined the car club who organised it so hopefully next year anyone interested can come along and show their zeds off

I did enquire about a club pitch and next year they will be more than happy to arrange a pitch for us

It's getting a bigger event each year

The club pitch would be good, but the increase in size should be watched and kept in check. There is a Big Breakfast at Malton run by Specialist Cars. It used to be brilliant, but is now too big and attracts a certain type (as Mr Farage would say "you know who I mean" :wink: ).

Ah I see, had rather assumed you had entered your zed. A great and varied display of cars though and worth the visit. Comments about getting too big are justified, our little annual farm show started off pretty small and knew most people, now with the power of the internet it has got huge, raised over £12,000 for charity last year with two fields jammed packed. Sunday August 17th if anyone interested, just outside Burton on Trent close to Alrewas and the National Memorial Arboretum.
