mat_the_cat Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I'm a doubtful, sadly. Number of reasons, none of them huge but put together they all stack up against. I will post up here if that changes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rantingYoof Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 My dad and I are planning on wandering over. The weather looks set to be great for this sort of thing tomorrow. Very cold but blue skies and sunny. Not much wind either. I wonder if there's a chance more people than they suspect will turn up. The carpark isn't exactly gargantuan... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heidel_Kakao Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 EBC want cars on-site around 6.30-7amGood thing I wasn't chosen then, fuck getting up that early!

trigger Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Well they have accepted "Oldfords" blue Sierra LX to display, the girl who now owns/inherited it only emailed them Friday and they added her straight away. dollywobbler, Heidel_Kakao and The Moog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 This was a good show which I enjoyed a lot. My favourite was the black Mercedes Coupe. NorfolkNWeigh, flat4alfa, rantingYoof and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf892 Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I thought it was good....certainly a mix of cars and I imagine there were plenty who wanted to display so choosing must have been difficult. A good free afternoon out BorniteIdentity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rantingYoof Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 'Car park' SpotsThese are completely unedited and are almost pap-snapped...the car-park was essentially any verge of the highway that was wide enough to support a vehicle.   trigger, flat4alfa, Schaefft and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rantingYoof Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 The Show In no particular order...  One of my favourite cars of the show was this Dutch Volvo 940 estate with a Supra twin-turbo unit in it...  This was just insanely shiney. A shame the spec list was written in Comic Sans... [/snob]  This was parked next to a blue Scoobaru and was much more attractive and interesting...a beige Poplar Plus in pretty much just-made condition. Lovely.  Best Fronterror paintjob ever...  A Lexus V8 powered GMC pick-up...  The black Merc coupe was stunning...   This Vin Diesel thing seemed to have a strange engine swap, but stupidly I didn't get a photo of the actual car. You can see it in the background of the pick-up truck:  A cracking show! Helped too by marvellous weather. flat4alfa, The Moog, Mr Laurence and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidel_Kakao Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 Yeah was a good day out and a very enjoyable afternoon where I got to drive a Saab Turbo and Triumph Vitesse for the first time  Not sure how I missed that beige Fiesta though.

Heidel_Kakao Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 But did anyone... meet Roadkill?I could have stood in the queue to meet Frieburger or Dulcich but decided not to as I am rubbish at meeting famous people and would have just said something inane and embarrassed myself. I have seen Frieburger with my own eyes though so that's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 A friend of mine met them both, and got a bit of her Dyane signed by them. Doesn't sound like there was vast time for chat, unsurprisingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad D. Conelrad Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Were they wandering around looking at the cars or was it more like a book signing thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidel_Kakao Posted November 19, 2017 Author Share Posted November 19, 2017 When I saw them they were standing outside the main entrance of the EBC headquarters with a pretty long queue to meet Frieburger and a substantially shorter queue to meet Dulcich. They may have moved around later but I only spent about an hour tops there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BorniteIdentity Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Oldford's Sierra looks nothing short of amazing. What a fantastic tribute to the man; a real credit. That bornite 190 on the verge looks proper fit as well. 10/10 would own. trigger and alcyonecorporation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcyonecorporation Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 But did anyone... meet Roadkill?  I did. Had a very brief chat, here are the facts: 1. They're in the UK for two days, and it's just for this event / so Dulcich can see a bit of London on the way out2. Neither of them have been to the UK since they were kids. They were supposed to view and judge the cars but so many people turned up they just did a meet and greet at the back of the yard. 3. Freiburger did bring flip flops but after an hour outside he decided enough was enough - "I realised I wasn't in California any more."4. 100 people were expected5. 2000 showed up, including cars from Holland and France. Elana Scherr (of HRM) live screened a chat with Finnegan. 6. A diesel specialist built a OM606 converted 1968 Charger especially for the event, and it won 'best converted car'7. Jeff Lutz from Lutz Performance Engines (see leaf-blower Monza) was also there. 8. Such doges attended: two shibes and one enormous Newfoundland (owner was the bloke who built the Dodge Charger diesel) 9. Jonny Smith and his Charger were also there10. The car park in and around the industrial estate (cue scores of pissed off truckers) was a show in itself. Supernaut, rantingYoof, Heidel_Kakao and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
