Pride of Longbridge 2020 ?

Anyone know what's going on?

For the first time in my life I own a Rover.

Does one just turn up or do you have to book or something?

Unfortunately I suspect that in the current climate of media driven hysteria the chances of it (or any other car shows over the next few months) going ahead are pretty much zero.

This show was always a bit hit and miss because allowing several hundred cars into a wet sloped grass park would be disaster so has to be cancelled if the ground is wet.

Really great show if it goes ahead.

Practical Classics just landed on my doorstep.  It says that POL is April 18th.

Concerning the "hysteria" I think that it really depends on how many people are ill.

If hospitals are getting full then it makes sense to lock everything down so that the few who become seriously unwell can be treated, but if there is capacity then I would say that looking at cars in an open field is pretty low risk.  It's not like you are going there by public transport or need to be in close proximity to other people for any length of time.

Obviously people who have medical problems have to be somewhat more careful, but they probably need the rest us to catch it and recover so that the general population is immune.

I’m already ill as I have 3 rovers.

I have five. Do I win five pounds ?

To the OP - if it goes ahead you just rock up on the day. Helps if you're in  an owners club as you can join their section.
