Surprise day out for my dad and I for father's day. 

Nice show, decent spread of stuff. I feared that it would be a bit flat cap but there were some definite gems there.

Car of the show for me:

[Skut]

I was there with my dad. There was a time when Border car shows resembled something from Craggy Island. It's more like a music festival now.

Getting in was a right shit show though,  they changed the car park field and it took 30 mins crawling through the woodland track then if we hadn't pre booked tickets the que was massive,  it's by far the worst year I've been as getting back out was no better and we left early.

Car park shite was good spotting as usual.

wind up shite.

modified arm stretcher was very well done,   

jacked up shite 

loads more moderns this year wonder why.

I did notice loads of spaces in the blocks though so wonder how many no shows there was.

There was only 8 or so bikes and hardly any tractors this year definitely looked slimmed down a bit

Took an almost identical photo for Mrs_oui_si because she loves a truck.
