Not mine but a friend sent them over to me. Anyone else go?

In memory of Phil.

I see online that some people queued for five hours and didn’t get in before it closed for the day.

Sounds like a bit of a fuck up and lots of people demanding refunds!

[Gaffer]

We got there at 11 and queued for about an hour to get in and parked, left at 3pm and no sign of anyone still queueing to get in. There was a specific route to follow to get in so unless others didn’t RTFM and shot themselves in the foot?

Theres some lovingly attended to sheds there!

Encountered this dude, not sure what his deal was but he wrote his name on my basecap so there's that.

Queueing was the worst I've ever experienced, it would have easily taken 2-3h to get in. Like many we just dumped our cars and walked in for 40 minutes. Lots of interesting cars though, could post a million photos here.

Also Tom Lenthall approved of today's Jag purchase.

Had tickets to go. Got there 10:30 to the area by the W3W location, avoided Mallory like they said. Waited until about 12:45 in standstill traffic then left as didn't want to waste anymore time. Shilton was blocked solid. They just passed the congestion onto another village.

Below is the screen shot of the email I was sent with the directions on. They even gave everyone a small time window to arrive which didn't help.

I was going to walk in. It was 2.5 miles to the venue from where I was but it was along the grass verge and I didn't want to risk walking back along there with my young lad with all the traffic leaving the venue.

My mate who booked it all was navigator and looks like somehow he managed to bring us in from completely the wrong direction. Thought it odd that we and plenty others were going in through the showcar entrance! In our defence the only traffic management we encountered outside the show waved us straight in that way, was only when we were well inside and coming to parking we found any other officials.

That's YouTube arsehole Ratarossa's car. He'll turn up to the opening of an envelope if bigger YouTubers are there. He does fix Ferraris on the driveway of a semi though so he's not completely awful.

I know the guy who owns the Octavia. He's a furry, obviously 😄

[sierraman]

A 10 year old Octavia with a gopping paint job, see this is where it goes wrong at these events. They’ll just let any old shite in, it just waters the effect down, I went to one last year and someone was showing a 55 plate Zafira covered in shit stickers, it’s just tat I don’t know why they think anyone would be remotely interested in it. 

[Schaefft]

Some photos of actual sheds, mostly owned by the crew naturally. LS400 was very crusty sadly.

[Schaefft]

Both the Mk5 GTI and P6 looked like AS owne as identical spec to what we see on here?

Also Taylor's new mini is an absolute basket case, no clue how much it will cost to get it to even remotely solid shape.

All the CT/AutoAlex cars looked rougher in person than on camera naturally. Miles the Octavia might have been one of their cleanest cars there.

[Schaefft]

Jag and my mates Beat. Ur-S4 was one of the many cars dumped in the estate about 1.5 miles from the event after waiting for hours. Seemed like quite a few cars broke down waiting in the queue, I helped pushing a Boxster to the side of the road.

Can’t imagine that does the wheel bearings much good. 😂

[HMC]

Does the windscreen script suggest a send up of various automotive enthusiast fashions?
