Some lovely looking motors there but what’s going on with that Transit!

We're planning to wander up shortly.

That white K plate Capri is rather nice. The early shaped cars was by far the best and added RS alloy wheels for extra win.

70s customizing at its best*. Takes me back to Custom Car mag circa 1974.

Yet another show of which I was unaware.

Today was not a good day to go. Most of the classics had gone, also many stands. Parking field was muddy, rescue tractor was busy. I used short cuts tho.

Yup, was soggy underfoot. Nice show to walk around though. You never quite knew what was around the next corner.

I was there on the Monday, and took an appropriate* vehicle for the mud.

but then countered that with trainers and white chino shorts which were not appropriate for the conditions…

You were right about the turnout on the Monday, it was apparent that a lot of exhibitors had left. Still a fun day out for the family though.

There was even a stationary engine display with old blokes in lawn chairs for @sierraman

I hadn’t been to anything like this with my mrs, but she said she enjoyed herself. She was a big fan of the traction engines, much to my surprise. It was the first time my son saw anything like this too, and it was great to see how excited he was throughout the visit. I loved these shows as a kid, so hopefully it’s something we can share going forwards.

Saw that Foden, and a steam car hidden in a trailor, but everything else in your backgrounds had buggered off when we got there
