We went last year and will be going again this year. Look on the web site for a full A-Z list of the exhibitors. The Westfield factory were there last year but I cannot see them listed this year. It is a full day out so I recommend you get there early.

 

See you there.

Thanks for the link, somehow I have convinced SWMBO to come.

Banner link in the VSCC site failed? Does anybody else get the fail? Says  504 - GATEWAY TIMEOUT.

Got me ticket for Saturday, the better weather day. Is it going to be good enough to go in my car though??? and what about the VIP parking that has suddenly come on offer, is it worth having????  oooh it's a hard life having to make all these important decisions.

last year I didn't have it and I was parked right next to the halls.

Good point Mark, the VIP parking has sold out anyway :down:  but the weather is forecast dry, so that's my Westie parked in a field. Hopefully if I get there early I can get a good spot.

 

See you there.

Personally I would not go in my Westy. The road I entered on last year was full of massive potholes, some of which were unavoidable, and there were a couple of hefty speed bumps if I remember right

So OCLO here is busy trying to judge if there really will be any showers or if the weather forecasters are just covering themselves when out come the gritters and spoil everything anyway. So I employed the chauffeur hubby for the day and off we went in his car instead. The day was brilliant, very busy indeed with loads to look at. There are all the show cars in the indoor halls and the rally action outside. I have some very dodgy filming, watch the Vauxhall ?Viva? he was so noisy with no silencer attached and that bend near the start line was loads of fun to watch. I just wish you could smell it too. I have more footage of the red mark2 escort, he really got going as the corner became more slippy later. 

 

The stalls were good, I went for a small number plate and a handbrake switch (about 20 quid in total), of which I got neither. Instead I came home with a full set of new LED rear lights (well over £100) and they are beautiful. I am not quite sure how it happened but I can't wait to get them fitted. I will have some rear round Westfield lights for sale later this week!

 

Catering, parking and the whole organisation is excellent at this event, and the best bit - empty ladies toilets, no queuing.

That Vauxhall was running a 302 chevy v8 under the bonnet, it looked quite a handful keeping it in a straight line :oops:

Another very enjoyable show for me this year. I bumped into a couple of WSCC members, spent some time working my way through the trade stands and also had some useful conversations with some companies about parts for the JW4.
