There is a car show at Ashover, Derbyshire on Sunday 27th July 2014, 10am. No pre booking is required and you can leave when you like. Entry fee £5 per car. I am going, hope to see fellow members there.

Might be tempted, its a good fun drive to get there from mine, what time you going to be there etc? Are you filling in one of their car forms or just rocking up on the day?

It is ok to turn up on the day so dont bother with the forms. Just follow the signs and traffic to go in with everyone else, then when you pay the man he will ask if you are showing your car and then direct you to a separate field full of lovely cars. We are going early and intend to arrive about 9am to avoid sitting in a queue and watching the temperature gauge. The organisers are the local Rotary Club and are very friendly and fun people. We went last year and it was a good day and you can escape when you need to. I am driving to Snowdownia later on in the day so will be leaving just after lunch.

A big well done and thank you to Tricky for meeting us today and what a turn out of cars, 4 fields full. It was sunshine all the way too. Here are some photos from the day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to Noble Motorsport for successfully remapping my car last year.

 

 

We even managed to arrive in Snowdownia in time for tea.

Beat me to it!

 

Some more pictures, these were some of my favorites, but as Julie said a very diverse array of cars.

Great day out and very cheap a fiver for entry, shed loads of cars, of all types, autojumble and all for a charitable cause.

Just a pity we didn't get more interest off the forum, our cars created a lot of interest and may have added a couple of new future members who have the Westfield bug.

 

To top it off a most enjoyable drive home through Matlock, Darley Dale, Chatsworth, Baslow, Hathersage, Bamford and back home via "The Strines". 

Would be nice to launch a bigger assault on this show next year, Derby, Yorks, Manc's area AO's what do you think?

Almost forgot, the sublime to the ridiculous,   

 

Reliant trike, well half of one. 

 

 

This van would only just take a 50" flat screen.

I'd completely missed this thread, i was also bored yesterday and could have done with an excuse for a drive!

 

Next year if the sun promises to shine
