Not a bad show, one to look out for next year. Air Bear Bunch were there with 4 vans and a couple of bugs, and there was a 1303 cab with ATS alloys and a 1914 motor, but that was it for VWs. There was a tidy resto-cal in the carpark though, and I met Pat (Thmptrck) off here just as I was leaving. I only stopped for a couple of hours, but worth the 3 quid in!

Pretty cool show, good to see that us dubbers arnt the only ones to throw money at strange cars!

Good to see the other old cars, and also how some others are becoming classics (Granada Scorpio suprised me - I remember me friends dad at school having one new)

Wouldnt mind me an old army landrover. just have to camaflage the van instead.

The classic was the commentry on the 2001 bus (double decker type) - "it looks like this has been modernised - did you do all the work?" The bus driver didnt seem to know quite what to say.
