I visited this today. It always amazes me how so many people, especially younger ones, have the time to attend these events on a week day.
Outside the main hall they have around 30 old cars on display. A row of MG`s, several prewar examples, including the very rare "L" type that I have written about previously. Many other British models and the usual show of Mercedes Benz. Having restored a couple of cars in the past I am always impressed with standard of the display.
Inside the motorcycle customers are well catered for. Triumph have a whole range of their models, and one of the other stands had a Triumph Thunderbird (?), which is one impressive piece of machinery. Many Ducati`s and other "big" bikes that I am not familiar with.
Many "exotic" breeds on display with mind blowing prices to match. All the popular everyday drivers with a lot of interest being shown in the modified, or "blinged up", pick up trucks. However it still amazes me that most of these types still utilise rear leaf springs and drum brakes. I guess that is what sells and those customers are happy with a basic agricultural suspension.
The after market sector is well represented with all sorts of items from window tinting films to polishes and "care" products. I kept away from the audio display as did not have any ear plugs!
And of course the "pretties"! A lot of them look like they should be still at School, but the spruikers tend to put me off, so I just look from a distance.
One good thing that is new this year is a central area selling food and drinks with plenty of tables and chairs to sit down at, and at reasonable prices. The show is free entry and was packed out by the time I left around 3-00 pm.
