It certainly ain't looking great - what contingency plans do Stanford Hall have, as they won't want cars churning up the grass?

The show and shine will continue regardless. I don't have an email address for Phil Ward, so can't email him and find out what is going on, but from previous years the show still carries on.

Well, I went in the end. There were some beautiful cars there but I have to say it was a real disappointment and, as someone who goes to a lot of shows, I was suprised how unfriendly it was. I parked up next to a yellow 16vt where the coupes were and twice said hello to the guy next to me who completely blanked me. I then nodded a hello to another owner (can't remember what car) who also blanked me. No one came up and said hello and I did try to mingle but to no avail. I've gotta say I was really disappointed because this forum is one of the best.

In reply to Goonv8, Im so glad someone wrote this before me and really dissapointed that i didnt meet you instead of the people that i did meet!! Me and the girlfriend arrived and parked with the coops to find most owners sat in their cars, i also nooded to one owner who appeared to blank me. we immediatly got out of the car and walked over to the "fccuk tent" where there were two guys, i made a wisecrack about the tent (which in hindsight couldve been taken the wrong way) trying to break the ice only to have the two men turn their backs to me and tottally ignored!!! Me and the gf went for a wander round then came back and managed to find the concourse lads who were exceptionally friendly!! credit to the forum especially the owner of the red LE trev?? All in all it was a badexperience and has put me off paying to go to future events! Heres another idea too, why dont we all put some money together to buy a club banner at least because there was no way of knowing where we were from! Matt

Did you come and say hello to me? I was in my yellow 20vt.. I was very much in the same boat as you (as loud as I am, i'm quite shy) but Begbie came over and even knew who I was (which suprised me as I don't know anyone except Bob!) Anyway.. On the way there I kept saying to my friend that I bet there will be literally 5 ferrari's turning up if the weather stayed the same.. And low and behold they proved me right.. Hurts the resale value if driven in the wet it would seem ;-) Good turn out for the Maseratti's and the Alfa's (as usual for this show) despite there being quite frankly the chaviest looking 156 I have ever seen taking pride of place...oh. Show was all in all a bit of a disappointment for me, especially seeings as I brought a Vw owner with me to try and tempt him away from another mundane vag show.. I'll let the weather take most of the blame for this one. Dan (the one who thought it would be a good idea to wear shorts ;-) ) P.s.. Well done to the concours entrants.. All looking lovely despite the crap weather
