There's only so many weekends sadly, especially when the venues all have other events trying to get dates too.

Pretty simple choice I reckon, out of Crail, Blackpool or Nat Day, there would only be one choice there for me!

Probably cheaper for the organisers to get a date in September than a date in June/July would be.


Cheers,

no brainer for me, Blackpool ford day for me, local and a small event.
sadly nothing to do and not a great deal to see really.
i left in a hurry though, some stupid woman ran into the road on the way out being a prick though, to be fair i did make a lot of noise.

Yeah I did mate. I went two years ago and it was a cool show, I've just bought a Mk1 Golf Gti Sportline Cabrio so took the g/f along. I saw the golf with the air-cooled lump in the boot & fuel tank under the bonnet, looked sweet. Was running a set of Fifteen52 snowflakes which I ordered for my Golf last week.

It was a great show tbh, funnily enough there were hardly any rat-look or purposely rusty looks, that seems to be more common amongst Ford/Vauxhall these days.
