Default Classics on the Common.

Did anyone else go?
I took my camera but that was a total waste of time.
Saw a few RS Turbo's and two 3 Door cosworths on display.

Followed a lovely silver XR3i on cloverleafs on the way out.

Absoluetly packed! Seemed like thousands of people there. Didnt get any pictures because there was too many people walking round the cars! I think the car limit was around 1000 this year. Plus a few hundred motorbikes.

Had a great mix of cars though.

I would recommend this one. As its free, although I did donate, it has such a good mix of cars.

Yeah it was good, my only gripe was how busy it was. Trying to take photographs and having someone walk infront of you every few seconds.

Yeah it was my first time going, really enjoyed it. Loved the variation. I've only ever really been to brand specific car shows before, which can get a bit dull after a while.

Well Pauls 3i was very nice.
