PVS is a must see, i have been ford fair, Jap Show, PVS, all the big shows at pod and PVS is THE most entertaining because them little shit boxes drop like flies on the strip, very amusing to witness so much engine carnage. Interestingly there was not a single break down at any of the Jap shows i have been to lol
I have owned 2 vauxhalls so i speak from experience

Unlikely, although you'll be treated to a fair few 11 and 12 second quarters with a handful of 10's I'd expect.

I can see you've never been Central Day?

It's genuinely cringe-worthy how many diffs/boxes/anything that can blow. I've counted 13 such failures in a 2-3 hour period before.

Been a couple of PVS and thought they were good for reliability! But thats against Ford stuff.

Good show to be fair.

Oh dear

I can think of as many mentally fast Vauxhalls as I can Fords, the only cars I know that are faster ( in a straight line ) would be Rod, Martin and Dave Moss, oh and maybe Ade, I don't think any of those Fords have touched near the 1/4 mile times the Vaux lads are doing now.

There are some rather loopy track cars out there as well although thats not what the show is about.

Will be a good weekend, I' heading up there tomorrow lunchtime

Well....

Wasnt to bad a day few intresting cars there. Quite funny on the way in getting the escort searched before wthey let me in. One thing i did notice is that the vauxhall scene is no where near as big as fords, central day had so many more cars running and alot more people there, even thow.. the majority of people there were wearing track suits and drinking fosters!

All in all was a pretty good day and the sun was shinning so took a few pics..

Quite nice pics there, not that keen on the corsa with ICE mind, some vauxhalls are quick, but I rekon Fords are much better, only, there aren't that many serious ones in the UK, I mean how many UK cossies run 9's?

Went 2 years ago and loved it, but ive seen it once dont need to go again lol

Its not really great seeing 100s of new astra vxrs.

Still i think its the sunday is the main day for it as its a 3 day show this time. Should be busy tomorrow.

My mates down in his sub 400bhp astra gsi mk4, shame he wont be up the strip with it. Black with white comps so look out for it.

Surprised you say it's less busy, it's normally a much bigger show than Central Day. It's slightly bigger than Classic Ford day for numbers through the door too!
