spursmaddave Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Went to the show on Sunday with my mate who is in a wheelchair and we got treated like VIP's. We only had silver (cheapest) tickets but for the first show we were on a raised platform in front of the seating area and for the second show we were just behind the concrete crash barriers My photographic skills are on a par with my photoshop skills so please be kind The first show was around a track hosted by Tiff Nedell and featured Sabine Schmitz Here she is driving a Lancia Stratos... double and driving a Van Drifting competition This guy did a lap on 2 wheels The Stig in a Caterham The Second show was Clarkson / Hammond & May hosting an 'Alternative Olympics' Clarkson & Hammond having a Curling contest with May on a quad bike sweeping All 3 having a chariot race with chariots made up of 4 scooters instead of horses Then there was the cars, which to be honest was a bit of a letdown but still ok I guess And cars from the show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesterfield Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Was the classic car show in at the same time when you went? We went round several halls of classics when we were there, some very nice looking motors indeed. Apart from the front splitter that oakley design 458 looks gorgeous. However I did take quite a shine to some of the classics - the Dino, Tetarossa or E-type roadsters were fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 Yeah i'm not a classic car lover but I preferred the older cars to some of the new ones, the black lambo with the yellow leather was gorgeous though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixy Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Been to this last two years running and felt like I couldn't be bothered again this year. The Classic show was really good when I went and it's not actually as old and boring as it sounds. I was a bit disappointed with it last year after thinking it was so good the year before. I think if you hadn't been before you would probably really enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of a bromance to be fair, when he gets a text my 2 year old godson says 'is that Dave?' His missus is not impressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
