First car show in a while, quite a big deal as it was Cranleigh, and that is pretty much where I got Amy from. She was taken there by the previous owner just before I got her in 2013. I missed it last year, as was away at the time. So glad to finally make it this year.
Today : Partially Sunny, Clouding over
Conditions : Bright and Dry
Temp : 18°
Journey : Cranleigh Car Show
Distance : 60 miles
Other slightly significant point, this was 30 miles each way, which is the longest one way / return trip I have done since getting her. It was .. erm interesting.
Arrived in good time and joined the half-hour queue to get in! Parked up with with the Austin Counties Car Club, as we had been assigned an area.
It was absolutely huge, when we arrived and did a first walk through it was almost overwhelming, this photo doesnt really convey the scale, but thousands of cars were there it seemed!
We had a walk about a couple of times and then went into town for lunch, that was quite a walk. As before at Cobham, Robbie had his BMX bike with him to get some skatepark time. Expect I was still the only classic with a BMX on board!
Sat down for a bit and had a natter with the ACCC folks, whilst Robbie went around the show himself, then towards the end of the day, we got ourselves the best seats in the house to watch all the cars start to flood out. Rob got plenty of beeps and revs out of people by geeing them up!
We were amongst the last to leave in the end as we got so engrossed. Good day, and very knackered when got home. The largest and to quote Robbie "the best car show we have done so far"
The interesting aspect was how she ran. She purred all the way there at speeds roughly between 25-50 mph. Sat in the queue to get in she got all "lumpy".
On the way home she started off all lumpy and then gradually cleared and purred most of the way again, again between 25-50 mph.
Strange. Women!.. Huh....

It felt a little strange leaving Amy in a car park all day though, not sure why. But I think it is the longest she has been left alone in a strange place for...!!! Oh dear... I need my head testing!
