Have been booked for this show for months and the admittance pass has been on the notice board for ages! What a great day, good venue, lots of cars, weather was once again spot on. Me, Robbie and one of his mates along for the ride. They enjoyed themselves too. Arrived around 10am and left around 4.30pm.

Reggie and the wife turned up in the afternoon too, which was nice.

Bunch of pictures of the day in no particular order:

Just around the corner from the show there is an old-time garage that I have driven past a few times. Real blast from the past, we took a stop to look in. Three MG's out side. Another one inside, plus an old moggy and a GT6.

Further along the journey we followed a Triumph Renown down the A331 most of the way from Farnham to Farnborough. Amy ran sluggish and lumpy after that second long dual carriageway stretch of the day. All the way from Frimly to home. But we made it fine anyway, it was only me that noticed.

Quick check showed that one of the spark plugs was completely coked up. No wonder it felt like 3 cylinders, there could have hardly been a spark. Cleaned up, replaced and quick blast round the block. All good as usual. Must be a root cause, but compression was still fine across all four, so not sure, but no big deal.
