What a great car, love it! - Definitely counts.....😎

Zero abuse from me mate, I totally agree that most "Classic" events have been hijacked by cars that are way too new to be classed as such. Even the North and South shows makes sense. I drive mine with fingers always crossed anyway......😁

The 1300 E's on the stand alone, are well worth the visit - they don't get any better.

And please pop along to the stand and say hello.

Hopefully have a few takers, it is one of my favourite weekends car wise....😎

Nice pic. Did the motors get a lot of attention?

Be sure to come over and say hello, Miniliteman....👍

Come on ladies and gents, all tickets brought using our code, does help a little towards the club if the code is used enough. With all being locked up for 18 months, hopefully a few more of us than usual are chomping at the bit for a mega car show, and being indoors means the weather cannot kill it - and there is something cool about the NEC Classic car show, just a great day - or four for us......😎

Always seems like it would be a good weekend, and almost made it a few years back. Is there a good number of old motors or are there way too many newer motors on show? I think the later was the reason we ditched it in the end, thinking it was mostly newer cars? Loving the green estate.....😎

She is a stunning Capri mate, that rear end shot.....😍 Great colour, and beautiful interior - always great to see another Capri out and about, brilliant.

Looking forward to it Ray, the stand is going to look really good this year, with the effort you have put in - should be a fun 4 days........😎

Wow, that looks like it will be a stunner when complete. Always good to see another Crapi in the gang.....😎 Look forward to checking out the build pics as you go.....👍

Looks like that could be half tidy Col, if the weather is kind. With one night camping so you can have a beer and a laugh in the evening....😎 But to answer your question, I have not been.

Nice pics. And I noticed the tit in the Focus with their door open way too close to the Harrier......there is always one....🙄

That is a very pretty RS2K, great colour.....😎

I started a thread for using and abusing the old cars we all have, it just died a death - it seems we all have them, but no one drives them anymore....shame. when I am out in her, I will post.....😎

Yep, both of those are fooking cool, really loving the 70's mustard yellow one......😎

That is absolutely spot on - MK2's don't get much better than that......😎

Yeah, definitely suits some colours better than others. The black mk2 RS2K's, the black and silver really suits them I think. Other colours, of all cars, less so though. only my opinion obviously....😁

I am hooked on watching Millyard videos now, clever bloke really doesn't cut it. Some insane brain and engineering skills the fella has, King amazing.....😎

Because our DVLA is run by idiots. Other than the colour, there is no reason what so ever, they are all the same size and do exactly the same job....🤔

Can't argue with much of what Katana has quoted above, all makes a lot of sense. With regards Classic cars, I personally would rather not own one than have to convert it to run as an electric car. There is nothing quite like the sound of a well drilled Pinto, V6, V8, cossie, the list goes on and on, and that is a massive part of the attraction, for me anyway. I could just listen to a decent engine and it will make me smile. I have been to shows where a guy will start up his American 6.2 litre V8 and just let it slowly idle, and the sound just makes me smile, some times even laugh - there is no substitute. In comparison the soul less sound of an electric car resembles that of a days golfing when using a buggy, and that is not what an old car should ever sound like. New cars, I couldn't care less, as for me, they are just a means to an end, and I would use electric if necessary at some point as a day to day commuter, but never our old classics, I would rather sell and move on with my life.

Voodoo57, I know the road - you still relatively local, and more importantly - do you still have the Escort?.....👍

S for snap-on or shite?........😄

Just take some bread, you can use the snap on toaster.....😄
