	I was really hoping to go to this show but missed it once again . Looking at the pics it seems like a really great mix of new and old so next year I really need to make the effort !
	You've been telling me you were a genius since you were seventeen ... in all the time I've known you I still don't know what you mean !

	I really like this show. I took the Land Rover and Mercedes last year and thoroughly enjoyed it, certainly enough to want to go back this year so when Elliott from Wheel Whores invited me back I jumped at the chance. Reviving "Project X" was super tiring but a lot of fun. And certainly didn't break me like its initial build back in 2010! The only thing I reckon goes against the show, and it's kind of a big thing, is the name. I'm not one for 'stance' things and I found myself not mentioning the name when telling people where I was going at the weekend. As an indoor car show it's great. I like the set-up, the range of cars, the wonderful diversity within the mass of what has come out of a huge VW show (Ultimate Dubs) and just the general vibe. Seeing a good mix of cars from makes like Ford, Renault, Peugeot, BMW, Mercedes, Vauxhall, Mazda, Toyota and many more, form all different eras and in so many different style makes you soon realise that the name (which I know has put other people off coming) really doesn't do the show justice. I'll continue to go if it churns out interesting vehicles like it has done so far, in an environment that allows you to enjoy them looking their best, whatever the weather. It was great to catch up with you HoTWire and nice to get to chat for more than the usual 2 mins we seem to get at other events. Love the photos too, really captures what the show is about to me.

	Nice write up and thanks for including a photo of my non-retro too. I think it's a great show and nice how many retros are included in the halls - hats off to the team involved in deciding on the successful applicants to that regard. I agree about the name too - particularly when all cars have stance of some description - be it raised, dropped, standard, etc. Unfortunately this leads to people saying "how did I not get in? My car got epic stance y'know" or "my stance game is on point". For me the big thing that hits me with US is variety so if anyone with any sway is reading this I'd suggest to rename it to "Ultimate Variety" or UV for short. Either way more of the same show wise next year and I'll be happy.

	Last year's show interested me, this year looks great. One to pencil in for next time, perhaps... *n

	Yeah, pretty much what Mystery Machine has said, most of my friends laughed when I went to a stance show then felt gutted when they saw my pics. Was very nice to see a lot of cars I've seen on RR for real up close with a different vibe to the gathering, the indoor / outdoor setting of the show was perfect for a foggy November day. I like the raised platform in between the first 2 halls too. I was especially impressed by those who had managed to drop their suspension and get the arches to sit exactly between between the tyre and the wheel on all four corners. Then I spent a good while staring lovingly at the red lotus, then stared a bit more, then went home. All in all a great day out. Rob

	I must admit, the stance thing did make me question whether it would be worth the 260 mile drive up from Cornwall? I needn't have worried though, as there was a great mix of cars and it was good to be near the RR stand. Both Lotus' look absolutely stunning in the metal, so I can see why RR won 'best stand'. I did feel a bit out of place when people got out all their polishes, waxes, dusters etc etc. In my day, it was a squirt of Fairy Liquid in a bucket and a tub of Turtle Wax!

	Such a high standard of cars in those photos. Looks like one of those shows worth making a proper effort to get to.
