Oh yes? Tell me all about it! I spotted buckets, a tow strap, MGF wheels (I think) with Pistonheads centrecaps... what's the story?

Looks like a grand day out, they all seem to be getting regular use too! Why does this Lotus have a backbox bolted to the rocker cover? EDIT: Cheers, couldn't figure out how to deembigulate them…

Lotus airboxes look like that. btw, those imgur pics are massive - maybe best to grab them from here instead...

a side exit exhuast made by me using the nozzle from a hoover for the tail pipe Hero! Engine swap? Well, the traditional thing used to be to bung a Fiat twin-cam in there. Why not contemporise that idea a little and put in the 20v Turbo lump from a Fiat Coupe...? ;D

ideas have ranged from rx7 rotarys too five pots to v6s,it needs to be different but small in size to fit the engine bay,i like the idea of a 5 pot especially the fiat one but there is thoughts of golf vr6's at the moment but i do still have a ford pre x- in the garage which was thought about as it was cheap but more power isnt, i do the retro cars track days at brands hatch with it and its great in the bends but pitiful on the straights

Keep the A-series and bolt a supercharger to it...?

that has also been considered especially with all the difficulties nowadays with the dvla and modified cars

Shame to have missed this,.. I was sunnying myself in Sardinia though, so I'll survive the shame ... Looks like a fantastic event again, wish I could have gone and flyered the hell out of some of those cars for RR Gathering this year. Nice to see the Doc Merfield Cortina still out, may drop Jon a message and see if he can make The Gathering

My 11 week-old daughter's first car show Very poor, I dragged my daughter to a VW meet at eight days old and the first classic car show a week later! She slept through both of them too! That brings back memories, Le Mans 2007 he was camped next to us, we woke up on the friday morning to the sound of them trying to start it after monsoon rain the night before!
