Was hoping to get to this but alas still in hospital. Looks like it's actually quite quiet compared to the previous RADWood I'd seen 🤔 but a great location to have it, the dockyards are fascinating!

There were less cars than I thought there might have been, but the whole of the dockyard was fairly quiet, maybe because it was a Saturday, I don’t know.
Off to Aylesford priory today, for the car show there might get a few photos if I can.

I wonder what's more xclusive, a 959 or a F40?

We did look into this but glad we didn't go - the entry price is ridiculous compared to other shows. If they even halved it they would get a lot more interest.
That said it looks like there were a few nice bits there.

The entry price was quite high, but it did also give you access to the rest of the dockyard site, which I did wander round and quite enjoyed, HMS Cavalier was good, I didn't go on the submarine, too claustrophobic!
It was £28 for the car and as many people you could fit into it, and a single adult ticket to just the dockyard is around the same price so wasn't too bad.
Of course if it had just been held in a field then I'd agree the price would've been excessive.

Thanks for the photos, I was worried I'd missed out!
The extra distance over Bicester from deepest darkest Devon put us off.
Very cool venue though.
Looks like they werent short of C4's anyway!

This looks great, I'd say £28 for a carfull isn't that bad if there is stuff to do for the day. Shame I always work Saturdays because motor trade. People don't tend to consider that when putting car stuff on.
Edit: Almost forgot, great pics, thanks for sharing

The potential of RADWood is huge - and it is really popular in the US, it's a shame it hasn't taken off over here. Chatham Dockyard was great and I'd have enjoyed it even without the cars. I'd like to see RADWood take off in the UK with the docks as it's permanent home.
Also, TV's Paul Cowland was rather complimentary about the SPCCRSR as I arrived, so that was nice.
