Carfest - 25th - 26th August
Hi
Just wondered if any DDK people have got tickets to 'carfest'? I managed to get a weekend ticket , but they all sold out come about 9am today
Not sure how it will all go, but looks like fun, and hey - it's for charity mate.
There asking if car clubs would like to attend?!

.... As you know, I'm younger than you so haven't become a radio 2 listener yet
Mind you, I don't really listen to the radio anyway on my daily commute

Re: carfest
I don't listen to Radio 2 of course, I'm far too young and trendy, but my mum tells me that because of the high demand Evans is now organising a 2nd event a couple of weeks later somewhere in the north.

Re: carfest
I expressed an interest in the northen one, and asked that they actually have it in the north, not just a bit north of london.
I think tickets for the north event go on sale on Wednesday.
And if you got tickets for the southern event you can swop them for the northern one.

Re: carfest
I've registered interest in the northern one - but I'll wait and see what bands etc are on - it might also clash with eldest daughter going to uni but we'll see

Re: Carfest - 25th - 26th August
Sorry not got pics - phone ran out. I thoroughly enjoyed it - whole family went - a really nice atmosphere. It was my first festival and found it great fun. Not much in the way of porsches - all seem to have been supplied by Porscheshop.
Good fun. Highlight was singing along to Bohemian Rhapsody with about 20,000 others

Re: Carfest - 25th - 26th August
I went on Sunday, expecting long queues, and drove straight off the A303 into the show without stopping. A brilliant event overall, loads for kids to do (not that it affected me), some lovely cars and good food. The locals are up in arms now, which is a shame.
