I take it you're not going Keith, being a 'static show'? (sorry, couldn't resist)

No, hillclimb events the two previous weekends then off on first holiday in five years. And it's a 650-mile round trip, which I wouldn't like to do in the 914 these days. My ears and back wouldn't take it...Jonny Hart wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2024 8:08 pm I take it you're not going Keith, being a 'static show'? (sorry, couldn't resist)

So has this event now given into pressure and displaying post 73 porsches within the main show ? Disappointing If it has because it then becomes like many other shows & will have lost what was special about it. You don't see Goodwood revival etc changing their core

Yes all Aircooled now. I guess the falling attendance has forced their hand.

But isn’t that a yellow 996 gt3 in the background?
Bit of an air cooled faux pas

As well as being all air cooled, they have a display of GT3s to mark its 25 year anniversary.
Shame it’s lost its way a bit but I understand they need to make the numbers up. Used to be the highlight of my car events.

Was for me too Feroz. It was the only pure gathering of early cars we had .yoda wrote:As well as being all air cooled, they have a display of GT3s to mark its 25 year anniversary.

Its a shame, but maybe commercially its the only way to survive?

Personally I thought Megaphonics was the new bigger and much much better classics event.

Same here. Far better in fact. And only 15 minute drive away for me too!
