Well, I’ve just got back from the Matching Green Classic & Sports Car Club Annual Car Show……… Never been to it before, but was blown away with the cars that were there and the show in general!

Apart from the car clubs, there was an arena, beer stall, burger stall, tea stall, various stands selling old car bits, other stands selling flowers, pictures etc and another selling car detailing stuff…… very well done event!

I’ve taken a wide shot (stitched together from four photos) to show how big this thing has got…..



Apparently started well over 10 years ago as an annual event, and had grown each year - I “guestimate” that there was 200-250 cars on show… But NO Scoobies .

I have seen the Event Organiser and he will be willing to have up to 12 Scoobies at next years show, so I’ve registered for it and will get an invitation next year so we can try to attend…… assuming we want to of course, but it would be daft not to…..

As to the cars – well I saw some cars I’ve never seen before, and some really stunning, well renovated, classic cars – I do like to see the old cars when they have been restored well – shows true enthusiasm and dedication…

I’ve never seen an Allard Palm Beach before, nor a Bitter, an Iso Griffin, a Panwall, a Pao, a Roesch Talbot or a ******… bet not many of you have either!

And when was the last time you saw THREE Delorean’s in a row……… ??

I did'nt see much advertisment about overwise i would have gone.

But then sticking my neck out on this but a scooby would,nt any justice on what was on show there..









Put me name on the list looie for next year...

Saw something in the CM10 Magazine a few months ago, went on thier web site, liked what I saw, so made a note on the calendar to pop along...

Don't agree in this instance - There were a lot of different car clubs present, each one had modern cars as well as the older ones I took photos of..... I don't have any doubts that we would fit in quite well...

Adidas

Gutted, didn't realise it was this weekend

We ended up going to the classic Bus show at North Weald instead

Yep im with you on that. it would be a very nice meet if you had a good amount of scoobs. I think going through your pics and then seeing the 350Z just throw me. it looked odd mixing it with what was there... but Thats my opinion.. like i said im on the list..

Looie

Gawd......... you were only 10 mins away then!!
