Guy at work asked if I was going to this but sadly I'm in London.
Basically a show for all sorts of vehicles. Everything from V8 hot rods, drag racers, army trucks, steam powered cars, bikes etc etc

I'v been doing this for the last few years! Its always a great show with such a huge mix of cars. I am hoping the move to the new place does not change that as its always been one of my must do shows of the year.

Well was a great day although that was the most unorganised show I have ever been to. All the roads became grid locked the the venue packed out within hours and people that had been in the traffic for 3 hours were being turned away at the gates.

 

 

Anyway heres my pics. Tag away if you wish.

Looks a great show, weather was kind as well. I'll have to pencil this in for next year.

4th year I have been at its always a great show. Venue change meant I don't think they really knew what they were doing which was a shame. I hope that the bad experience some got people got won't kill off the show.  It get more and more popular every year.

Was a great show, very busy (normally there are around 2000 cars, this year was over 5000!) unfortunately, the roads around the area aren't great at coping with such a large volume of traffic, nonetheless a great show though

This was the 4th year I had done Wheels Day and it was always one of the best shows of the year for me!

What a shame. I know the roads around the area aren't great (small b and a roads) but it's not their fault that so many people wanted to attend. When F1 is on at Silverstone the organisers have to shutdown half the road network in the local area to manage traffic flow, but even then the congestion is bad.....let hope it can be reborn at some point in the future
