Hi Rob,
What a fantastic show, thanks for posting the photos.
Corey's car looks stunning, I bet he had an admiring crowd around it all day.

Loads of other great cars, too many to single out any. I recognise a lot of the cars from the Cardiff and Singleton Park shows, but there are plenty that I haven't seen before. I was going to go to this show myself but chose the Gwili Railway show instead as it is a lot closer to home.
I'll probably make the trip next year as this show looks much better.

All the best,
Andrew.

Thanks Andrew, he had loads of great comments & pictures taken of it all day, probably something to do with the 4 hours he spent on Saturday waxing it :D

The Shows you, John & Nick went to were great to see as well, definitely more capris about over the border, will have to make a few longer trips next year I think.
Cheers,
Rob

Hi Rob.

Mate great photos from what looks a fantastic show. Glad the sun turned out for you too...looks a beautiful day.

Fella I have to say that white Fiesta XR2 is divine...love them. That shape is by far the best Fiesta in my opinion...

And your sons Mini looks absolutely superb. All credit to him mate :applaud: I had heard from You and Andrew talking that he had one but this is the first time I seen it in all its glory. Nice one !

You and Andrew and your Son should all pop over some time for a show this part of the world. Would be great to meet up. If not I must head over your way...what are the opening times of that big bridge again... :lol: :lol: :lol:

All the best mate and please pass on my comments to your son...well deserved indeed :)

Yes, MK1 Fiesta was like new, would love a Supersport in black myself. Cheers for comment on my boys Mini, he keeps it looking nice.
Yes, We'll have to pop over, either a Ford show or the Queen Square meet maybe.

Cheers, my first car was more rust than metal :D

South Wales XRs were immaculate, fair play to them.

Hi Rob,

Looks like a great show and perfect weather too. Struggling to pick my favorite car out of your photo's :?
Must say your lads Mini is very nice. I wouldn't mind one of those myself, it could make a good daily driver for me :)

All the best

HI Rob,

Great Pic's of what looks like a GREAT day out for you too.... Some brilliant cars there I must say, the 1st pic caught my eye, the Audi Coupe Rally Colours, I used to love, well, still do actually, these cars, amazing when they were released onto the Rally World and ever since too. This was I think looking at the Pic a MKI, Long Wheel Base, as they kinda got know, as very soon after this, they brought out a Shorter one with better grip etc, but nothing stopped me admiring the first incarnation!! Did you get a Look inside the Toyota Celica Rally car??? If so, did it have the Dreaded 4th Pedal???

Great news for your Lad, congratulations.... Cheers for sharing these Pic's, brilliant, many thanks, all the very best,

John...

Hi Neil,
Yes weather turned out great after, some very nice cars in attendance, couldn't pic one myself. My boys Mini is his daily driver, he's not keen on modern cars so suits him great.
Cheers,
Rob

Thanks john,
Audi Quattro is well presented, he also owns an immaculate bright red road car version as well, he was toying with selling the road car for £15,000, I've got no idea if that's good or not but it looked stunning in the pictures. I didn't notice the pedals in the Celica but really liked the car. Owner said though it's stripped out it's not too loud in there, which was good as he was saying he can't help but give it some when he's driving it :D
Cheers,
Rob
