Hi John, Ben and me will be there, what about staying over? The hotel will be booked, do they offer camping or the like?
Cheers Calvin.

Hi Calvin,

Great news :D wont be ' The Only TR7 In The Village '

They offer camping but £30 per night :shock: !!! Billing not far away though. For me its only 30 miles so will enjoy a comfy bed at home plus can only go Sunday as working Saturday morning.

Cheers John

Let's hope that they haven't been too disrupted by the tragic events in Shoreham. I hope there is some time given over to the victims too.

Tickets purchased, camping over the Saturday night, TR7V8 as transport. Getting excited now.
Can't wait to see group B rally cars in action. Only ever see them in static displays.

What an excellent show and a superb way to spend a weekend with a friend who has aviation running through his veins. Loved the rally cars and the dragsters are mental! Great displays from clubs including the TR register and The TSSC among others but personal faves were the Integrales, the R5 turbo 2 and a rather nice 205 GTI.
Good to meet up with John, we were both impressed by the 200MPH Hayabusa flying down the runway.

Formula 1 cars being used in anger always a sight to behold -

And getting up close to then nearly as good, how F1 has changed since this Hesketh was running with now considered to be very un P.C. sponsorship -

Group 'B' rally cars stationary and being used -

Plus a rally Lotus with a Rover V8 engine in the boot, door handles looks familiar !

Loads of Drag race cars there running up the runway approach road, loved this genuine Hemi powered Super Bird in Petty colours -

With these two beauties flywing and Battle Of Britain Flight doing a twenty plus display -

And this year not the only TR7 ' In The Village ' which was good
