Never been to Gaydon bmw, how big?

[SUMPCRACKER]

Is this show big? what sort of cars show up?
Is it full of modded things or more of a Bmw car club mudflap event?

[Bob_S]

a bit of both, usually quite busy show with alsorts of nice examples and bruvved up chariots. A few people see it as aan almost must attend event

[SilverShadow]

I want to go but no1 I know is up for it!

[oakey]

^ I'm going I think

[Nay]

I'll have to make it over there one day. But I'd rather like someone local who's also interested to attend as travelling and going up there by myself, hotel and back again.... nah.

Where abouts in the UK is it?

Muflap event IMO

Few god awful modified cars as you get at any show, but realistically it's only good if you get off on seeing line after line of polished standard cars.

But there is a drive on the Aston Martin Test track. Which is less interesting than the M25

[McStanf]

This is the first ive heard of this but it sounds great! when is it? ill be there!

[RM2186]

15th and 16th August

[Felix79]

Oh it's mudflap heaven.

I would rather burn off my own nipples with a blow torche than go.

I will be going in my chariot,picking my mate up as his 635csi wont be ready in time.

Well someone has to lower the tone in a rusty turd

[e30topless]

I'm going , sadly not in the Hartge, but in the moredoor

[Simon13]

its a good place to catch up with folk you don't see too often. Always a tasty morsel to be had by the early birds off the traders, and a chance to see some unusal metal, Z1's. Z8's B10 bi-turbos

I like it

[Cotty]

I want to go but no1 I know is up for it!

Well I am going on my own and there is an unoficial E30Zone stand with other Zoners cars.

The museum usually has some intersting cars and like someone said you can have a go on the track.

[Rodderz]

It's only ok IMO. The Heritage Centre itself is pretty poor! I went about 4 years ago,and may go again this year if the weather is good!? Wouldnt do it every year!

There again I might be tempted to drive straight past it and visit Warwick castle instead!

[RSTurbo50]

Im taking my sport along....I went last year and it was ok, really busy but didnt stop raining. Im looking to display the car this time around...

The thing is here. If you are REALLY into BMW's and are SERIOUSLY into the marque then this is the biggest BMW show going. Therefore what is there not to like? It's one day in the calendar thats all, and even if you go and just do the bits YOU want to do i.e. the trailer queens, the modded stuff, the trade stands or even just to mix a bit of everything and get a free look round the heritage museum...... it has to be worth going surely?????

[DaveD]

If you haven't been GO as it is not a bad show ...I am not going as if you have been for the last 5 years I have as it tends to be the same every year.. ...going to Cadwell for a track evening instead the week after..it will cost about the same and will be more fun...i hope

[bilun777]

Anyone know what the test track drive is like?Are you allowed to give it some welly.

[oakey]

I'd love to have my car on the e30zone stand but there is no more space

[dips346]

I want to go but no1 I know is up for it!

got about 30 cars going up from our end

[hennabm]

If you have never been then do go. It is supposed to be the event of the year and there are plenty of BMWs to see, not just E30s.
There are a few traders there but be early if needing anything good.

Decide for yourself. We are told that numbers attending are up each year so something must attract them all.
The lads from this end of the world see it as a good weekend with the boys and cars - can't argue with that one

[djk]

Think I'll be there this year. Apart from anything, it'd be good to meet a few far flung zoners. BTW, advance tickets @ £9 finish on Monday @ 4pm, otherwise it's £11 on the gate. If you're as tight as me, you care about that two quid!

[Rich_W]

Anyone know what the test track drive is like?Are you allowed to give it some welly.

Yes you are. Up to 90mph (it's a wonder you can breathe at such speeds!) behind the Safety car.

Imagine a 4 lane motorway in a large oval and you are there

Go to Google Maps and type in "Gaydon, Warwick, United Kingdom"

and you can see it to the West of the pin.
