Youth is wasted on the young.
Last time I went to Gaydon was 06. Only went this year because of the M Photo. It's a terrible location and a terrible show! They should do it properly, hire Silverstone (or Donny as it will be cheaper) Sell tickets to a track day, (ultimate DRIVING machine!) Set up a drag strip on the Melbourne Loop. Have all the stands dotted around the back of the paddock area. Along with the clubs/regions and forums.
Anyway here's some pics.



Hired for the photoshoot!

Cherry Pcker seems to do well enough.




Nice to see even cars with "low mileage" leak fluids and have twisted CV boots

See if Munich Legends were anygood they would have turned up for the picture with this car

very enjoyable day i thought, with some really pretty metal on show! I did think we were in a shite place though, aswell as Dips' stand. Was good to meet a few more zoners, and many thanks to Adi for being so organised! Who was the guy next to me in the 320is? Thanks for the lend of the microfibre, and nice IS! And thanks to Faze30 for being generally comical!
P.S: who is the chap with the track prepped coupe with carbon bonnet, hartge front valance and polycarb windows? That car really weakened my knees

Looks like the zone was given possibly the worse location there!!kieran325 wrote:Was anyone disappointed with the location of stand parking ?
The main tarmac area to the right was full of scrap, yet all the good uns had dreadful parking in the sticks.
When we got there, we were asked if we wanted to park with the M3's - which we did, but driving down the main approach we were stopped and asked to park up, only the red M3's were allowed on the the tarmac areas WTF![]()
I thought with it being the 25th anniversary of the M3 then all M3's should be together.
I don't think I will bother next year, I've seen enough for a few years
I didn't bother this year as last year I felt exactly the same. I'd seen enough! Location needs to change now. All to samey samey!
B7's Motto. "If it's French, BURN IT!!!!!!"
The Red one with the Style 5's is mine.
Just a std M3 sadly. It's a UK car though. Original no. plate was F541 SPL. Its had quite a few private plates on in it's time and must have lost the original plate somehow. I have recently put the Evo2 splitter on as I quite like it. I also have the Std bumper and wheels to revert it back to std if needed.
Some lovely cars on display but it is getting a bit repetitive now. I overheard someone say that next year is a double celebration. I think they said 40 years of Motorsport and something else. This may throw a few different cars into the mix hopefully.
