Zoners

I have noticed both shows fall on the very same day which is on the 15hSep this sunday.

qestion is which one are you all going to and or which is better i.e turn out crowd and general facilities?

I mean i have herd much about santa pod and how throughout the year they have all cars from all makes and modles gogin to show off and or strech its legs up the strech.

I have to be honest i have not herd much at all about players can anybody fill me on it ?

which one would have the larger turn outwith more e30's as this is what im interested in

thanks
Jono

santa pod is likely to be wet and windy and I know what a bbs wheel looks like so its Goodwood for me.

More likely to be Rotiform or 3SDM if it's players.

Zone turn out for the zone last year was dire... This year, its going to be worse unfortunately. Alot of the regulars have sold up, cant be bothered or listened to everyone else and stripped their cars down too much and is now a forgotten project.

Players, from what I can gather is a bit 'slammed' for the regular zone members that actively post, and not very advertised. Bet its a good show still...

Either way, I bet its gonna pish it down regardless which will mean both shows will be empty.

Dont think i'm going to making Santa Pod this year now either

it should never be held in September . July or August would be much better for decent weather .

The pod was held in July once but it was no busier so its gone back to September

As for players, I'm going this year but next year I'll be back at the pod.

Players will be full of vw fan boys with skinny jeans , expensive hair styles and their mum's polo with £1k wheels.

Don't get me wrong I love some of the cars there but last time I went I left hating the dub scene.

You forgot stickerbombed panels and linglong tyres which are stupidly stretched onto these expensive wheels

Like you, I'm really going off it.
I'm only going to support the guys / mates that are taking their nice cars there

After much research over the internet and going to my good old friend 'google' i must admit i have come across much more about the pod then i have come across players.

browsing through different forums and seeing many more pictures of the pod with all sorts of bmw's old and new.

I guess for me this year although it is more likely to be a wet one, I will take her out and check it out. The joys of just walking around in field with a 1/4 mile strip full of old and new bmw's getting to meet a few of you guys id say would put a smile to my sunday.

I must admit i do like my oem retro standard generic look however appreciate the new modern technology which some of the guys have applied to our old loved chariots i.e. air ride, new interior, ac, hids. and so on I honestly dont mind it think it adds a touch of modern class to the car and gives it a new look in some ways however whenever turning eyes back to my oem look i fall back in love all over again so its deffo something that really does not bother me.

everybody love your cars and do whatever the hell you want to do with them my advice to all is do what you love and that's that.
