Went up to Dunsfold today to help Victory Wheelers erect their gazebo for tomorrow, and had a look around, watched Bloodhound being unloaded from a curtain sided lorry with a forklift this just did not look right?

I've checked and it's 90% tarmac , 10% flat grass. Hoping my own chariot will be fully charged by the morning , otherwise its sticks for me again.

Glad we arrived at Dunsfold for 7.30am and could drive straight in, by this time some traders were in holding bays waiting for their pitches.

After stumbling over the long grass area in front of the traders I began to lose  interest in taking photos so above are just a small selection of the motors here today.

Good to meet up with a few Manky Monkeys today.

Did you know that for £10 you could have your name printed on the fin of the bloodhound record breaking car! And it stays on there forever! I paid for mine.   Grin

Back home in the warmth, with a cup if tea, and I didnt have to queue for the toilet either!!!  Was a good day, plenty to see, and plenty more people to chat to. I got your text JJ but unfortunately didn't see you. Saw Rick and Loonys parents. Arrived with myself and 2 passengers, then promptly got separated and wondered around by myself for the rest of the day!!! Catch up with you soon JJ. XX

Hi guys. Haven't been through my photographs yet, but looks like you've captured a lot of it Rick.
Met up with BayChimp, Loony, Loony's parents, Chris, (Forgotten), Tom & Tom's lady at the workshop at 9 this morning & drove over to Dunsfold in convoy.
Lots of mixed verdicts on other forums tonight about the show. Some hotrodders have reported queuing for up to 3 hours to get in, with some even being turned away at the gate. There were a lot of "straight" cars in the show field, while dozens of show worthy vehicles were left to park in the public carpark outside. Too many market stall type traders, selling non auto related tatt, horrendous queues for food & loos, hundreds of people getting in for free, (entrance was £5 for charity), by parking on the side of the entrance ways & just walking across the grass, the gate staff stopped collecting entrance money at 1pm, disorganised marshals giving conflicting information etc, etc

However, it was the first show at a new & significantly larger venue. Twice as many show cars turned up as last year. The organisers were under pressure from the Police to get vehicles off the roads & into the site as quickly as possible. Plus, it's not just a hotrod show, it's for any type of interesting wheeled vehicle. You'll never please everyone & the same people who've said they wished it was still at the old site, probably complained last year that it should be moved to somewhere bigger.
Mr BayChimp & I walked all day & still missed half the cars I've seen on other forums. We bumped into loads of friends & missed seeing just as many. I bought a few bits & pieces from the stalls. We left at 4.30 & drove more or less straight out. A very tiring day but well worth going. Hopefully "lessons will be learnt" for next year & it'll be more organised. A victim of it's own success if anything.

As Rick said, we were there early. We were in my Citroën but we parked up in a field behind Derek's Diner where Rick had been given permission to do so when he went to help shift gear for Victory Wheelers.  Like you say Andy, there were normal cars here and there in the main field as well as those PT cruisers. Why do their owners think they are "show cars" and park them in the main area. I really don't get that.

Coming in to the grounds, we sailed past Nathan who said he had been queueing for quite a while and he had a pitch to set up!

I found the vehicles once parked were very close together. Not only did this make it difficult for me to manoeuvre my scooter I also felt it prevented many people from setting up chairs and picnics by their vehicles. When people do this I think it makes a meet more sociable and makes it easier for you to find and catch up with people.

I felt like I was just going up and down the stalls and cars but missing a lot of things because of the layout i.e.  some stalls facing the grass, some facing the runway.

Like you said Andy, it is the first time at this site and you learn from it particularly the logistic side of it. We also have to remember the SSRs are not a big group members wise so to put on a show this size and in a new venue, is no mean feat.

We left about 2ish, which is the earliest I have left the show, earlier even than when it has rained. I'm glad I went but overall I felt the show lacked atmosphere and it felt a bit flat.  If they have it again there next year attendees will know more about what to expect.

So well done SSRs. I hope tomorrow you all get to put your feet up.

Left Farnham in the bus at 8.00 arrived and started to que at 8.35 on the show field after about 10 mins queuing not bad really.
Needed more marshals directing the cars and sorting out the s**tters,
I liked the variation of the cars on the show field but think there should be a cut off date say 1984

I had a good day, the journey home was worse up to Guildford I expect that will be blamed on the SSR unfairly.

Manky   well put... a victim of its own success.
To all the people that slat the Surrey Street rodders.......Put on your own show see how difficult it is.
