Do you think red was a popular colour in the 90s

Great pictures, now sad I didn't make it
 p.s. as a matter of interest, was there still the option [at a nominal cost] of a drive [blast  ] around part of the Aston Martin test-track, which was available the last time I was there?  Thanks.

One of the reasons it looked like there were less atendees than last year is that the concourse and show and shine was held on the Saturday. So that had a bearing on numbers

True - my thoughts are because you shift down and left for a first gear, it looks like a "dog-leg" (I did just look at my dogs rear leg to confirm) You know what I never questioned it either, I don't even remember where I picked it up, but have always called it that! |

That's a bit far to explain the 'dog-leg' box isn't it DT ??

Show was pretty good, seemed to be down on numbers from last year but can only assume and put it down to the weather as it was hit and miss for sunday. There was a decent selection of cars and the general vibe and atmosphere was good. Best stand by far on the day was Custom Cars with an excellent show of crème de la crème cars and variety on display.
Roll on next year.  Custom Cars:                                               Rest of the show:                                                                            |
