Sunday morning rose with a glaring sun and heat to match, it was hot,hot,hot....9 am and looking across the
public car park it was going to be busy going by the amount of vehicles already parked up. Better get my
finger out then and clean the car. Even in the shade of the caravan it was hard and hot work, half way
through cleaning I was asked to take the car down as it was getting full and the organisers had said that any
spaces on the AACI stand would be filled up with other cars if we didn't get down there sharpish. So onto the
stand I duly went and finished the cleaning there.( 10 am and it was already full wow) It was so full that any
exhibitors arriving after 10:30 am couldn't get in and were forced to park up in a specially designated area
near the entrance. There were some tasty motors in there as well they even used the entrance road to the
campsite as an impromptu show area.
After finishing cleaning it was time for some liquid refreshment and food and then hit the showfield again for a
good look round.

A quick look round the vendors stalls and then a look round
the bikes. One of the good things about this show is the
diversity if vehicles from classic and modern yanks,hot rods
bikes motor homes big rigs and british classic's it has it all.
Custom Chop was very nicely done
