simply too much to like there.

the triumph 2000 is great, as is the chevette, the polo, and the passat.

i like them all!

[Keefy]

cool pics. i had an idea to head down myself today, but didnt have the car. Looks like the same old cars that are there every year, not that much new?

[slater]

There were a few motors the that i had'nt seen before like tha capri and the GTO but ive only been a couple of times so maybe they have been before.

I thought it was a relly good show, Attendance was higher than last year and seemed like a good showing from all types of car/bike etc. Not a Hot rod / custom show by any means (athough no one told the people handing out the trophys. If it didnt cost atleast 30K you aint getting one!)

That lowlight Minor convert is incredibly cool... I like a lot. ;D

The Caddy and the Polo look a little too contrived for me, trying a bit too hard. That said, it's always interesting to see what the VW scene are getting up to though, as they're usually one of the most inventive. ;D

Good pics guys, I won't even have time to look at mine 'til thursday!

All the same cars as usual PLUS a load more. Thought it was nice to see the late-model Skylines etc too, even though not really my bag.

I thought the Polo was trying a tad hard (the Caddy too), but it was worth it for the looks on the faces of the general public! It was interesting that near-stock late model VWs (and STANDARD late-model BMWs!) got on the showfield, but my modified Sierra HAD to go in the car park.... Not that I wanted to show it, but I don't get the criteria! Don't get me started on PT Cruisers....

The judging? WTF do they judge, the owner's bank statements?

Ain't no Bob Falfa clone, his had radiused rear arches and was caged ;D

Lowlight Minor is just superb! The perfect example of a lightly messed about with Minor.

'55 is tough too. Love them when they look like that

[Davenger]

Nice to see "Capri or not capri" and "Pie wagon" out and about.
Not seen them in ages. Pretty sure Pie wagon resides in Brightlingsea and Capri or not capri belongs to my mates uncle.
I almost miss Essex.........






..............Almost ;D

Those pics are making me get wet at the mouth, for CARS. Good selection of motors the Capri looks fantastic.

Let Nessie know your problems, so that we can try to improve for next year. If Sniper or I had have been giving out the entry numbers you'd have been on the showfield.

"A massive thank you to the oldskool club for their reliable help making the Mersea Motor Madness show a success. You guy's are there, helping and working your socks off, every year and as always can be counted on.

I know your cars took a slagging off on another thread about the drayton showfield. Hope this puts some perspective on the subjest and provides proof of what you put back into the scene. Futur rodding is in good hands!! Cheers guy's "
