Went over today and it was FANTASTIC, The weather was great and the cars were gorgeous. Absolutely loved the motors , well done to all the owners , looks like alot of care goes into looking after their cars. I spent the day walking around with a permanant smile on my face seeing all those cars and when they started up the motors, nearly brought a tear , i really want one now, pity i dont have anywhere for one:( , maybe when i'm retired i'll be lucky enough to get my hands on Mustang or 2.

really enjoyed it, despite the fact i got there around 3:30 ....i think i must have missed the "cars of the stars" guys as there was no KITT, smokey or starsky and hutch....did they go early or were they there at all?

have LOADS of pictures which i'll post as soon as i get them onto flickr.
