yes i was there and the year after when it had been dry for ages and it was still a mudbath. Swore id never go again after watching teenage boys towing cars with tractors and racing back for the next victim making the mud worse. We saw one Triumph Mayflower being towed in with the towrope having ripped off the entire front valance and buumper.....

Was a glorious day there yesterday, great turnout of cars and other machinery, and a big crowd. Sun was splitting the stones.
Wouldn't fancy it today though, bit damper...

I went down yesterday. Im not a car person but jaysus it was something else. Excellent day out, the engineering on some of those steam engines was bloody phenomenal. Twas a delight for the senses. I saw the thread on here (completely by accident, don't know how tbh as im never in this forum, think it was on the frontpage) so I'd like to give a big thank you for bringing it to my attention. I'll be back next year

Yes,a great day out,twas very hot. Wonder what the weather will be like today.
Anyone know why this isnt called the Upton show anymore?

Sunday started very wet and when I arrived the road in was very muckey but it dried up just after one and people started arriving.
