    I love this show but the cost is always too steep.
    Including that child-magnet "bouncy area" I dropped 50 quid last year (before food).

    I'll be culling the numbers travelling this year.

    I went yesterday, and don't think I'll be going again despite the lovely things on display. Too expensive, insane traffic and queues for everything.

    The traffic really was insane. Terenure is such a pain of a location. Though I knew to park 5 mins away and not get lazy and try to get closer.

    Ultimately, it was a brilliant show, just the sunshine meant huge numbers. Other years it's poured rain and there's no stretch on resources.

    That's the Irish weather for ya.

    we got in early, traffic wasn't too bad. I couldn't believe the queues to get in when we were leaving around 2pm.

    Yep it's an "early for everything" type of show imo. Get in early, get the coffee in early, get the lunch in early etc.. Great show though, some organisation and almost too many cars. I was there for around 3 and a half hours and didn't see everything.

    Some of the club setups were fantastic, the Mercs were insanely good I thought.

    Great show for Ireland tbh, I doubt there are many better across the water.

    Bigger ≠ better. I don't think having even more cars would have made it a better show than it was.

    it's hardly bad form if you have places to go and are a long way from home. I almost always leave shows before the end and have in the past had rows with the Jobsworth stewards at Terenure who think like you do. (unless you mean it was bad form they were having to queue to get out...)

    I showed a car at a UK show..we were told we couldnt leave before 4.30...we didnt mind and seemingly nobody else did either..people paid to see our cars......Its a day out not just for you...;)

    Yep, you get the clueless old bastards, dispensing their infinite knowledge, poking and prodding other peoples' property with their walking sticks.

    I've had this one several times at shows : an old guy walked up to me, and as I was toting a camera, asked if I would take a photo of his Grandson. It was easier just to take one than explain I'm not from the "Cork" Examiner. Clueless

    I have to agree with Max Headroom. The show was being advertised as being on from 11 to 6 so I found it appalling to see the amount of cars leaving early. Anyone who turned up at 4 thinking they had 2 hours to look around would have been sorely disappointed. I've brought cars to shows and I always stay till it's finished.

    The reason I don't bring the car to shows is because I can't commit to staying all day.

    Leaving at 3pm is a bit much, though they should do something to stagger the departure of 1,000 cars, many of which might have a penchant for overheating.

    We left at 5ish and I did discover the Mustangs penchant for overheating... within 30m of the gate!! 40 mins is madness to wait to get out.

    I guess some of those cars were there from 8 or 9, it's a long day to hang around in fairness. I took mine for a spin but didn't show it as I wouldn't have wanted to hang around for 9 or 10 hours. Plenty of nice metal to look at in the car park as well!!! :)
