Anyone planning a trip to Knockhill this weekend for the motor show?

I went last year - what a load of crap and a complete waste of cash. You'll have more fun visiting your local Daewoo showroom.

Steam show at Baldo airfield this weekend, much more interesting will be there Sunday in locost if it isn't raining

Sound like the Motorshow is not worth a visit then, may try Balado instead (just looking for an excuse to take the Indy for a run)

Maybe we could make our own display of kit cars

Cheers

Not meaning to put you off Scott. Just my opinion, as I was sorely disappointed last year.

Knockhill is just not very a good exhibition venue. Very cramped, filthy and poor facilities.

I can't remember seeing one single 'interesting' car there last year.

The main attraction seemed to be a guy on track doing donut after donut after donut after donut (zzzzzzZZZZZ) in a TVR / Legend. Got very boring after the first dozen or so donuts.

I know what you mean about Terry Grant, once you've seen him once, it does become a bit boring (and believe me when I say, I've seen his shows too many times already) Now Russ Swift on the other hand is brilliant to watch over and over, pity he isn't there.

Just thought it might be a good venue for a little meeting of some local builders, but the steam show is cheaper (and a little closer for me)
