Mosney Show...

Show and Event season is well underway now, and almost every weekend there is something going on, but I tend to be pretty selective in what I attend, when i get the time. Mosney Classic show is one of the longest running, so I thought I'd go this year in the '86 for the fun. Some really great cars were on show, and plenty of old-school cool Jap metal, but I do have to say the show was VERY poorly laid out and planned, not to mention expensive! All this means it's off my list for next year it seems. Though the fun we all had together as club members once we eventually all got parked up, certainly made it a good day! Here's some photos from the day...

One of the best parts of course is the roadtrip / drive...
My overall car of show had to be this stunning Opel Ascona!!
However I ended up spening most of my day around Japanese
...namely Toyotas at that. I was there with the Club in AE86!
My friend's Awsome Levin and KE70 Corolla, cool cars!
The Starlet crew were well represented, I love KP's!
Finally a quick shot of my own AE86 from the day...
So overall it wasn't bad, but certainly wasn't the best show I've been to, so hopefully it was just a one off and the rest of the season is alot better. However I was interested in the attention to detail at the classic shows, and special interest from 'different' style of people. This weekend will be a 'quiet' one and away from cars thankfully. We all need a break. But its all go,go,go from then, with some busy times ahead. The end of this month will be VERY busy, so no doubt I will update, when I get a chance. July is proving to be a 'classic/nostalgic' time, so it should be fun...Waringstown Car meet, AOVC Classic show, Kilbroney show, and then back to drift events! After that the AE86 is going off the road for her big yearly overhaul, lots of new parts / servicing, and Tax/MOT test! More blogging soon!
