They must be, surely. They go to every event on Wirral. They would probably turn up to the opening of an envelope.

I may pop in to the park for a look whist I'm out and about this weekend as long as the lady friend does not gruble too much. Its absolutely pi**ing it down at the moment though.

Thanks Dave, yes it was a good one this year.

I missed last year's one for some reason, the last one I'd been to was in 2009.

There certainly were many really nice cars and bikes there this year although I'm not very knowledgeable about cars or motorbikes to be honest, as rail has always been my thing. It was great though to see that the people from the Ffestiniog railway had brought some track with them!

Seeing that narrow-gauge loco going up and down the short stretch of track was the highlight for me. laugh
First post here, recently just joined this forum after getting recommended to view it. I am really enjoying the content of it so far! Just came across this thread and thought i would chip in. smile

I went to this show yesterday, and it was a fab time; i am really glad the weather held off! I would have liked to see the Number 10, however i must have left before it arrived, as i was only there for the best part of the mornng just before the crowds swarmed in. I did catch a couple of quick snaps of a few Cars and Steam Motors, and a half-decent video of the Steam Motors passing by. Thought i would share this with you.

-Feel free to request the video or any of the images for me to email to you if you would like better quality rather than the WMM & Youtubes lossy compressed version.

Smashing pics. Couldn't go as it clashed with the Submariners Reunion but I got a kick out of seeing the No 10 on Duke Street, it's natural home, as I was on the way out.
Brilliant pics I couldn.t make it but seeing those pics compensated well done and thank you Paul
Yerrr cool pix and thanks for the vid well cool smile

I think it was a bit boring as it needs an Event ring for the exhibits to show the machine off smile

Bit like the traction engine rally
nice pics!
