    Wow what an interesting array of cars, typical cars mainly from the 80s and 90s that have all but disappeared but the majority bring back memories and images of the past

    Lovely cars, lovely people, and as always, a lovely video. It warms my heart seeing so many XMs in one place. The car meets I found here in southern France are smaller, and I'm always the only person that shows up with an XM so it was really nice to see more than a couple in this video.
    Of course all the other cars were great too and it looks like an exceptional event. Hopefully one day I can make my way up to England to see all this in person.

    Nicely shot. These old tin boxes are special to us average Joes and Jos, and it's really nice to hear their histories and for their owners to have a platform to recount them. I covet these humble runarounds way more than classic Ferraris and Astons. It's so fun spotting the types of cars that I, family members or friends used to earn. I can't wait for RUclips smell-o-vision!

    Steph you could get away with doing maybe a two or three part episode on this one show, the amount of stuff you strolled past worthy of deeper inspection was unreal and alsorts of makes and models too. Would make epic content without question especially in the format you did it (with some owners telling us a bit about them, works brilliantly) I'd say I'm not alone in thinking this💯 aqua blue 70s Datsun (maybe a 140a? Can't remember) was identical to my next door neighbour Mr Sloan's one that I crashed up the side of on my first bmx early 80s, some meaningless info haha🤣

    I love your car shows. Such a great variety of vehicles you will never find in the States, mostly because they were not allowed to be imported. A friend visited England in 1986 and told me that I would love it, all the weekend work people did on cars, and the variety. Here in Texas, most local shows are modern American muscle cars, and the shows of my interest are often 1,000 - 2,000 miles away. Keep up the good work. You're look great, Steph!
