I was hoping to arrange something different for this date (big secret lol) but I couldn't get arranged parking at the venue on this day

 

So....... I was up town today and someone left a leaflet for this event under my windscreen wiper

 

Runway Display

Stafford Car Show

The car show offering visitors a diverse range of events and displays to view or participate in. Runway Display is located in Stafford on a former airfield with 5.5 Acres of tarmac to accommodate thousands of cars ranging from modern Super Cars to Retro and Classic rarities!

 

Highlights include a 4x4 Off Road course, Rally track and Stunt drive experience! Children need not be left out as there will be a Bouncy Castle and other rides to keep them occupied.

Cost is £3.00 to exhibit - and apparently there are discounts for car clubs

 

This looks like a fun day out - As it is close to me I am going to display my car anyway even if just as an individual (looks like they have lots of space so we can still get in)

 

Is anyone else interested in joining me and waving the 300ZX banner?

 

Obviously I need to move pretty quick on this one so no dawdling now lol

 

Convoy meeting point for those heading M6 south - J17 Sandbach Services. Anyone heading M6 North - there is an industrial estate near M6 J14 we can meet up with you

I'm gona come with the family so won't be able to bring the zed unfortunately.

Now that's a shame as if you brought the family in the Zed you would all get in for the cost of a fiver :tongue_smilie:

 

It's open to the public 10am-4pm mate

 

Rich

The baby is only 4 months so don't wana put him in the zed just yet, don't think the baby seat would fit anyway. Will see you all tomorrow.

don't think the baby seat would fit anyway

 

Think you are probably right there!

 

See you tomorrow

Well the reprobates are back from the Runway Display Car show great weather nice cars and great company should be a nice show as it gets bigger all on tarmac too

More pics:biggrin:

I forgot to charge my DSLR camera batteries and it was too late when I discovered this morning they were flay.

 

So unfortunately these were grabbed on my phone

 

OK here's the nnes of our cars first....

some more

few more

Last few .... and something I spotted on the way home lol

This was the first time they have held this event. The flavour of car was a little different than other classic car shows I have been to - with more emphasis on sports cars and modern cars

 

I grabbed a few pics of anything that caught my attention so here are the non Z ones

 

I hope you enjoy them

 

 

 

 

Now I did spot this Lotus Elise... made me wonder if Funkysi owned an Elise would it look anything like this :clown:

Some other cars that caught my eye....

more

I've always fancied owning an AC Cobra like the one above.... bet they are fun to drive!

 

OK some more general pics....

 

The Reanult ALpine GTA V6 Turbo is quite a rare beast these days I think you will agree - it was nice to see one at the show

ok some more

 

This Lancia was an striking looking car and causing some interest

Looks a great day out - thanks for sharing mate!!

 

Club banners did us proud once again too...... Oh and that Elise was an absolute abomination....:rofl:

Ian Greenfield was explaining why everything on the Elise was 'necessary'

 

OK got a few more - hope you are enjoying them

forgot the attachments lol

 

Inc My second spotted Morgan Aero 8 in one week!!

And the last few....

 

As you can see this was somewhat different from the usual classic car show

 

Probably more suited to the petrol head and also the younger drivers who are into the hot hatch scene as there were a lot of custom/modern cars on show

 

However it was an enjoyable day. Hopefully the organisers will pick up on a few points - the venue (disused air strip) was the ideal venue for this sort of showw and if they can get an even better attendance next year it could become a more major event.

Nice pics Rich. The event was good for a first attempt. Would've liked to have seen more classics there but the venue was great. Sorry I didn't have time to speak to you guys much but was trying to keep Harry occupied & was queuing for food for about half an hour. Will be in the zed next time.

Well its late in the day most of the cars and crowd have gone home we are left with 3 zeds and an empty runway.......hmmmmmm what do you think happened next.

My little N/A didnt do a bad job lol
