There is a definate lack of information anywhere about the programme of events.


This was my biggest problem. I didn't realise that I had missed some events that I wanted to see because we arrived at a certain time.

Some did repeat however, but still... it is nice to know what is going to be on.

Aside from that, we had a great time. It was cool to see so many Land Rovers, of all shapes, sizes, colours and vintages, in the same place.

Yeh, I enjoyed seeing all the different vehicles on show. But I got more enjoyment walking around the carpark and looking at everyone elses Defenders. Kinda made my 110 look a bit sorry for itself though Big Cry

Don't get me wrong seeing some of the amazing machines was good and I got loads of ideas & spent some money, but I still thought the show was better a couple or 3 years ago even though the country was being hit by heavy down poors and flooding left right and centre.

Well I will agree with you there. I first went 2 years ago and it was brilliant. This year I felt the show was lacking the atmosphere and the land rover gear shop was pitiful. I did enjoy meeting some of you and learnt a lot from Bfrenden. Cheers for the advise.


You are welcome Russ. It was good to meet you and other forum users.

Shows are different things to different people.

From our point of view (i.e. other side of fence/stand) we had a good weekend. Hard work, met some interesting people, who had some interesting plans. Also some 'chancers' wanting 30% discount on stuff costing £14. Wonder what they would say to their boss if the boss wanted to slash their wage by 30%

Im afraid a lot of the shows attract a lot of the "Jed and his £1500.00 swamp stomper" brigade Brendon, hense them haggling and being tight arseholes...they are usually northerners like willy ekerslike Whistle

A nice set of tree sliders is worth over 20% of their vehicles most of the time.

On the Allisport stand, if a client wanders over wearing camo trousers,rigger boots, a high vis vest and a bush hat its a mad dash who can hide in the covered trailer first Thumbs Up

The amount of times weve heard.."ive got a 200tdi with over 200bhp" is astounding Shocked You cannot teach stupid people to do clever things

Only just spotted this thread.

I was there Saturday and Sunday, if anyone happened to find the GLASS stand, that was my 90 parked next to it.

See you at Stoneleigh where I will again be on the GLASS stand

or at Peterborough where I may well be on the National 4x4 Response stand....

that's if I get off my butt and actually book it Rolling Eyes MAD COW

I got the final parts to my mantec window guards, a clutch claw, various bits and bobs from mudstuff (lovely people), a new cover for my trailer and one of those lifesaver Jerry cans (it was the end of the day and I couldn't resist!).

Very restrained, I thought! Thumbs Up One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS
