Title: Weston Super Mare Pageant Of Transport 30th/31st March
Post by: danny7147 on 05, February, 2013 - 12:17:09
Signed up to this one yesterday. Voted the south's friendliest event! No booking required, just turn up. Over 1000 vehicles expected. Clubs welcome so would be good to get a couple of other C5ers going! Held on the Beach Lawns on Weston seafront. 11-5 both days, or 11-3 one day minimum  ;)

Yay = one near me!

Though I am looking at buying an MX5 this week so no idea how I'll get it there!

That's a good question... Tow it? ;-) As it stands I think we'll be doing the sunday but not the saturday as I'm working, even if you can't bring the C5 it could be worth a day out though as it's free entry etc!

Definately! I spoke to the guy who organises it and he said he hadn't seen a C5 there before... and what I love about showing one is the reaction they get from people. You can have a row of gleaming MG's, restored Rovers and military vehicles worth thousands of pounds, but 99% of people look at a C5 and say "Wow! Haven't seen one of them in YEARS!!!"... it's a crowd pleaser  8)

What makes it better is that my two are complete opposites so it doesn't just look like there's a pair of them. One is all accessories... mirrors, indicators, hi viz, horn, seat cushion, side panels... the other is completely bare and basic  :) Would be good if there are any other C5ers that fancy going though!!
