Considering my car didn't make it I actualy really enjoyed it today!

Was awesome raping my brothers 106xsi round the track. Felt like a track day in the morning for the open pit track session then looked round the stands in the afternoon which kept me busy. Normally I'm bored by midday tbh!

Ive been to all but one in around 2005/2006 and I thought the show itself was the worst so far.

Stands were putting in all there effort to make it as good as it could be, but let down by the planning IMO.

I have decided that I won't be going back which has hurt me alot but I can't put up with it going any further down for me I will remember it for what it was :)

Um bongo!!!!!!!!



"Way down deep in the middle of the Congo, a hippo took an apricot, a guava and a mango. He stuck it with the others, and he danced a dainty tango.

The rhino said, "I know, we'll call it Um Bongo", Um Bongo, Um Bongo, They drink it in the Congo.

The python picked the passion fruit, the marmoset the mandarin. The parrot painted packets, that the whole caboodle landed in.

So when it comes to sun and fun and goodness in the jungle, They all prefer the sunny funny one they call Um Bongo!"

3rd year i've been.

Show is getting smaller, alot more trade stands - dodo juice stand was epic good to get some advice from the guys themselves rather than everyone following on here.

The show itself was the usual, needs to have more i was bored and had looked around the show by 12. The weather didn't help, if it was warmer i would of watched track alot longer.

Quality of saxos imo was poor, most of them had bad paintwork and didn't even look like they had been polished, there were obviously a few that were up to scratch. Most had exhausts that were hanging so low it made me want to get under and sort them out. When reading progress threads on here the cars look mint seeing them in the flesh makes you think twice, i should of entered mine into show and shine never thought i would of had a chance until now.

Heads up to the girl in the clio sport with a yozza full of win..

4th year in a row

stand was right on the far side for us and was all overgrown, 3 of us moved into the middle

food was overpriced and shit

marshalls where rubbish, got there at half 7 had a kid that was like 5 directing us in and didnt have a clue where we was, "not the kids fault i know"

weather was crap, windy as fook, then hot then cold then windy again then hot then cold,

top 25 was good, some nice cars on there, and pug1off stand had some tidy motors

free dodgems was a bonus, however my dodgem broke down in the middle and i proceeded to get battered

drifting was worth a gandres, v8 engine in the nissan sounded the tits on full beans best noise of the day

track action was ok, red 106 gti going round think was supercharged or something was pretty rapid

most annoying thing for me is the fact its called french car show and yet, in the areana where the clubs where, was the following i spotted

about 6 bmw
various german passats, golfs, fabias
there was an old school mini
a mazda rx7
lancia delta
mistubushi evo 4

now why are they there for are they french????? no, i know for a fact if your was to rockup to japfest e38 and it wasnt the right car from the right country you would get told to fook of and park in the main car park.

for me 08/09 was ok 10 was best year for me as car was fianlly how i wanted. 11 worst one so far

its a shame to say will be my last one, saxo is going at the end of the year anyway

Lonely housewives ftw?


Also agree with rootyboy entirely. I only go to the shows for banter and to meet up with everyone but wasn't that impressed this year. Just seemed a bit badly organised by the rockingham people. Also need to move away from rockingham if they are going to keep the FCS thing alive. Its shit from a car show perspective.

Also when you have a hangover and 2 hours sleep, the woman with the whiney voice begins to grate on you.

French car show should only allow french cars on the stands. Completely agree.

My second time going, I'm sure there was more there last year, or is that just me? I enjoyed it overall though, was worth going IMO.

Stocked up on car cleaning stuff, was gutted about missing out on the 106 GTi interior that was going cheap, they only had the rear bench left when I got there. Would have loved a go on the dodgems but never got a chance, and didn't fancy queuing up. Shame about the weather as well, didn't get as many pictures because of it

Would have liked to have spoken to more people but there were never that many there or they were all in groups.

Bad planning in the fact that the club parking was on gravel, all the cars got covered in dust. Had mine detailed for FCS although I doubt anyone noticed as it was covered in dust. As for the standard of cars well all they are all 54 reg at the latest and can't all be perfect, plus seeing that not many were perfect made me feel better about my car :)
