rutthenut Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I'm heading along there Sunday to see the show and especially the rally cars. Russell Brookes should be playing in his Manta on the rally demo 'stage'. I'm hoping that the Chevy Firenza is there again this year too - sounds amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rutthenut Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 No Chevy Firenza this year. Though Russell Brookes was out in the Heat for Hire Manta 400 and Sunbeam. Also saw Ian Hill, in his GT/E (or i200) on the rally display, plus there was a Kadett GT/E giving it the beans Hope to add a few more to the set of photos, on Flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/rutthenut/sets/72157641425695604/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

400PEL Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Went on Saturday. would recommend a visit next year, getting up close to the cars , watching and hearing them on the stage was priceless. Nice to see the manta out, the delta s4 sounded awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have liked to take my own car to play around there, but guess it isn't 'Group 4 / Group B standard' so wouldn't be welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
