Doncaster Custom Car Show is one of the longest standing and
probably the best car show in the UK. For over 25 years this
show has brought us all of the latest creations and developments
in the modifying world, all at Doncaster RaceCourse. This
year has seen the show go 'On Tour', enabling people from
all over the UK experience what a 'Donny Show' is all about.
This customary Donny Show was back in April, and what a great
weekend it was. It's now middle of August, and the show's
organisers 'Live Promotions' are taking the show down south,
North Weald Airfield, Essex, to be precise. After being offered
a place in the 'Web Village' and spaces in the 'Hot Hatch'
section, it was just a question of finding cars to make the
journey down to just outside the M25.
In the end it didn't end up being too difficult a task, and
the prospect of checking out cruising down south was also
an added incentive. Having to set off at 3.45am Saturday morning
wasn't particularly pleasant prospect however. Red Bull, Pro
Plus and nicotine here we come.
After picking up Ric_Maroo in Bury, it was onto Hartshead
Moor to meet EvilClio and Ben with the Mini, who was having
his car on the FAST
CAR stand. Next stop was Tibshelf to meet Alan with the
Bravo. By this time people were looking bleary eyed, but it
wasn't too much farther. Just one run now down to the M25
and up the M11.
Just after 8am we arrived at the airfield, surrounded by thick
fog. Wasn't quite the weather we were expecting, but we were
assured the sunshine would soon be out. After meeting Phil
and Spencer who had made the journey the night before from
Hull, we were ready to get the cars in and set up.
The show didn't look like it was going
to be that busy at first, as there was plenty of spare room
around the site. With this in mind, we placed all of our cars
in the one spot, and set up our two gazebos. We were placed
next to CRUISEQUEST
and JUSTCRUIZIN
in the Web Village, who had brought along some of their motors
too. Bit nearer to home for them though!
