Continuing on from my last post this is the rest of the Classics at Glemham Car Show. The show had food and drink but like most of the shows now days the costs were expensive. I doubt this is greed of the vendor, from what I have heard the organisers of the events charge silly amounts for the pitch. The vendors are forced to cover their costs. The organisers are now starting to charge significant amounts of money for the owners of these cars to attend the shows. It’s getting to the point where I’m starting to choose quite carefully what shows I attend. However the money goes to a charity then I don’t have a problem. But, just to make money from the car owners and let the public in for free is not on. Perhaps we need to vote with our wheels and not attend the rip off events. Let me know your thoughts if this all round the country (UK) or other countries too.
Back to the cars, after the rows of cars arranged by years of manufacture, there were super cars and general club stands.
This Lincoln was amazing and a huge car.
We eventually got back to the car for a well earned rest and quick bite to eat where we watched the world go by.
Mart’s Car Of The Show: is this wonderful Plymouth, the fins still get me every time!
A couple of the other cars started to move out early afternoon so we decided to follow suit. As we rode over the uneven fields to the dirt track for the exit we stopped of for a quick photo opportunity. I took many photos as did Craig and these are just some from the session. Many are similar but they are all different. I think we started a trend, I have seen a few Instagram posts of similar photo’s being posted similar to ours.
Craig’s photos first.
Then there are these which I took.
That completes all of my cars shows for 2025 sadly. I will find things to post about; reviews, books, memorabilia and maybe some upgrades on my little ol’ pride and joy. Thanks for staying with me during some of these recent large posts of the car shows.

Fantastic review of car shows. Very beautiful and unique vehicles. Keep up the great reporting. Thanks from the USA.
Beautiful shots of your Pony <3
We are doing more free type meet-ups ourselves. We do maybe 4 or 5 huge gatherings a year for $20 per person and their car. Yes charity but on SS charity at times is begun at home keeping all else going.
Most are on the car and driver with others walking in free, though some are now charged $5 each as attendance is now growing with all the beauties out in our area.
Vendors pay absorbent prices to set up a spot close to all the action and for the most part it is the car owners who shop them. Food is important but like you it is crazy 2 hot dogs and fries are usually $10 but I know they have to sell a lot to even break even. I would pay more for healthy choices 🙂 Water $3 a bottle is nuts! So I will hunt down a pretty cooler for my truck and keep fruit, cheese and meat sticks to stave off the hunger from all that walking 🙂 I also pack for Brady so lots of water and yummy treats but I have been known to buy him a burger. I will need to work full time to keep up soon then again winter is almost here with just 3 events left of size then it is time to change the oil, fix my window track and put in a new floor in the bed I bought TREX for. Have fun and stay safe!
