The British summer is a strange beast, a few weeks ago it was lovely and hot, then it started raining.  It chose this weekend just gone to do both.  Which is a little vexing as it is what could be described as the first big weekend of the summer in terms of shows.  The three headline events are the Classic Ford Show, NSRA Billing Fun Run and the Stonor Park VW show.  As well as those three there was at least one Mini event in Bristol and Mersea Motor Madness.  Further afield the motor sports season has well and truly kicked off, any weekend from now until the end of September could see you checking out some cool racing at nearby circuits.  If you weren't out and about this weekend then make sure you stick some dates in your diary and get to some shows or motor sports this year, there is nothing like a great day out at an event to encourage you to get on with your car!

By way of encouragement have a little slice of what went on the UK this weekend.  If you are reading from across the sea (in any direction), make sure you get a UK show in your calendar for next year, they are worth the trip.
