The British Motor Show Pop Up Event at Marshall BMW & Mini Salisbury


The British Motor Show held a pop up event at Marshall BMW and Mini in Salisbury.

The event was used to promote the upcoming British Motor Show and for people to bring along their motors to display them.
There was a lot going on from free barbeque and drinks to Scalextric, a Sega Rally arcade game and a British Motor Show Play Your Cards Right with prizes to be won.
Sam Hard was in attendance representing Petrolhedonisim as they have a stage at The British Motor Show. 
Factory Five Racing's UK team brought a couple of impressive cars and Classic Coachwork bought some of their cars. I will be doing Blog Posts on both of these later in the year.
To top the day off, Tim Shaw from Car SOS was taking time to speak to people about all things cars.

Below are my photos from the event.

This was a great event with lots going on. It was good to see Sam again as I've known him for a while, his enthusiasm for all things cars never tires. It was also great to meet Andy from the British Motor Show, Belinda from Classic Coachworks, Dan from Factory Five Racing and the top chap that is Tim Shaw.
What was presented at Marshall BWM and Mini was a snippet of what will be going on at the British Motor show, it's looking to be one of the best shows of the Summer, it takes place from 17-20 of August at Farnborough International Exhibition Centre.

I attended the 17th Hayling Reunion out by the sea hosted by the Victory Wheeelers at the Funlands Park in Hayling Island.
The Victory Wheelers were founded in 1977, based in the south coast of England and have since become a massive club that is dedicated to all things custom car and bikes, hot rods, rat rods, classic and muscle car.
The day was overcast but soon became sunny,  people turning up in droves to appreciate a wide range spectacular cars.
