Yup.
I loved being surrounded by all things Landrover but the wife and kids
saw it all and were bored within a couple of hours, and they also love
Landrovers. I like shows, but this was just not organised as any other
show I've ever beend to. The local Dog Show fercrissakes was better
done, IMHO. ;)
I mean, what's the point of an event ring with nothing showing in it?
They had a twist-off ramp ... well whoopie ****ing doo, they only put
up about 10 vehicles all day Saturday ... People stand around
discussing what's happening, and nothing is 'cos it's happening across
the way inside the perimeter of the off-road track with no
announcements as such, no directions to anything, and no help from
marshalls. Damn poor show really, even though the Landrovers were
brill.
