I'm just back from my first UK show in the van. We headed over early Thursday morning from Rosslare, landed in Pembroke and drove across Wales and England to Epsom where the convoy would meet and camp the night before the show.

Then convoy down to Brighton took over and hour and had every other car slowing to take a look as we cruised along the motorway.

We parked up and headed straight up to the main road to take a look.

As you can see I parked in front of a company who were copying classic keys. I only had the one for my van so got another cut for only £8. Well worth it!

This van once wore my wheels. The chap sold them to me when he upgraded.

Afterwards we headed up to Brighton racecourse for a session where they had a live band in the bar.

That's it.
Here's the shot I almost couldn't visualise.

Looks incredible. Never been to a show like this, hard to get your head round the numbers. What a great setting for this legendary bus meet. Thanks for posting pics.
