Dubshed 2023

[Father Stack]

Glad I waited in the traffic. Was some lovely lovely stuff there. Great chilled out vibe too!

Was there for it opening and left shortly after 2, serious crowds when I was leaving.

Could have spent a lot longer, but it was enough for the kids without sickening them.

Standard of cars was something else, no way could I pick a favourite.

 

[stuartyvilla]

Always a superb show, queue was long to get in even and 11.35 when I arrived! Some stunning cars there today, certainly rhe best show here by far! Great to speak briefly to @Big Pimp today as well.

Just reiterating what has already been said, but the general quality of the stuff indoors was top notch it has to be said, good luck to the guys judging lol. Real nice mix of stuff even if sticking mainly to dubs.

Although can't believe I'm gonna say this, but 2 of faves were Fiat's lol. Loved the 126 in particular! Can't be many of these left..

Also, got a cheap laugh off this (well spotted @Mont)

Wut?!

Queues did look brutal when leaving but don't see why it should have been so bad as folks were directing traffic in the park areas well originally and still plenty of space. How on earth was there a bad smash?!

Actually gutted we couldn’t get in but with no end in sight we had to turn for home.

Looks amazing as always but the venue is a shambles (Eikon not dubshed). Access is completely unfit for purpose, I don’t know why they thought it was acceptable to build such a large centre with so limited access.

No criticism of the guys themselves it’s not like there are tons of options for something this size, and I’m just sore I missed out.

I think a one way system should certainly be looked at during larger events and just dump traffic in without holding. We came in via Blaris and it wasn't bad at 1245, only queued for 10 minutes at most.

Fantastic show, some serious motors there. For me, this civic was the star, exceptional, very tastefully done.

 

[DaddyCC]

@ScottL52 you can read more about it here: B20 EF Civic

 

[Chris0]

Yeah that is @EF Ian civic remember chatting about it during cars and coffee

I think my favourite was the two tone Laurel with a dark brown interior. No hope of getting a photo when I had to handcuff myself to the wee man

Grabbed some clearview off @Big Pimp and ended up with enough Haribo to last until next years show lol

Amazing

 

[Jecks]

When I was leaving the road was just open again after the smash, didn't want to rubber neck but saw a black evo and 2 other cars on the back of recovery. Looked pretty high impact.

 

[soupz]

I queued for nearly an hour, surely bound to be a way of getting 2 entrances open? But nice to be back out at a show again after winter hibernation. Cars inside were of great quality as always, although a lot of the stuff outside shouldn't be allowed past the gate. Didn't bother with the camera this year so just few randoms from the phone...

 

[slammed dub]

Only my car was in the show I would have likely turned in the queue of traffic. Alot of thought needs put into sorting this next year. Can't understand why all the traffic was being forced into the same side of the carpark on the left when the right side was completely empty. Surely use both sides and let the traffic move faster.

Anyways other than that I really enjoyed the show, very high standard of motors and a good variety, from the completely standard to the heavily modified.

I liked the fact that everyone got the opportunity to show of their cars outside regardless of style or budget.

 

[AidanMcG]

After hearing these traffic stories, glad I made the decision to take advantage of owning a VAG car to get in early (11am and at that time, there was already 3 rows of cars parked) and also to get a chance of getting around a lot of the stuff with the camera before the crowds arrived.

 

[stuartyvilla]

A few more pics from me. Thought the purple on the Toledo and the MK3 was gorgeous, is it called Mulberry?

Wut?!

There was a load of absolute scrap sitting around where that Passat was

 

[mikerd4]

I swear there are pics of cars inside that I didn't see in 4 hrs yesterday.
Absolutely no traffic when I got there yesterday there was no traffic but that was at opening.
If I could offer any feedback I'd say to have a separate line for people who pre bought tickets. Wasn't till near the entrance did the staff say pre bought go here etc. But that's the eikin staff nothing to do with the organisers

Well done on the prize, was well deserved, serious amount of work done there. Good talking to you, glad you stopped me as it never clicked with me who you were coming towards me.

Was looking round the van afterwards, and heard someone comment, "not a Vauxhall engine in that anyway", couldn't help myself and correct him, but that just left him more confused.

 

[Mont]

The quality of cars inside just keeps getting better, it was great to see a mixed variety of makes and styles of mods.

How do these guys always seem to get dry days?! People would be wise to plan their wedding day for a GTI NI show day if they want a guaranteed dry one.

I can’t even remember all the cars I liked. Surprisingly there was a grey Clio which I thought was amazing looking. That purple Toledo was really nice too. Loved the wee Fiat Uno. @Reno_LV ’s S2000 and @EF Ian ‘a Civic are always perfect in my eyes, that old 6-Series(?), the Nogaro blue B5 S4, @Zach57 ’s GR, @carmad. ‘s Ha and the green Supra. Plenty more I know I’ve forgotten.

We arrived not long after 12 and getting in and out was the only real criticism I had. As already said the queue to get in was random. One long queue then a seperate one where people seemed to be just walking in. Wasn’t sure if that was people attending both days or what as no signs. We’d pre-paid but didn’t really see any advantage over turning up and paying in.

When heading home we were so glad we arrived at the start. Traffic getting in around half2/3 looked mental.

Absolutely class day. Amazing cars. Got speaking to lots of people and drove the woman insane but didn't get talking to everyone I wanted to. Got some cleaning stuff from Sam's Detailing and a toastie from the cafe, well enjoyed it.

Always enjoy dubshed, too many epic cars to mention. Didn't take as many photo as other years, mostly down to too many people in front of them but just enjoyed getting a walk round.

My car of the show was the Blue R33. Absolutely fell in love with it. My mate got his RBd S15 in and there was lots of class Jap stuff...but I've definitely got a massive appreciation for older German stuff. Not all the fussed on the newer stuff like the outside stuff, but some stunners indoors.

Here's some photo spam from today
