[design1]

Some crowd didnt expect that many .plenty nice cars especially parkd up the streets

 

[Cooper]

Fantastic turnout with some incredible cars. The 488 Pista

 

[lee-r33]

Was a good turnout but yeah place was packed by 10am lol

 

[Jamesc]

Clubs stands had to be there before 11.30 then normal cars 11.30 on and "opens" at 12. But just after 11 was told was at capacity, Though few people drove passed me seconds after being told they were full and had got in, but sort of glad in away amount of people and way some cars were piled up some weren't leaving anytime lol. Parked up the road ran round a few chats and few photos and away again.

 

[pablo]

Had a nice wee dander round. Some turnout they fitted a lot more cars in there than I thought.

 

[JT079]

late for this but managed to drive pass the street, it must be a great turn out...

 

[colin84]

Didn't get to this as I'd the kids with me, and judging by the amount of cars outside and cops about, I thought it might be too busy. It would be a decent enough spot if there had been somewhere for visitors to park.

I was surprised at how many cars they got in there today.

Was some crowd and plenty of nice metal to look at!

So with this being packed and the amount of people ,was this in everyone’s opinion safe to hold when there is a substantial rise In positive cases in n Ireland this past week.genuine question btw not being a smart hole (even though my middle girl works in the covid ward) and I understand life has to begin to move on again .

I’d say it was unlikely for guidance to be followed given the venue and seemingly unexpected turnout. That being said had the venue been better placed for overflow or if it was invitation only with the cars it would have helped the congestion.

Not an ideal situation today but certainly part of the learning curve of getting things to move on again like you say @zafturbo

I arrived with a mate just after 11 and we got in at a handy spot down the front

 

[graham8]

Took a dander round Brilliant turnout and some class motors. I’d say there will be some giving off about every street being packed with cars but who was to know What sort of turnout there would be ? I’d say In future they could fill a yard 2/3 times the size of this and then some. Good job

 

[Chris100]

I would imagine there was such as big turnout as it's pretty much been the first/only real show of the year, if it was a "normal" year and we were 4 or 5 shows in by this stage the turnout would have been much smaller.

Never bothered going up in the end myself, by the sounds of it I am pretty happy with that decision.

 

[Marc C]

Wasn’t the total sh1t show I thought it was going to be, although that’s because we got in and managed to sneak a decent spot down near the bottom.

We got there about 10:30 and the place was bunged - but as I say we got a handy enough space.

Definitely could have been doing with a better/bigger venue but it was a nice morning catching up and looking at some seriously nice motors!

 

[Gemma]

@Marc Collins nice morning?? Were you at the same place i was?? No hood nor umbrella and my hair is like an afro now

 

[TheDaniel]

Then had our own mini meet after with a few mates!

 

[Jamesc]

Didn't take alot of stuff if there was too many people about I just moved on, or went and took a photo of something less crowded.

Not necessarily weather-wise

Maybe I should have said enjoyable morning lol

car was looking super Marc, wheels are

 

[Marc C]

Thanks man, it’s getting there. Still bits I want to do but happy with it at the minute.

 

[TheDaniel]

I definitely think the lack of car shows improves the little shows there are!

Good turn out today, definitely in need of a bigger venue!

Also a straight bit of road where the fuzz can't complain about some noise would be great, out ruining the fun as usual lol

True i agree no social distance there

If you had seen the level of complaints about this show today...... from residents, about parking, noise, driving, etc........ had it not been for some “fun ruining” presence it would have been shut down by local police ...... as it was, not a single ticket written and only 3 drivers stopped and “spoken to”.......and given the driving toward a liveried police car, there could have been multiple court appearances without any doubt.....

Awkward position to be in when you’re invited, and then have to balance the enthusiasts enjoyment with residents concerns ( residents issues were well justified imho)

Site was too small due to unprecedented attendance levels, and no great or easy options for overflow parking. Kudos to Ross from Anachem for the sanitiser stations.

Not the fault of the organisers for promoting their event, nor those wanting to attend..... just as us been posted, the only option this year event wise

 

[pablo]

Police I saw were well engaged chatting and laughing with people which was excellent. I’m sure the residents went nuts alright. I got a hell of a dirty look when I got back to my car parked in the next street up.

 

[MagicRat]

I live a three minute walk from The Ferguson Centre and some of my neighbours are going buck daft about yesterday. One particular busy body feckwit is going mental, she's related to the local MLA and is vowing that no car show will ever happen again in The Ferguson Centre.

Some of the driving in residential streets was highly inappropriate and some of the parking was disgraceful. I could have filled 3 or 4 pages on the Couldn't park your finger up your hole thread. Special mention to the ballbag in the MNR Vortex who left it abandoned in Waverley Gardens blocking anyone turning in from the Manse Road.

Some of the cars parked in the streets were more interesting than about 90% of the stuff inside The Ferguson Centre. I headed passed Mac Autoparts to the biggest car park and was hugely underwhelmed. About 30-40 humdrum Audi's in the best car park, how disappointing. Up the hill at the Detailers place was good, three Ferraris, a Lambo and a McLaren, so tick in the box for the Supercars. In my opinion the best car in the show was parked up there, green Opel Kadett C Coupe with Honda running gear. Excellent car, well worth the walk from the house.

I think the policing approach was brilliant if I'm honest. Minimal presence and from what I seen officers were engaging with people, talking about their cars and generally having a laugh. Apparently a few cars were stopped on the way out (although probably no surprises there lol) but from what I understand there were no tickets or fines issued, just a bit of a 'wise up' chat.
