Chris Evans' Carfest

[mjheathcote]

What a superb event, would still be there if my little one wasn't starting school in the morning. Every car you could wish to see from 1920's 42 litre Bentley up to MC12, Veyron, Zonda etc, being hammered up the hill. Fighter jets, Lancasters, even the last Vulcan in the world. Great food, great vibe about the place, lovely family atmosphere. Definitely going next year and definitely having an SM group displaying our cars. Lovely weather too, happy days

What more can I add...excellent weekend, from within 10 minutes of entering the grounds on the saturday morning Chris Evans was driving around in a golf cart with a loud speaker "enjoy yourselves!"
dunnah01, saw your car in the carpark (assume!) on the way out, lovely.
The Vulcan, well what can you say, so moving, both myself and the Mrs had tears in our eyes!
Chris Evans so knows how to do it. He was so funny at the car auction...pushing up a few bids!

Magnificent... flying car and a vulcan flying!!! We were blessed with the big V-bomber at Bruntingthorpe a few weeks ago, a noise almost as distinguishable as the Spitfire; sort of a scream....

My video of the Vulcan.
Not the highest quality recording, my camcorder battery was flat so took the footage on an old Canon compact camera! Two clips.

Bloody ****...Thats some show....Stunnign cars....Is it me or does the MC12 look really big next to the Enzo that its based on.....Enzo looks far smaller......Big thumbs up to Chris Evans.

 

[dickygrace]

It is longer Andy, possibly about 5cm's at the most. The Enzo is a little better proportioned, the MC12 does look long. It's stunning but even though I'm a massive Maserati fan as you all know, the Enzo to me is prettier. I'd still buy the MC12 though, it's cooler, quicker and it's a Maserati! The Zonda F Roadster and the Koenigsegg CCR with full carbon fibre body shells looked stunning close up. Maybe one day.....

 

[mjheathcote]

I have to agree, the Enzo is a prettier car, especially seeing them side by side.

 

[dem maser]

same here, if i wont the lottery id buy the MC only because of the love of the marque and even rarer but the enzo is prettier

 

[Parisien]

....dreamin' guys....aint there a song about that!!!!!?????

I agree the Enzo is the better looking car.......It's a tough one...I love the MC12 but it does look a bit awkward at times and must be a nightmare to drive because its sooooooo big.....
