Cracking example. One of the best there for sure. Lovely colour as well. Very very envious! My Bongo doesn't quite cut it I'm afraid...must starting saving more!!
Personally, I was a bit disappointed with the show and shine this year. Nowehere near the calibre of vehicles of 2023. Although, there were obviously a few stand outs. For me it was summed up by a couple of chaps I heard talking to a 'marshal' asking, "Is this it????....£15 for this????". They weren't best pleased that's for sure.
@@DipstickUK Yeah I looked at the online price for a full day was £37. Bit steep I thought. Hopefully next year will be better show and shine wize. I agree watching your video they didn't have as many interesting (stand out ) vehicles showing as they did last year although that school bus was awesome. The chopped up bug with Harley Davidson power and huge $X$ buggy got my full attention last year. 👍
No!!!! It wasn't mentioned anywhere in the usual sources...or at least I couldn't find it. Think most of them travelled down in convoy on the Friday so I'd have missed it anyway due to work. Infact, had to cut the show n shine video short as was on a strict schedule as had other commitments. I almost didn't go at all BUT decided last minute to go. I preferred last years showing though.
No, the show and shine was purely for 'preferred vehicles'. They are trying to stick true to their roots from 1987. RTTS all got a bit out of hand in the past with the modified car scene and trouble it caused in Newquay...the event didn't run for a decade. This new incarnation is aimed at keeping true to the original ideals of the event/movement.
Update for the bus that was broken down, it needed a new gearbox. But I have just got back from a trip to Switzerland in it :)

Did you get any videos of the cruise this year?

Do the newer dubs have a separate show and Shine?
