Maverik Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 One of the rare occasions I make an effort to visit a show, but I'll be at the LRO show this year, hanging around the Camel Trophy Owners club stand, I'll be in the Blue Disco 1 which will be mostly likely sulking at the back of the stand not to detract from the sandglow ones. Come say high if you're passing, vice versa, post up if you're going. Cheers Mav (Chris) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I'll be there with Foundry4x4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaklander Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I would have gone and will be sorry to miss you. Have a great show. We are going away on Sunday and have grandsons' birthdays to celebrate on Saturday (6 and 2). That will mainly involve a hosepipe and sprinkler I think as the weather is hot. Five boys running around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy996 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I turned up on Sunday with my Grenadier full of stuff for 4x4 Response UK and delivered it to the West Midland 4x4 Response stand. No tarring and feathering - not many comments at all, although the person directing traffic seemed to want to add me to the Defender parking. There were a lot of galvanised chassis on display from multiple companies. I was also delighted to see that bulkheads now seem to be available, albeit at a price.

They were about the same price as Galvanised and much easier to paint over. I thought it was a great show. Way bigger both in terms of trade & visitors than any in the last few years, even before Covid. The site was pretty good. If it didn't clash with Goodwood, I think it would have been even bigger. I bumped into Maverik on Friday - which was nice, but didn't see anyone else from LR4x4 I recognised. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really enjoyed the show myself too, great site, much nicer than previous in my opinion, I'm sure they'll be some learning points, but it was really well attended and I'd definitely be going back. Funny as I spent a good bit of time looking at the chassis manufacturers, good to see a bit of competition in this area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy996 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 It will be interesting to see how long Live Promotions can keep it alive without the publicity and momentum from the defunct magazine. I don't like giving the Manners family money and I am not a fan of Live Promotions, so the site conflicts me; I only live 10 miles away and have done so since 1986. It is only the third time I have visited the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I didn't get up there in the end as I've been sorting some family stuff. Seems to be some good feed back. Only bad I'd heard was people struggling for signal for card payments. Which seems like rather an oversight for the organisers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the day it was practically impossible to get a data connection. There was plenty of signal, just no bandwidth. I don't know what Live Events could do about that though.

Extra mobile towers I'd have thought. Yes its on a much larger scale, but the Great Dorset Steam Fair brings at least one in, possibly more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
