The frenchquarter at the nationals (23-25th may 2014)

We at the nationals would like to invite you and your club to Peterborough showground on the 23-25th may 2014 to our brand new area the French quarter!
Get together with your club and friends in your own dedicated area the frenchquarter at the nationals.

The French quarter will be within the showground in a position where you can show your car for one or both days. Ideal if you buy a day ticket and you can’t stay all day or if you want to come for the weekend and don’t want to enter the show car competition or Top 50.
Unlike other areas ( club stands, Top 50) there is no restriction on vehicle movement so those that arrive on a day ticket after 9am can still show their car and if they want to leave at 3pm they can do.
You can arrive in the Show & Shine area at any time and leave when you choose as there are no vehicle movement restrictions in this area.


You can also venture out of the French quarter and visit 1000 of other showcars in the mixed clubs,vag,jappower,the top50 or see our custom and hot rod show! in the barn with live bands!, theres also the large trade area inside and outside the hall,top25 in the hall and the live display area (tba).

But when the days over this show carries on into the night! With 3 rooms over 2 nights plus the adrenalin Funfair with Dodgems – (Always a firm Favorite), night market, Bars & Food, there is something for everyone at this year’s event.

Thanks Yorkie, this looks good and local enough for a looksee..

I think we should show a nice selection of XMs and show the audience some proper French cars!

Sounds like a possible Go-er.

Make sure you remind us nearer the date and make some some space...an XM is a bit bigger than a Saxo...

:D :D :D :D

A line of XM's with all the young dudes looking on thinking wtf are they, and then, all at the same time, lower the suspensions.

There you go boys, and not an adjustable coilover in sight. :lol:

I took the XM to a retro-rides meet in Sheffield earlier this year, with my friend Paul in his BX 'Hurricane'. The youngsters jaws were on the floor. Obviously I gave a demonstration of the 'air-ride' suspension as they called it. They asked what engine it had and I just couldn't help myself and explained it was powered by a 'sub nucleonic pulse plasma drive system'. :-)

Just had a look on the website... Didn't know excessively modified cars are still popular.
The xm's might just blend in a bit if they're all on their lowest setting.

I don't think there's a lot of need Richard, I reckon the XM can carry it off amongst the modded cars no problem at all and actually they're pretty low-slug compared with modern stuff even on normal setting!
