Holton Lee, Poole, Dorset was the awesome new venue for the Holton Classic, organised by the Canford Classic peeps. Set in part of the massive 350 acre nature reserve, it has to be one of the most amazing places in the south to hold a VW show.

Hundreds of gorgeous vdubs and Porsche cruised into the show, one of the most noticeable groups were Viking's Mizfits lead by Viking himself, in his new toy...a crew cab bay pickup. Viking's Mizfits had cruised along the M27 on there way to the show...sure to become a regular warm-up to our Holton Classic show.

Spirit of Air and Waterside vdub clubs turned up in force again...including the Herbie replica. Everyone loved the new venue, so keep your eyes on www.jcevents.co.uk for next Spring's show dates.
