The Ultimate Car Show, was held in FG Wilsons, Larne on Sunday 27th March 2011
The Ultimate Car show is a charity event open to all makes and models of cars and trade stands. Although this is the third year that The Ultimate Car Show has been held in Larne, this is the first time that the The Rover 75 and ZT Club has attended.
A Club stand was booked and 14 members were due to attend. On the day 11 members turned up (the other 3 were unable to attend for various last minute problems). One of our members travelled for 4 hours from Co Clare to be with us. We arrived at 10.30 am, 214 other cars were already in situ and the majority of owners were beavering away cleaning and polishing up their already spotless babies.
There was something to interest everyone including live music, driving demenstrations/displays, face painting, tombola, ice cream van, candy floss machine and food stands.
I have to say that the most memorable car for me was the Rover 100 that had been customised. The passenger seat hand been removed. The carpet had been removed and replace with what I can only describe as 1970's floral design. The door card were decorated with an idilic Caribbean Island scene. The wheels were painted bright pink. Most unusual, but definately memorable. Unfortunately I didn't get a decent picture of it.
The weather was great, the sun shone most of the day (a few people managed to get sun burnt). This was another great day out with the club, and a great days craic.
We left around 4.30 and received a gift bag contain, microfibre cloths, airfresherns etc on our departure.
