Looks like they cancelled this year. Which is a shame. It had been arranged for Lydden Hill circuit. (Incidentally there is some drifting going on this Saturday at Lydden hill so I might just go along to that!)
It would be good at Lydden hill the bgp performance show was a good indication of what is possible at the venue. Sadly last year ModdedUK was a bit disorganised and I heard quite a few complaints from visitors and traders. Its a shame because it is a brilliant show and has done a lot for the modding scene in Kent.
I think the Hop Farm would be a good venue - we had our own event there last year. There is no shortage of space with about 300 acres. There is no track though which was kind of fun to watch.

Modded UK should be at either Silverstone or Santa Pod! I've heard that Donny is actually back at Donny this year! I think that's quite soon as well. Jap Show finale is October 5th at 'the pod'. I shall be at that.
Waynne, are there any plans for a TorqueCars show again? Maybe next year? | |

The problem with shows in Kent is that the rest of the country will have to travel a long distance. Just imagine if Paul wanted to go! It's why half the show season is up here in Northamptonshire. | |

I'll be there on Saturday from about 2:00pm onwards - keep an eye out for me with a big camera bag!

Brands Hatch, Silverstone or Santa Pod get my vote. Silverstone should be looking for more business having lost the F1 contract... | |
