Wheels Day Week 2014 - The Last?

Words & pictures: Amazosan

18th April, Dunsfold Aerodrome, Dunsfold Park, Cranleigh, Surrey.
This year marked the start of a new era for Wheels Day, as Surrey Street Rodders changed to a bigger venue, Dunsfold Park, home of the Top Gear test track, among other things.
It may also have marked the end of an era too; a footfall of approx. 18,000 people (when they expected 6,000) and poor marshaling led to traffic tailbacks lasting hours to get in; word from SSR is that the show may not continue in its present form. A shame, and in their defence not everyone suffered these problems on the day, but it certainly overshadowed a great show.

These guys were among several that decided not to endure the queues and just chilled out in a layby:
