Is it me, or has this event lost some sparkle.
I know the Covid facemasks bla bla bla will have an effect, but it's not the same. It's almost 'Sterile'
When it started as Flywheel, it had something for everyone, plane's, small race circuit, side shows with live music. Stalls selling everything etc..
Now you just wonder around looking at the vehicles and if you're lucky, someone might start their engine and rev it up.
I get the feeling that they are trying to push it upmarket, like Goodwood.
Or is it just me??
Rather nice z8

I went yesterday to my first Scramble, so I don't have any comparison.
Although I did go to the Flywheel event in 2017 and there was so much more going on with the car sprint, aero displays etc. But then I'm pretty sure the entry cost was much higher. Still it was worth it for a much more interesting day out.
The scramble was basically just a static display of cars, plus a few bikes but still a good day out after a year with so few events happening.
Spotted a fantastic M1.
And the XR2 that got sold at Matthewsons Auctions on Bangers and Cash! Lovely car, complete with twin Webers and a 4-branch exhaust manifold - probably a few other mods too given what it sold for!

I enjoyed Saturday. I took my daughter for her first time there . Having described it many times I was a little dissapointed with a lack of exhibits and workshops not open. We were lucky with excellent weather and I must admit the atmosphere did lack. Apparently there is talk of another scramble in October.
Anything is better than the nothing we’ve been dragged into.
