This year, we are going to spend our annual holiday in the UK, Weston Super Mare is the place we will be during the first two weeks of July.
Any Third Gen. related places, events, stores etc. worth visiting while we're there?

 

Well, it seems not much third gen activities in the UK going on these days....

Any other car shows etc. worth visiting while we're there?

 

Yeah there isnt much happening in uk, heres a few shows:

http://www.american-auto-club.co.uk/aac_events/

just google for some, but its mostly jap cars here.

 

Thanks,
This Americana International event in July near Nottingham looks well worth a visit, although maybe a bit far away from Weston Super Mare...???

Edit: it's a 3 hour drive, that's too far with a child of 5 in the car, maybe some other time..!!

 

Hi, I used to be from Weston Super Mare, there used to be a tuesday cruise on first tuesday of the month down at the sea front but people rarely turned up and it doesnt run that much anymore

but i would like to ask out of all the places in england you could visit, why weston super mare, it hasnt got alot going for it now the piers gone

 

@ Danus,
We're actually in Kewstoke, just north of WSM.
We like the atmosphere in that area, we've been there several times before.
We intend to visit many places like Bristol, Bath, Glastonbury, Cheddar, etc.
With a 5 year old son, there's lots to do for him, sea, sand, Brean, several animal farms, Wookey Hole etc. etc.
We just love to come to England, last year we went to Scarborough, it was great there!
My father was captain on a 50's Dutch coastal vessel ( one of the "Little Grey Devils"), and I remember sailing to England in the sixties very well, I guess my interest has started back in that time, and it never went away.
And not to forget, with the rise of the Euro against the GBP, is has become less expensive for us to come to the UK.....!

 

ah yeh im familier with kewstoke, cute little village type place, i suppose when you out it like that, that does sound fun. i forget about all the activities i used to do around somerset when i was younger. Have fun guys!

 

I can't recommend much in WSM but the motor museum in Beaulieu (near to Southampton) might interest you. Nothing particularly American about it but a great place for a 5 year old to visit. I really enjoyed my day out there with the family and the New Forest is a lovely place to see wild animals.

The Travellodge in Lyndhurst do deals for something like £30 a room if you feel like stopping overnight.

 

hi there, i live in weston super mare,would be good to meet you one eve,are you bringing your car over??

there are quite alot of shows going on round that time will find out for you

cheers
graham

 

graham are you familiar with the cruise last tuesday of te month at tropicana?

if not get along to it, its a laugh

7pm last tusday of everymonth tropicana

 

Graham,

I will not bring my Firebird with me, to unpractical with a wife and 5 year old son+ lugage....!
Instead we will travel in a better suited car, which will be very unfamiliar to you, because it was never sold in the UK: A Fiat Palio Stationwagon.....
