Post by humbucker »

The Big One! "Billing" will be back in July and ready to rock with the biggest gathering of Vauxhalls, Bedfords and Opels in the world. Over 30 clubs and 2500 vehicles make the annual pilgrimage to Billing. Featuring the biggest and best autojumble, it’s an unmissable event for anyone who owns loves all things Vauxhall, Bedford and Opel.

Be There! Tickets are usually a tenner on the gate, advance tickets from VBOA affiliated clubs attract discount for advance purchase.

The easiest routes to find Billing Aquadrome:

From the North

Either exit the M1 at Junction 15 as per the directions from the South or exit the M1 Motorway at Junction 16. Take the A45 to Northampton. Follow the signs to Billing Aquadrome for about 7 miles.

Good question, I'm not sure yet.

I was thinking I would get there early for Saturday but I could stay for the whole weekend. I'll see how things pan out.

I'll be there, hopefully in a Cav (or at least an older Vauxhall) this time. I am hoping to get out to a few meets with you guys next year.

I'll be there Sunday in Turbo #1 lurking on or around the Autobahnstormers stand. I'll also be writing a show report and taking photos for Retro Cars magazine. Looking forward to it.
