Max Power Reunion - Staffordshire Show Ground 23rd July

Post by Wellsy » Tue Jul 18, 2023 1:55 pm

Hi all,

Who remembers Max Power, I was 18 when Max Power started so was my go to Car Mag for many years and it actually ran from 1993 to 2011. I'm going to the Max Power Reunion at the Staffordshire Show Ground on Sunday 23rd July.
I'm going to be on the #Helscarcult display area, along with an Alpina E21. I'll share some pics when I see it up close.

Pity I’m not closer I could do with a laugh

Lots of brightly coloured fwd base models with lots of plastic hung on at any angle running on massive wheels they don’t have the torque to turn. How hilarious

What could be better than a bright yellow Vauxhall Nova with an oversize chrome half cage and a 15" subwoofer in the boot!

Hi all,

Been on Holiday since the day after Max Power so not had a chance to see these messages. Yeah its one of those shows, wouldn't be to everyone's taste but we had a good laugh. The Weather Saturday for the set up was terrible, literally rained all day. Cleared up over night and by 10am when show opened it was actually quite nice. Everything dried out and we ended up having a really nice day.
I was on the Helscarcult stand, as I am part of the Instagram Team, working with Helen and a few others. Also had AdamC join our stand for a few hours.
Few Pics below of our stand and the Clio Dimma mentioned above.
