2024 Autofest, Omagh, Sunday 15th September 2024

2024 Autofest, Omagh, Sunday 15th September 2024 :

Autofest returned to Omagh for the 9th Edition of the extremely popular show on Sunday 15th September 2024.

This year’s event was run in support of Omagh Gateway Club.

With hundreds of cars on display at the Omagh Showgrounds, the selection and quality on display was exceptional. With every genre of vehicle catered for, including a small selection of motorcycles and trucks and to a massive display of cars covering all varieties and a good selection of Owner’s Clubs all displaying some meticulously turned out vehicles.

It is a show really worth a visit, that was certainly made all the more pleasant with the sunshine making a rare appearance for this year in Northern Ireland.

A full gallery of the vehicles on display is available on the TBNI.Blog Facebook Page. Feel free to like, share and tag away at the gallery.

The route took in the Northern Irish countryside from the Sprucefield Centre, Lisburn through Dromore, towards Ballynahinch, then Rathfriland, Hilltown, Rostrevor until the finish point at Kilkeel.

Close to 100 cars made it past where I was placed and given the rather miserable weather, that is a truly exceptional turnout.

2024 Dubshed

2024 Dubshed : 6th & 7th April 20324 : Eikon Centre, Lisburn, Northern Ireland :

The show season kicked off in spectacular style at the start of the month with 2024’s edition of Dubshed. Back again at the Eikon Centre, Lisburn this year £25 got you two full days of displays and exhibitions. With a wind storm whipping up a gale on Saturday (and Sunday to an extent) having the majority of the show indoors led to a much more comfortable experience. Although it stayed dried, much to the relief I am sure of those enthusiasts who were displaying their motors outside.

By a strange twist of fate not prebooking your tickets was an advantage as the queue for prebooked customers was massive compared to those who just appeared at the door. The organisers though have already said this will be addressed next year, however that is about the only negative thing I have to say.

With 2 Halls full of cars there was plenty to look at. Hall 1 had its Dubshed focus firmly on the VW / VAG Group vehicles with everything from spotless classics to heavily modified modern vehicles, the standard of car on display was exceptional.

Hall 2 then took on the rest of the motoring world with everything from hypercars, supercars, JDM, drift machines and American marques all well represented.

Coming Soon – The Ultimate Car Clean

So I love cleaning my car, and I always do a thorough Spring Clean ever year, actually a couple of times a year.  This year, as I now have a garage I have decided to do an epic clean.  I reckon it will take four separate sittings, but unlike those crazy detailing sessions you see I prove myself in the fact that anyone who has the time can do one of my ‘Spring Cleans.’  So when I have done it I will post up the full process here along with the products used so you can all have a go yourself!

This one probably won’t be completed for a week or two though!
