What to take to a car show...

Post by ragtopday Johnna »

With MINIs at the Market just around the corner, I was thinking about the essentials to take to a car show. What do you take with you to a car show?

Touch-up detailing spray and towels for those last minute bug splats or bird droppings.

Comfortable folding lawn chairs.

Bottled water/soft drinks and small snacks (non-melting and as non-messy as possible to avoid additional clean-up problems).
