The Total Vauxhall stands offered a range of club displays for the guests to admire, as well as the Retro & Iconic Zone which allowed us to take a trip back in time.Other things to keep you entertained were the Podzilla Monster Truck and his driver Drew Thornton performance which this year made its debut demolishing not just\u00a0one but\u00a0five cars on it way through the track.One of the must do things of the day was the \u2018Drift Taxi\u2019. If you could handle the thrill of jumping into the passenger seat of a professional Vauxhall drift car, for just \u00a310 it was an experience not to be missed.Performance Vauxhall will be back next year, no doubt offering up another fun filled family day out.
