Boston's Modified Car Show 2010

Boston's Modified Car Show 2010

Boston Rural South's Neighbourhood Policing Team has teamed up with customandmodifiedcarz.co.uk to invite young car enthusiasts to a special event, being held at Boston College Rochford Campus in Skirbeck Road on Saturday 21 August.

The Boston Modified Car Show was first held last year when over 150 vehicles took part and 300 visitors attended and this year looks set to be even bigger and better.

The event is supported by the Lincs Road Safety Partnership, Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue, LIVES and Boston Borough Council and is aimed at educating young drivers into driving more responsibly. The show is being staged for the avid car enthusiast, with particular focus on young drivers, and modified car owners are being encouraged to bring their vehicles along and take part with a chance to win trophies.

In addition to family entertainment such as a street dance group, inflatables and driving games, the event will have a serious element, featuring a number of road safety demonstrations including a collision scene recreation and a Peugeot 206 car crash simulator.

There will be many trade stands offering information and advice plus the Audio Assault Car - a modified vehicle with massive speakers - and a drifting display vehicle, specially modified to drift sideways around corners. There will also be the opportunity to win driving activity days.

"We're keen to encourage as many young people to this event as possible and there'll clearly be loads going on," said Police Community Support Officer Neil Williams from the Boston South Rural Neighbourhood Policing Team.

"As well as the chance to show off your car to visitors and win prizes, there's the opportunity to soak up some road safety messages and understand the importance of driving responsibly. Last year’s show was a brilliant success and I’m sure this event has the potential to be an annual highlight in the county’s calendar”.

Entry to the car show is free and the event will run between 11am and 4pm.
