The first ever Bournemouth Wheels Festival rolled into town over the Bank Holiday weekend from Saturday, May 24th to Monday, May 26th.
Our Senior Sales Consultant Gary Berendt, who is car mad, also made his way down with some friends.
Highlights included the first ever attempt to jump Bournemouth Pier, Monster Trucks on the beach, BMX stunts, vintage car parades, a cycle event through Bournemouth town centre and supercars, as well as a fireworks display and wheels-themed music from live bands.
It has been such a resounding success that it will return again next year, organisers have already confirmed.
More than half a million people attended the Bank Holiday occasion, spending £9 million in the town centre.
And those behind the event hope that it will go on to emulate the ever-popular Air Festival, which takes place each August and last year drew record-breaking crowds.
Bournemouth Borough Council Leader, John Beesley confirmed that plans are already in place for next year.
