The Fast Lane Super Car show was born out of two Supercar Sundays held in Corbridge in 2008 and 2009. In three years the event grew at such pace it was only natural that the next level was to develop a bigger show called Fast Lane. 2010’s Fast Lane was fantastic; over 300 cars registered and attended the event. Fast Lane 2011 is going to be even bigger and better with more displays, more trade stands and lots of support from national car clubs this year. Seeing as it only around the corner from the Newcastle branch, the guys have decided to attend the event and set up a stand.
The event is being held on the 15th May at Tynedale Rugby Club, Corbridge, Northumberland, tickets are only £6 for adults and free for under 16’s so why not get yourself down there?

The Wheel Specialist Newcastle will be available all day to answer any questions, show you some example finishes and explain the whole process to you. This is a great chance for you to meet the guys that run The Wheel Specialist Newcastle and pick their brains. If you have scuffed alloy wheels in Newcastle this event is a must.
