    LRM land rover max moved to stoneleigh in august bank holiday?

    stoneleigh used to have the town and country on that weekend and until recent years when the show went downhill was well supported in numbers,so in my opinion this might turn out to be a shrude move as its a very central venue which i think the land rover community will give it a go and also i...
