It depends what you go for? I don't think it's the same old. 

I wasn't a fan of the 2014 season at all, but I think that 2015 was really good. There's always a good selection of preserved vehicles at the Metrocentre, with it being the 'main eventer' of the North East, so to speak. Although other rallies throughout 2015 threw up some surprises too, such as 4708 being at Durham and AVK176V turning up at Seaburn.

From what I've followed through the winter, there should be a few more surprises this year, and obviously a chance for the preservation groups to present and show off their hard work.
