used to be good when you could get in the classic car show as well, last year you only got access to TG, interesting what people think this year as i thought the content dint warrant the price last year

 I was at it last year,as a birthday treat, and thought it was pretty good except for the way the shows were timed...you came out of the track arena and had to leg it over to the other venue for the live show with the three stooges and the stunts.
I would like to have gone again this year,but I spent the money to go to the Singapore F1 instead.And now I have less money than a Greek peasant. :P

We got access to the CC show last year,but it was close to closing time,so maybe they took pity on us. :smiley:

Was a decent day :happy2: I think the live show was better than last year but the exhibition seemed smaller.

For me is was also a road trip. The 200 mile round trip was fun in the GTI. Also not been to the NEC for about 10 years so was good to get up there.

Will get some pics up tomorrow.

Just come back from todays show. The show itself was brilliant, but the stalls beforehand were a tad dull. I felt sorry for the woman in the Legal claims/ambulance chasers stall. I dont think anyone visited it the whole time i was there.

Just got home too. Had a great day. The exhibition was a little bit of a let down but there were some nice cars to look at.

Live show was entertaining  :popcornsoda:
