ijohnston99 - 22/12/02 at 11:07 AM

I'll be there on the Saturday. Staying overnight and heading home Sunday. So up for a few beers on Sat evening too.


locodude - 22/12/02 at 11:33 AM

Looks like it's thursday for me if I go, trade day. Not too busy but still plenty of decorative action! Oh and it's easier to see the cars etc


bob - 22/12/02 at 04:50 PM

Don't need tickets Bob. Just turn up on the day, only problem is there's usually a queue. As part of the MK empire even if Martin's not going I'll use his business card and/or Letterhead as bona fide proof for entry but I've never been asked before, just sign the declaration on the form. If you're definately going thurs then I'll make one and meet you there. Bring some comfy shoes, there's a lot of walking!

you know trade day tickets are £6 more expensive than public days...


bob - 30/12/02 at 11:32 PM

No kids though


Viper - 30/12/02 at 11:39 PM

no? was last year. and you can have an msa licence from age 8...
though tradw days are usualy quieter..and the whole show is not allways open on trade days


bob - 30/12/02 at 11:56 PM

Tim,are you trying to talk me out of it


Viper - 31/12/02 at 12:07 AM

No not at all, just be aware some stuff might not be on show, last year i had an exhaust manifold to pick up and the whole short circuit show was shut till the public days so had to go back on the sat, thinking about it it might have been the year before, i have lost all track of time, this year i know the people i need to see will be there on both trade days so its not a problem for me. If there is something you particulary want to see it might be worth your while giving them a ring before the show just to make sure,,,if you have never been before then take a camera coz there will be lots to see that will inspire let alone the girls in there spay on outfits,


bob - 31/12/02 at 12:30 AM

thanks tim
I'm not interested in the showy bits and cars spinning around and donuting.
Its the little stalls and parts and whats new i want.
Maybe some peeps will meet up for lunch there

the short circuit show is the bit you want then, thats where nearly all the stalls etc will be, your thinking of the autodrome, the short circuit show was incoperated into the autosport show along with the kart show a few years back, short circuit covers all the stuff like hotrods, stockcars, legends that kind of thing and its there stalls that usualy have the best prices (not saying short circuit racers are tight).(but most are)


paul williams - 2/1/03 at 07:25 PM

Northy - 7/1/03 at 08:50 PM

I'll be there on the Sat.
