My favourite show of the year!

How old are the kids? They'll like the Action Arena - whether or not they'll mind if Dad spends an hour looking at dampers, gearboxes or whatever is another matter!

6 off us are going on the leaving here at midnight on fri and driving down. seing the show on sat and live action on sat night then we are staying in the same hotel as the national hotrod guys.
Back up to scotland on sun
It's a great show and would prob be worth seeing on a trde day cause on public days the models are apparently more clothed but they must be naked on trde day to acheive that
use your son to stand beside the models on the stands and then you can focs on them and pan across and take a photo of the model and post them all on here
Anyways you won't be disappointed that's why we've a round trip of almost 1000 miles.


Deckman001 - 30/12/05 at 05:52 PM

This is sounding good !!!
Anyone want to club together to get a group discount ??? 10% off for 10 or more tickets
I'm needing 5 so not many more needed

i will be there on the saturcay, as you have kids there is the F1 in schools thing happening on the sat, basicly little racing cars powered by co2

Its an expensive show, but worth the money if your looking for parts. My favorite stand last year was Z-cars.

I'll be on the Coventry University stand hopefully on a trade day. So if you run a motorsport company please come and talk to me!

And of course anyone else, come and talk to me if you see me, i'll be in a blue shirt, with a pheonix logo and several sponsors, and probably a name badge. Either on the stand or around the show.

Cheers

Mark

A few of us are going on the trade days, It's a brilliant show, but a trifle busy on the public days.

Less free sample either

Cheers

Chris


Jasper - 31/12/05 at 01:48 PM

After discussion with those in the know, I'm now going during the week to avoid the crowds....

Hmmmmm - free samples ......... does that includes the girls


alfasudsprint - 31/12/05 at 03:44 PM

Any chance of getting in on a trade day??? Any ideas anyone?

The tank man once took a whole three foot high container full of jelly beans, and MK had us sheilding a bin full of plastic bushes etc while he filled his holdall!

The opportunities for lechery cannot be under estimated.

There we're some ladies with no vests on last year.

Cheers
