Staffordshire Show
Hi Chaps
Just wondering if anyone is going up to the Sports and Kit Car show at the Staffordshire County Showground on March 8th.
I should hopefully have a garage almost built by then so should have somewhere to start building a car.
Anyone shed any light on this show?
Cheers
Steve

Yorkshire boys will be in attendance, maybe camping (did I really say that?)
Kit drivers get in free!
As for the show -it's Ok, bit early in the year for some of the manufacturers, the main attraction is being able to buy me a beer.
cheers
Chris
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

The previous Stafford shows i've been to were very good IMOA. Last years was a lot better than exeter, and apart from the track action it was better
than Donnington. Although it was b@sta@rd freezing last year and my 2 year old threw a massive tantrum in the tiger stand!! I'm sure that was one of
the things that put me off the avon

Isn't Donut a 'south London' mafia, or is he an honorary member of your west ?

STAFFORD SHOW & CAMPING
Tickets came today,attached was a letter stating that camping will be £3 a night and would be run by the showground and not limlight exhibitions.
Also a new toilet shower block has been built but there is no electric hook up fo rgirls and there hairdryers .
I was told there was a toilet/shower block last year, the brick building that looked very much like a shithouse and reaked like one was locled all
weekend.
You pays yer money and so on.

Cor Blimey! I'm honoured to be an honary member of the West London Mafia. That means SO much to me..to feel part of a well established community of
........erm........blokes!
I think the membership of the South London Mafia consists of me, Jason and maybe Zetech....but he's in East London really. Does that count?
