Not as good as last 2 years, probably due to the October weather. Made for it being more of a trade show with some traders missing which meant I
did'nt spend all my money!
One or two new models to see, so overall 6/10 for me
Better than decorating though

Almost no-one selling tat, which is why I went really. Only 1 food caterer. Not the best show I've been to.

just got back from the long drive home (15 minutes)
not a bad show but nothing all that jaw dropping there.
track sessions looked a bad idea so i bottled it and didn't bother, cars were all too bunched up which is fine for the pro's out there but
never having been on a proper track session before i could see me ending up parking in someones fuel tank.
wasn't all that many traders there really? didnt seem it to me anyway but i still got some new mirrors as i don't like mine and some trim.
oh and a big heavy duty chain and lock which took my dad and i roughly 10 minutes to figure out how it locked again!
just gotta go clean all the dust off the car now! it's like RS owners club national day all over again!!!
built a car, built a home, had a family. lost the family, lost the home, still got the car.

Just got back from Donington. Had an excellent day - must have been the company we were with Wouldn't know anything about the manufacturers
stands cos we didn't get that far into the hall. Too much time spent on trackside itching to go on. 
Roll on Elvington next Saturday.

Just got back after my day at Donny. No real surprises really. There was a nice Ferrari / Peugot hybrid if you are into replicas (not my thing)
Zillions of Sevens and Cobras as usual and the usual hard core traders.
I managed to find a couple of very cheap Aerocaps (£45) and a Dremel tookit for £12 so it wasn't all bad
Cheers,
Raz
