So who's going?
I was working but have managed to swap shifts so I'm about to book our tickets,
I'm just curious but can someone explain why Fridays tickets are more expensive than the weekend? My only thought is people getting in first for all those auto jumble goodies?
So who's doing the classic motor show at the NEC?
Re: So who's doing the classic motor show at the NEC?
I will be there on the Sunday, probably annoying the PC staffers. I don't think I have ever bought any car parts from there but almost always come away with some tools I can't live without.

I'll probably be there on the Sunday, in and around the Matra Enthusiasts' Club stand. We've been promised Danny Hopkins' Espace this year.

The Rover 800 crowd will have a stand again this year.

I was planning on taking the mx5 down,but as I'm now sat at home with a broken shoulder I doubt I will be there.
I think the Friday tickets are more expensive due to the auto jumble as mentioned above.

You mean you won't have your ORANGE car ready for next month? It looks like you are ready for an MOT tomorrow!

It'll probably be ready, funds allowing, but I still need to prioritise, and jollies are currently off the cards
