Hopeful of attending on the Sat but it will have to be in the modern as the odds that I have to complete on the Rover will not get done on time - still not too much loss the little astra SRI is great car to boot - just no where near in the looks / style or sound department of the fantastic V8 Rover (and by the sound department I do not mean the stero and sub woofers either - it has never had any in car entertainment fitted from new - and sad I know but I would rather listen to the engine anyway)

I went today not that busy, made it easy to walk around which was nice for a change.

I saw Fuzz on the CM stand, I saw Sam was going to say hello but he was busy chating away .
Congrats on his new position at PC . How big is his garage with all those cars?.

I was there on Sunday, I only had my phone camera with me and all but a couple of the pics are really squiffy (the only good ones are of the Top Gear fiat police car, Hilux and combine)
It was an entertaining day out, i didn't buy anything other than the program as the only parts I was after were for my RR and the Mog, none of which i found on sale :(
My other half insisted on nosing about a commer camper that was on sale (for £850 i think) with an advert saying "everything works" on the windscreen while i was investigating a Lotus Cortina (all i need is a lottery win!).
