Anyone on here exhibiting at the show this year?

We're looking into doing it but not sure whether it'll be worth it.....visited last years as a member of public and wasn't that impressed (just like most of you it seems!!)

We exhibited at this years show.
Depends on what you're selling, but the PH hall was very quiet in comparison to all the others. You could really tell the difference each day in clientele as well - Thurs/Fri was professionals, Saturday was enthusiasts and Sunday seemed to be chavs day out. It's expensive for what it is as well, from an exhibiters point of view.

Is there going to be a PH show at Autosport in 2012??

Hi,

Just wondering whether you need any cars for show? I showed 2 years in a row when. You had the hall full off owners cars. Was awesome!

There sure is, I've been pouring my heart into it for the past few months and it's going to be bigger and better than before.

We do read the forums and have taken a lot of the criticism into account. The PH stand alone is going to be rather special!

We're pretty much fully catered for now, we have a number of owners clubs displaying their finest metal and as I've just mentioned, a load of Supercars.

From what I've seen through your signature, am I right in saying that you are primarily dealing with modified hatchbacks?

When I showed last time I had a Clio V6. Sold that for a rare import civic type r. That's since gone and I've got a pristine low mileage S2000, just in time for winter

That does sound nice but unfortunately I can't fit you in at this stage.

As I said in a previous post we have gone down the owners club route this year. The reason behind this is feedback suggested visitors were un-impressed by looking at a load of roped off cars, it's easy enough to do that at Tescos.

The owners club stands are being manned by the members themselves so rather than just looking at a roped off Noble / TVR etc you can actually talk to the owners about their experiences of ownership etc.

I will bear you in mind for next year though if there is something that can be done.

Thanks,

James

Yeh I think that's a better Idea James. Let me know if you need any cars next year, am always happy to show. See you all at the show!
