I got photographed & video interviewed on the PH stand today. Didn't see that coming. Not sure when it will materialise mind you.....lol
Yep thanks for taking the time out 
I expect it to appear on the autosport/show website but having had a quick look around it doesnt look like its been uploaded yet. I was assured they were editing and uploading on site but ... keep an eye out I guess.Made the trip over from Ireland on Saturday,i think it's my 3rd or 4th show.I think it's going down hill in general,a few stands missing this year and a few with the same old stuff - not to mention the bargain basement stands selling tat.
Witnessed a first class ..... on one of the lotus stands *team louts? i think - between the PH stand and the Jackie stewart collection) verbally abuse a member of the general public for opening the door of his car,he got called an asshole and there was a few vague homophobic references thrown in.I can see why he might get upset at someone doing this but i can also see why the memeber of the public thought it was ok to open the car - there are countless cars open to the public so it's hard to tell which you can and can't touch,also only 2 cars away there was a pristine escort RS with a lovely laminated "please do not touch" sign,i suggest the lotus fairy invest in one of these,it's a much easier and more mannerly way of keeping people away from your car.

Our first visit to this show. Almost certainly our last too. Incredibly unfriendly staff on the stands (with only a few notable exceptions), ridiculous layout, nothing went to timetable (I had specifically paid for the paddock pass as my son wanted to meet three of the "stars" only to find we had to miss our slot at the live show in order to meet them and then that sub-timetable went to pot meaning he met Jackie Stewart and jake Humphries as the were being ushered though so not really a meeting at all. The cars were sparse, for a car show although some were incredibly good (TVR Speed stood out), nothing actually for sale on the Pistonheads stand but that hardly mattered as the guys seemed to spend more time in the insurance tent chatting than out on the stand. My son did chat with a couple of them eventually.
The fact there are more pictures of girls from the show on here than cars speaks volumes about the show.
Sorry, just honest observations.

Was okay, better than spending an afternoon at home. Judging by the comments I didn't pick a good year to choose the first time to go, never mind.

I took 422 but that was due to taking multiple shots in quick succession to ensure at least one decent one. These are some of the best in my opinion. Some of them aren't but they were jpg so I included them. The rest are converted from .CR2.
