I went out in JAPPO's Scud, what a fking car!
So much more Quicker and Louder than I expected!
Thanks for the VERY enjoyable ride and for letting me sit in it after to take some photos
It was my first time at the show, I will be going back next year.
Well done to all the people who show off their cars, help out and the people who sort the rides out for Sporting Bears, not to mention the wonderful owners
Good Work guys!

Have we had any posts yet complaining about the £10 parking charge at the NEC? Good show though enjoyed it this year, always something new to see
That will never changeBeen going for years and missed it this year for personal reasons and it always seems some of the halls are illuminated by candle light.
First time for me, really enjoyed the show, will definitely now join the Sporting Bears with a view to doing as many events as possible next year. The parking at the NEC is always £10 for any event so unlikely to change unfortunately, count your blessings it hasn't gone up for a few years ! (shouldn't tempt fate).
We went yesterday and had a great day but walked our legs off, myself and the wife.
The first thing I did was head for the sporting bears stand, as I have been out with them last year. looking for a f type but no luck. Fortunately a mate of mine, Baz Firth, played a blinder on me by recommending a run out in the Nissan GTR. I was a bit surprised to see him driving it when it came around to puck me up.
I presume it belongs to Jappo, it's a awesome car that I think I would have struggle with driving all day. The forces were savage. I take my hat off to you sir for allowing your car's to be used for such a great cause. Great stuff

Had a cracking weekend. Have been going for years, and as I have on some previous years, had my car on an owners club stand and spent the weekend chatting with folks, giving out some technical advice and so forth - then in the evenings heading out for meals with all the mates that had come over for the show. Not a bad way to spend a weekend really

Mine is nothing special - a galactic mileage Corrado VR6, but got plenty of folks coming past on the weekend to talk to and compliment me about the car which is always nice Had a great weekend. Managed 15 rides in total and met some wonderful people, including a Le Mans mechanic from an late 70's Aston team. Was great to see such splendid cars on the road, the t350 sounded awesome as myself and passenger chuckled at the noise as it sped away, the silver GTR looked glued to the road at some roundabouts and the Aventador was something else. Took my son on the Sunday so had less time for giving rides but still managed to get a few in. Well worth the fuel!
