I can't go this year cry

I am working on the Saturday and have my sister in laws 30th birthday on the Sunday

Last years show was great. So many toys, not enough cash rolleyes

For those who haven't been before, its well worth it - not just to see Blanes wedge on display, but to see a whole host of other old car exotica yum

Ooh, take plenty of cash as you will find the endless stands selling miricle polishes and car covers at show prices all too tempting!

Me and Mrs will be there on the Sunday. The Bike show is also at the NEC at the same time so it makes for better value for money to get two shows done for the cost of one trip to Brum.

Further to previous post, I've just realised it opens today and I'm off work with nothing to do!!! Classic car show here I come!

On the downside, advance tickets sold out and on the door price is a rip off £21!!!!!

You bet I did buddy.
It was strange - there was a 400se on the TVR car club stand that had a striking resemblence to yours!


£21 on the door was not funny - neither was the £7 car parking but on the upside, the MPH2006 show is also on at the NEC www.mphshow.co.uk/ and there were no security to stop you walking between one show and the other. I don't know how I spent 7 hours there hehe

As usual I spent too much money on a car cover, some polish and a few other odds and sods - but all well worth it I'm sure.

The Meguiars stand were giving away loads of free samples. I visited this stand a few times hehe

All in all, a great day - even if I did go on my own

It dont whisper, in fact at the mo it does not make any kind of noise at all (unlike Angie who is still very vocal whenever TVR ££££s or parts are mentioned)

Your Wedge looks great Blaine thumbup

Good show, especially when the tickets were free

Blaines car looked very shiney on the club stand, loudest car in the dream rides was a 350 SE badged 460, followed closely by a Lancia Stratos!

Cracking show - nothing bad to say about it thumbup

Well done on the TVR stand - looked brilliant.

Think the Stratos was a Hawk replica - nice tool though.
Could have spent a few bob on that Dream Rides meself.
