I saw the Caparo being driven in this morning - looks like the clutch is an on/off switch and the throttle response is "a bit sensitive" biggrin

We went this morning when it opened and tbh were a bit disappointed.

We had a list of things to get for camping, some of which were very basic - tent pegs, water container, inner tent, etc). We managed to get none of these. The show had loads and loads of motorhomes, RV's, and caravans for sale, but only one actual 'camping' shop. There were loads of boats which would have been impressive if we had had a guided tour and not seen inside them before, and the car displays were just ok.

It was probably half the size of show we expected, especially for £10 each on entry. The biggest surprise was that there was not much leisure or fun activity things on displays. It might be better in the weekend rather than the first day, so someone else may get a totally different idea of it.

I was there as well and I agree, although I displayed so got i free. Bit cold and wet.I recon sunday may be better as the weather will be better and i would imagine there will be a few more car clubs there.
I went to the earls court boat show that the guy organised 2 years ago.He should have expanded on that I recon.
