In response to Stuart's plee on the 'weed' threed with all the potheads who is going to Autosport? I'll be up on Friday having 'scored' a freebie as a guest of an exhibitor.

Are you exhibiting Mr MEV? (so to speak !)

Yes, times 2 (me & wife-Liz) for Friday.
No free pass, but did get MSA £5 off.

Would like to get there Fri (can't do the other days at all) but it's my sisters 60th party that evening. I'm in enough trouble for missing Christmas!

Look forward to seeing everyone, it is going to be a great show, Replicar will be in the motor sport section and Mevster will be high up on top of the Strongman 4 poster.

I would, but at £120 before fuel, its not the cheapest of days.

It costs £12 to park unless you get the bus/train/plane and £31 to get in. I make that only £43 for a MASSIVE show. (take a flask and sandwich) Then again if you have to drag the family along...

It is indeed a massive show and is one of the top shows to go to if you're at all interested in driving quickly. I shall be going and I know I'll come away having forgotten to go to one stand or other to ask about this or that, I always do it's just so much to take in. However it's not at all cheap and on top of the cost of parking and entry there's the fuel to get there and the food and drink you'll be ripped off with when you're hungry too. Share the car parking by going with friends/colleagues and take a sandwich and a drink.

There's only so much money in our pockets and it's less and less these days so we have to seriously consider which shows we visit. There's the Kit Car shows I also want to continue to attend also the question is what is affordable? and what's good value?

Complete Kit Car magazine will be there, amongst the Hand Built Sports Car Pavilion in Hall 19.

Hope to see you there!

Since I am the one that want's to go, I pay for all 4.

So not a cheap show for me at all.

I do go stoneleigh every year and fingers crossed will have my car on the owners stand this year.

Anyway, have fun everyone, hope some bargins to be had.
