The big one is nearly upon us once more. Time to pull off the dust covers, check her over and insure/MOT/tax in readiness for an exciting season of kit cars. See you at the show, regards Stuart

Serious question, I've never been. If I have a working car and dont need any parts why should I go?

well, it's the biggest kit car show in the world, thousands of owners kits on show, halls full of new kits to tempt you to build a second one, a great time to be had by all. A party on the Sunday night with live music, meet up with thousands of like minded people, lots of tools and interesting stands with stuff for sale and err, well that's all I can think of.
Oh, and a chance to blow the cobwebs off due to good excuse to go for a blast.

Oh, and ya get in for nowt if you drive a kit car! No wonder there is only one show left.

I always go.

Whilst 95% is the same stuff, there are always a couple of new (to me at least) cars on display.

I always manage to find various tools / parts that will come in handy and I usually get in free too.

Yup.
Gone down in an Ultima for the past couple of years but since it's an 800 mile round trip it will be in a slightly more practical Discovery this year. Mainly going to take another look at the LB Stratos before my build begins in June.

Will be there and hoping to see the 4x4 off-roaders on their course this year - Every year I plan to do it, but there's so much to see I get sidetracked! biggrin

Hopefully heading up in the Westfield and parking up with the SKCC guys. Going looking for some nicer toggle switches for the indicators and main beam as the last dash project .

I could really do with going as my build is about to start in earnest and I need to look at lights, switches and clocks... annoyingly the OH has planned for the outlaws to visit for the weekend...

Just looked at the info on this.
Why does anyone want to go and look at all the milk floats and golf buggies in the UK all at the same place? Why don't they just have some for representation and concentrate on new and hopefully intesting electric cars and parts.

I'm not going to pay £30 and unfortunately I don't think the Croation golf buggy will be there.
