Tight wad

[Fun Bus]

£41 before you've even walked through the door. I'm having second thoughts. Not because I'm tight, or can't afford it - I don't think I can justify it - and I'd get there and back in a fully expensed company car too.

Dare I say it, most of the cars there will be nothing I've not seen before anyway.

ETA: The only thing I'll miss is the Coys auction which I always enjoy the atmosphere and viewing of.

If you get on the PHSS list, you'll save the £10 parking...

[Fun Bus]

True, but the Coys suction is on the Saturday and is a big reason for me to go.

I'm going, I agree it is expensive, but there isn't much else to do at this time of year...

More reason for the over ambitious prices as they know there's not much else to do in January

Given the motorcycle show was 2/3's the price I'd rather go test drive a car at my local OPC than ogle one from behind a barrier for that price.

There is the action arena too which I know my lad will enjoy.

You can park at a station such as Tile Hill, Canley or Berkswell for free, then jump on a train to the NEC about £1.50 I think, it takes you further inside the place too, so you don't need to get soaked walking from the car park that's miles away. Train only takes about 10 mins from the furthest station.

Yup, that's what I'd normally do, I think it is £2.20 from Tile Hill, but PHSS means driving is more sociable!

You can buy a ticket with £11 worth of Tesco club card vouchers if that helps anyone

I will be at the show with the Lotus and McLaren on the Rally for Heroes (SSAFA) stand, please come over and say hi.

We are going too on the Sunday.

It will be me and my son Tom, and parking in the PH SS as well.

I hope to take my Caterham R500, but if the weather is not too clever, then we will be in my Porsche 997 Targa.

I have to agree it's not cheap anymore, but then what shows are these days? Plus it's an excuse for a day out with the lad and cars!

Might see some of you there on the day.

Nige.

[RossP]

I will be there with my son Lewis. Black E92 M3. Say Hi!

Will look out for you and Lewis too Ross.

We have paddock pass tickets, and are on the 11:30 Live Action Arena Show as well.

Cheers,

Nige.

We are also booked into the arena for 11.30 but didn't bother with the paddock passes.
