Autosport International

[mumbler]

Anyone off to Autosport International in January? Just bought a Friday ticket to get away from the crowds at the weekend. Found out that if you quote Gold Card you get in on Friday which is normally a trade day. Live action could be good as they say they have Subaru and Aston's in the performance. Quite looking forward to seeing how the Le Mans Aston DBR9 handles on the NEC's slippery floor!! Ha Ha

I'll be there, assisting with the drift demo boys (I'm not driving for a change!!) so will no doubt be spanner wielding & helping change tyres all week

No doubt I'll have a few spare hours to lose so if anyone wants to meet up just shout

[megy]

I will be there, definately on thursday, and at least one of the other days, so will a few other people, check out the following thread here

What do all the extras mean?

If you quote "DW3" you get Buy One Ticket Get One Free. Be quick I believe the offer finishes on the 5 January.

Only available on the standard tickets not Paddock etc

I'm going on Friday, VIP passes because they want us to exhibit next year so it should be interesting, unfortunately I'll be looking at the Aftermarket bit more than the Autosport side of things though

I'll be wearing a jacket, shirt and tie I expect

All set for the weekend! Got those Paddock Passes which means we get a 2nd viewing from the side of the show rather than the grandstand. Assume it also gives us plenty of stalking potential for drivers aswell. Heading down with Busby and a couple of other gents on Saturday for what is usually a superb day.

Going Saturday, then in the evening the LeMans Gala Dinner. Rub sholders with Allen McNish, Paddy Hopkirk, Derek Bell, Andy Wallace and Mark Blundell to name a few.

Yep, I noticed that too...
Excuse the blurring, I was walking in the crowd at the time.

I was getting flyers handed to me for PH, I just said I'm already a member. To be honest, yes the news of PH getting bought seems to be a good thing, from what I've read, I'm not so sure yet, but really, the amount of promotion and advertising for Pistonheads was just overkill. Every proper car enthusiast knows about Pistonheads, its known internationally! It can't possibly get any bigger!

Went up to the show with my good lady. Not been for 10 years, so I quite enjoyed it. The Aston was awesome, and an excellent display for the Impreza. A tad expensive though. Next up - The Historic motorsport show at Stoneleigh!
