Hi Paul,

Went today, yeah, not bad. Think it was bigger than last year, or maybe more spread out, not sure.

Didn't do the Thunderdome thing though so cannot say if that was any good.

Er, lots of Kart stuff, Bike stuff, race bits, rally cars, Coys classic auction stuff was nice etc. etc.

F1 Teams were there, well the bigger ones anyway.

Prodrive stand wasn't at all exciting

Still, good day out.

Cheers

Ian

The actual show was huge (much bigger than previous years I'm sure)...

But the thunderdrome was a big let down IMHO.

No where near as good as when it was run by top gear.

Worth the trip if you want to see the actual show.

Question

We went on Friday and i thought the show wasn't as big as last year
because there wasn't the autojumble and bits and pices hall this time so i couldnt get any odd bits for my mk2 Escort rally car.

But did buy some bit for the scooby, Mintex pads and smoe Piaa Supper whites and lots of catalogues etc and a Subaru jacket

Nice man at Prodrive gave tech advice after I flashed SIDC membershio card
Basically said dont get a dump to atmos dump valve and get a decat instead

The one thing that spoilt it for me was the scantily clad chicks, NOT ENOUGH!!!
Isn't life as a single bloke great?? Loads to look at and no nagging
