It is from the 9th to the 12th January. The 9th and 10th are trade days and is open to the public at the weekend.

We have lots of Subaru WRC (Prodrive/Alpinestars) posters to give away...

All subaru owners more than welcome to come along to the stand to say hello!

See you there

Aye, I will be going with the old man, my brother and brother inlaw on Friday 10th. It is on from January 9th-12th at the usual venue (Birmingham NEC). This will be our third year in a row and it never fails. The live action arena is an absolute must. Nothing quite like the sound of a V8 NASCAR/ASCAR in the confines of a building (you feel every beat of the engine through your chest). Needless to say the lovely ladies dish out free ear plugs but for us hardened motorsport fans theres nothing like hearing it for real just be warned that your ears will ring for a good hour afterwards and your voice will be shot from the audience participation.

We'll be there next Friday. Went last year - it was good, but the live arena was very 'mickey mouse'. This year should be a lot better as they have a great lineup - including a Group B Audi quattro - hmmmmmm

My m8 is bringing his son along and won't let him off school so we'll be fighting through the crowds on Saturday as well

His lad will appreciate yet another poster for his bedroom wall!

Last year I queued for hours to get DC's autograph for my mum, even bought a print for him to sign. He totally ignored his true Scottish fans and what made it even worse for me was just as it was my turn and the young girl in front of me (in a wheelchair), he just walked away and said "times up!" As you can imagine I was not very pleased and me being a true Scot told him what I thought of him and he still just walked away. The girl in front of me was in tears.

I wouldn't bother with him, he only loves himself [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Isn't this the show where last year Ralliart "lost" an EVO or two? They were being offloaded from a trailer/transporter when someone nabbed 'em!! ... Ralliart followed this up with some adverts/posters saying the cars could be returned with "no questions asked".

I went two years ago... was pretty good, not spectacular.

..because in the last 2 years I know of at least 2 scoobs, an RS Escort cosworth and a GTI-R that have been stolen from the "secure" car parks during Autosport week. Plus theft from vehicles..

Its your call but my scoob will be staying at home..
