Question

Hi
I've looked on the Autosport show web site and from what I can make out tomorrow is a trade day with only Sat and Sun open to the public...Is this correct ? Because I really want to go tomorrow.

Cheers.

Yes it is trade only.

It was quite quiet today, you should be able to talk you way in, especially if you have a business card to flash about.

The NEC car parks are well known for nice cars going missing. Last night, ChrisP mentioned that a £30k+ Ralliart prep'd Mitsu Galant went walkies from the Autosport Show in the last day or so.

Don't the take Scooby!

Chris.

I went yesterday in the yellow Diablo that was tested in EVO COTY.

We spoke to security and they found a spot right next to a gaurd hut for us.

I would park your Scooby near a guard hut if possible, even if it means a long walk.

Before you ask, the Lambo was stunning

Cheers Pete...

I'll be getting there for about 8.30/9 so it shouldn't be a problem! Oh well have to wait and see?

Cheers

Talking about cars being stolen from the car park at the NEC I have just been sent this :

STUART RAWLINSON HAS JUST HAD HIS NISSAN SUNNY GTIR STOLEN FROM THE NEC AT THE AUTOSPORT SHOW.

BLACK GTIR
MULTISPOKE 17 INCH RIMS
REG D2 JAC
IMMACULATE CONDITION

PLEASE RING POLICE OR STUART ASAP IF ANYBODY HAS SEEN IT ANYWHERE IN THE UK ESPECIALLY THE BIRMINGHAM AREAS.. stuart: 07949 137865

Probably safer NOT to take the scooby!!

Ask for secure parking when you reach the first attendants and before being directed to the car parks. We have never been refused - and it also saves a long walk or the shuttle buses

The Galant that was 'stolen' did have the keys in and the ignition running!

All the fault of the delivery driver not Ralliart.
