who going.....anyone meeting up before the show.......

 

Sorry but what is going on at the nec on Saturday?

 

PistonHeads - The Performance Car Show (Public) - The NEC, Birmingham

 

I'm suppose to be going Thursday with college but doesn't look like its going to happen with the crappy weather

 

with past experience of going i would reccomend going on train or a sh!tty car as it's been known that tinkers/gypo's have stripped cars off all good bits and left just a shell

 

I used to go and went for about 15 years running but the show kept getting watered down and it's joke paying for car parking at the NEC considering what you have to pay for entry I last went 2 years ago but if it's your 1st time I'm sure you will love it

There used to be outdoor entertainment with rallystage through the woods back in the day Autocross/Autograss in the carparks was also great fun but they knocked it on the head

 

Been for the last three years but giving it a miss this year. £31.00 per person plus travel, parking and food, it's not good value any more IMO.

They have also lost a huge number of visitors if you look around the forums following there decision to stop the 2 for 1 deals. I would have thought this year more than any would have been the ideal time to promote a few entrance offers

 

Have to agree

Although I am going Friday

 

One pet hate is that Trade day's are often busier than public days and also seem full of kids

 

because of the crap weather im not going now .....so im getting my windows on my scooby tinted and it cheaper then going to the NEC

 

This is because all the colleges/schools generally go on the trade days.

 

Thursday is the quietest day , I'm there tomorrow

 

Despite battling through the Yoof of Today and their inane comments, Thursdays and Fridays are the best as you get Autosport Engineering. Its the kind of stuff that out of my league; Sequential gearboxes, low friction coating, simulators etc but its great to get a chance to chat to the folks on these stands as you get ideas for your own build and see the stuff you read about on forums etc. Is there going to be a Prodrive stand this year? Always a cool feature as they build up a Group N Impreza over the course of the show. Dare i say it though, Im actually quite excited about seeing the Nissan GT-R SpecV up close and personal!

 

So this is a rally then?
I wish i could go.. whats the next big one like this??

 

No its a motorsport show , all types of motorsport , from people selling parts , building cars , engineering , race and rally teams , its a good show , starts today and fiinished sunday , its a good show to go to if you into it.

Ideal for you if you want to get into rallying , as the MSA will be there to talk to , as well as the rally schools , and also people selling suits , helmets ect ,everything you need to know uunder one roof

I'm leaving shortly to go

Cheers Ian
