inconsistant Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I'll be there on Saturday, helping on the 924 oc stand in the posh hall. If you can bear it come and say hello. I'll be the one who refused to wear a club logo polo shirt. I am not a number/fuck the system etc. chaseracer, egg, D Spares & Tyres and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squire_Dawson Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 blguy1975 and I are going on the Saturday. I've been saying I'll visit the NEC for years but never did, now I can finally see what it's all about. I think I might hire a mobility scooter though. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfamale Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 Just got back. Me and our gert had a brilliant day. Seemed bigger and better than before with a lot of stuff I hadn’t seen before. Spoke to some really friendly knowledgeable people. Loved the FIAT 500 stand where they were building a car up over the weekend. For the bah humbugs, yes it’s an expensive day out and it is a bit busy but it’s hundreds of acres dedicated to what we love in life. Getting to Lourdes and Mecca isn’t exactly cheap either but people who make a pilgrimage to those places don’t complain about the cost! capsuleboy, oldcars, eddyramrod and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Back too. Enjoyed it a lot. Even if our feet were getting pretty sore by the end of it. Had a really good chat on the 1100 club stand. Also was good to see how a 1100 should be constructed. Saw this too. Only a mad person would be sat here navigating this to the NEC. Didn't take many other pictures of anything else to be honest as enjoyed the show more than anything. Yes it's expensive to get in. Yes some of it I had seen last year. Yes there is a lot of MGBs and E-Types (even I was getting fed up of seeing them and I like them!). Yes it gets pretty busy (not rammed though). However there is loads to see and great fun. Edit: Sorry Ms Kesley media woman. It wasn't at all intentional that I managed to frame your backside in that picture. eddyramrod, Isaac Hunt, LightBulbFun and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floatylight Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Been on the A45 coming out of Coventry around 2pm today and came across a Burgundy 940/960 and a red Mazda 323f, thought it might be some of those who dwell here...

Amishtat Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Been back a couple of hours, bloody good day out. Loads of stuff I hadn't seen before too (and the barried Skoda wasn't there for the first time in years).This was GORGEOUS trigger, Cardinal Wolseley, mercrocker and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skizzer Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I’m a bit sad not to be going but I spend so little time at home at the moment because of working away. Must try harder, maybe for the resto show in the spring. Looking forward to sharing vicariously via lots of photos please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rantingYoof Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I reckon an Autoshite mob would probably have a lot of amusement trawling the 59328 acres of car parking outside the show. I remember meeting Supernaut and 17_Coffees there a year or two ago and I spammed them about a dozen chod photographs on the 20 minute walk to the show from car park Z or something.

Brodders Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I reckon an Autoshite mob would probably have a lot of amusement trawling the 59328 acres of car parking outside the show. I remember meeting Supernaut and 17_Coffees there a year or two ago and I spammed them about a dozen chod photographs on the 20 minute walk to the show from car park Z or something.When we were there yesterday we noticed that there was very little of interest to spot on the way from the car park. The only two notable spots on the way in were a brown J-registered Audi 80 and a red Rover 75 V8 estate. However, the show itself was absolutely excellent. It was a very long day but absolutely worth it. I cannot list all of my highlights as there were so many truly excellent cars there, however random mentions go to the Vauxhall Viceroy from above, the red Montego Vanden Plas in Hall 8 and the 505 V6 on the Peugeot stand. There were loads more that I could name, but it would end up with a list as long as this page. I should have taken some photos, however it was a full day of trying to get around to see everything, but I will be going back again to see more next year.

carlo Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Here's a few pictures I took yesterday, really enjoyed this one. Decided to take long rest breaks between the walking!

carlo Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Love the Dodge Omni Think the little Plymouth (Avenger) is a Cricket? I'm annoyed I didn't note down exactly what this was; it had an 1800cc engine which may mean it was a later version; sure it was a Dodge so maybe not USA spec?

Amishtat Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I think it was badged as a Dodge 1800, but I think you could have it as a Plymouth Cricket and even a VW of some sort. Never heard of a Dodge version before yesterday though. Joloke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlo Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Someone at Club Peugeot UK also needs to be told that the 504 was rear wheel drive, not FWD. Bloody hell.... Lacquer Peel, meggersdog and mercrocker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMC Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Early start for HMC Found a suitable parking spot next to a more shouty relative.... There’s a lot more in common underneath that first appears, and the giffer spec saloon oddly has the more hardcore spec. Had a great day, my feet are aching though!!! At an air b&b in the Malvern hills to break the trip up back to Devon. PS I saw the trigsmobile too!

It bears a resemblance to an Avenger, but the rear side windows are a bit bigger and it was heavier than the UK made ones.
