Was an Okay show.. I wasn't too impressed really... the part i wanted nobody had and it was far too busy... I hate crowds of people so wasn't really able to look at the trade, see what was out and about etc.

And BMC have annoyed me heavily this year which was another reason to not enjoy it.

Was great to meet old and new faces! TMF photo was massive this year... can't wait to see it!!

Unfortunatly i failed with photos this year... I didn't have a camera and the phone died half way through the day.

Heres my pictures from the carpark,
















Did anyone see the VW passat estate that looked like it bottomed out on a kerb on the rhd side of the carpark as you went out?

I bought this little lot plus a Lucas reverse lamp (not pictured) it cleaned out my wallet but I had planned to buy it. Bingley was my first Mini show believe it or not! I had a 4 hour drive back to sunny Norwich but I was pleased with the stuff I bought so was worth it.

3hour drive either way. Came home with two stickers lol.

Stayed while 4pm to see the raffle, didnt win. Could have been home hours ago otherwise. Seemed limited as to what you could spend time looking at. We walked around several times and even sat in the car for abit. Wont make the effort next time I dont think.....

This was the first show i have ever been to and to be honest I was slightly disappointed really, I don't know what I was expecting but I think i built it up too much in my head. I would have liked to have seen more 'jumble' old used parts than the new stuff that way I would have felt like i was hunting for a hidden gem but I guess with anything popular the traders know what everything is worth and won't let it go cheap even if its basically scrap (that goes for the cars for sale outside some of the prices were ridiculously high in my opinion but it did make me feel better about my own car!)

took a few pics but not many mostly of MK1 styles



love the scuttle work on this

This one?

What do you carry in the back with the winch?

[mini-man-dan]

Saw Semi Skimmed and a few others on the way up. Wow those wheels are wiiddee without the arches!
Came back with a K&N, 3 10" wellers (one with a tyre so i could use it as a barge in the crowds ), new wheel bearing and urm... probably more but can't remember
Was a good day, if only it wasn't so expensive everytime i go to there Mini auto jumble things...
Also saw Boris the Sprite, parked just down from it, Roofless in the Mini Only car park, and Purple Tom (I think).

[gregh55]

[james962]

I enjoyed the show today, only came away with a few shiney things and some bonnet straps though. Love the 50th edition mini and the fibreglass Z car

Was good to meet up with a few TMFer's as well

[Jordie]

Yeah thats mine, I haven't used the winch. One of the previous owners apparantly did work on engines and used to winch them one the back, there was plywood in the back at one point as well that was removed by the last owner.
