To be honest, I don't think it was worth the £7 i paid to get in, I feel sorry for some of you who came from far, far away!
There were much better cars in the car park than in the show, bar some which were just amazing!

What did you all think? And what did you all buy?

It was ok. Loads of different stalls to buy from. i spent far too much money. There were some very nice cars there. Its a great show, but it didnt seem as good as i remember it. Pain queing to get in too. lol

Had a good time myself.

Lost the convoy from Coventry on the M6 sadly.

Bought most of a 998 engine to rebuild for £30, new gearknob and new grille end pieces.

Oh and rejoined the BMC.

I went, didnt think it was amazing. Coming down from chesterfield was a good run though. Bought a fuel filter. Some awesome minis in car park. Anyone arrive at 10.20ish and hear my alarm go off? Not too embarrassing!!!

I thought it was good, other than my brother whining in my ear Then again, it's only the 3rd show I've been too so I'm biased

I was in the Underwear Convoy I had a pretty good day really enjoyed the drive from Coventry with all the Minis! I only spent a few hours at the show and picked up a windscreen seal so nothing too exciting. Some lovely cars there I thought the one with the marble paint was pretty interesting that one with the seriously loud bass stuck in my mind too.

I have decided though that vinyl seats and being almost naked isn't all that fun when it's hot

The que didn't seem too bad for me sounded like it got worse anyway.

First ones there at 8am to set up club stand. Very good show not as good as last year but good.
Didnt buy anything. Only one complant that trying to exit the show is far beyond a joke, they really need to sort the exit out, show finished at 430 got out show a 6 and only because of a gap in fence.

i was there on the renegade mini's stand. The one with the stig cardboard cut out and the the big gold 50. had a good time, no one said hello though!!

[mr coop]

Was ok bought pair of headlamp peaks, centre caps for alloys, and new front grille, bit of a shame that all the mini's weren't parked together as once in the show you are very limited to what you see.
The raffle was running late too so didn't bother waiting felt it was just another way to keep people there longer.
