As above. There weren't that many mini's on display for the size of the hall. Plus one of the mini clubs had pulled out at the last minute and the autojumble was disappointing to say the least. But there were some nice pick ups on display :proud: Hopefully next year will be better

Just got back, not a brilliant show - I would only go again if I was local. Some nice cars on display and the autojumble was good with plenty of tools, consumables and mini parts for sale. The problem is there just wasn't enough clubs in attendance - the flaw with holding a show in February.

Too many people tuck their car away between November and April.

Not a bad show actually, not massive but some nice cars and the auto-jumble did empty my pockets :lol:
According to one of the traders, the show has only recently started up again so i think its a case of it needs a few years to get bigger (plus also if it wasn't raining).

It was much quieter yesterday then, as that room was busy today.

Yeah that photo was taken about 4pm when the car park had emptied and just the clubs were left really.

Very nice too.
*off topic|* I bought PAE500F in '68. It was a Hydrolastic Cooper S. Last I heard Cooperandy on here was hoping to restore it.

It did seem rather empty even at peak visiting time yesterday
Huey & I & Boris the club mascot (bear) left south Devon in the dark and rain with big water splashes on the roads so I just kept saying "get in the car and drive" to myself. Boris was ominously quiet.
Met a lot of nice people and got treated to Sunday roast for my birthday! :proud:
NB My camera is a bit shaky. Not me.
