Spent Saturday at the NEC Classic Car Show, well worth going.
ElectricDave and his mate came along , plus my mum and Angie so quite a few of us wandering around :)
The show was as massive as I expected it to be, the only complaints were not enough seating provided to rest our weary legs :P
I somehow managed to miss the c5 that was on display :o, electricdave told me about it on the drive home....
Biggest shock of the day was how many of the cars now considered classics are ones that I either owned or remember seeing driving about :D :D
..things like Capri's, Mk2 Granada's, Carlton's, Mk2 Cavaliers etc don't seem old to me ::)
But I did see a car that I really want to own, if I do sell the mini-el it will be top of my shopping list :-X
Our entry tickets to the show also allowed entry to the MPH show, and the Classic Bike show so an excellent day out :)
I also got to reminisce over my misspent youth on the Yamaha LC club stand...happy memories 8)
I forgot all about this event - looked really good in the adverts - Love looking round classic cars particularly the Ford stands being a 'Cortina' boy in my youth !!
Sounds like one I would have really enjoyed, shame my wife and kids don't like cars ! I hope you have some pictures to post Karl.
Retro Andy.
