I can't make it tonight - i'll be in one of the local hostelries alright but won't be able to make it across. Maybe you would let us know if it is worth the trip. Friday night is probably the best time to miss the "Kev's"! Enjoy... |

Well,I decided against going on Friday cos it would be to pressed for time.Decided to go Sunday mornin and due to my poor ability to stop drinking I couldn't move on Sunday.Eventually got out of bed and was ready to leave at 7 o'clock and realised on the voucher I had that it was over at 6pm.
I doubt we missed much so after being at Birmingham this year already I'm not worried.I reckon if you head down to Des Cullen Cars you'll find most of the cars that were at the show

If you had a Bentley for sale would you bring it to a show where the unwashed public could maul it? ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

| If I had a Bentley I'd be too embarrassed to go out in it. |

Well Richie while the cats are away the mice will play I suppose the car didn't get washed either should have taken my advice on Sat and washed it that evening and the time taken to do that would have reduced your fuel consumption |

I went and had a look, I thought it was going to be the usual RDS Motorshow experience, great way of killing an hour. Well, we spent a bit longer than usual. There was a DB9, it was let open and people could sit in and have a look. There was a silver Vanquish parked along side (Locked). The Engines looked fabulous. There was a yellow Ferrari 360 outside and 2 360 Spyders and 1 coupe on display inside. The Jaguars were good, the only thing was that it was impossible to take photographs anywhere with the crowds. There was one of the Procar M1s on display as well. And a few TVRs, e types and one very nice Audi RS6 Estate. There was a display outside of "Modified Cars" (Civics, saxos and one very nice 3-series coupe with flip paint) and a stunt driver doing dough-nuts in a TVR. Not a bad afternoon's entertainment. Pity some of the Manufacturers didn't come along.....
