Friday's most likely for me. My son wants to see the MPH exhibits so the free access to that hall with the Classic Car show works well.

Cheap advance rail tickets and a NEC parking fee of £8.00 make the train the cheapest way of getting there and back.[:(]

I'm not standing beneath a clock wearing a red carnation - but It'd be good if a few of us could meet up!

Gaz

See you on the Sunday I am popping over on that day hopefully.

If anybody else is thinking "do I go or not?", it is worth it and from what I hear all of the Triumphs are going be located together.

You will see all kinds of cars that you do not normally see, so bring your camera.

stan, not taking the 7 as possibly my boys will be coming up with me with possibly one or more girlfriends so the boring old focus, we def should meet up, met up with zoe last year and chatted to stevie a as his car was on the trdrivers stand, we should try to meet up but to be honest, when you set a time.... and then see some thing, then something else.........lol, the place is massive and you lose track of time very easily, but the week before we should all log on here and arrange meeting.[:D] maybe red carnation not good idea, how about we carry a copy of practical classics? mmmmm then again they are up there so might not work either, chatted to a few of the pc writers last year too and ed and mike are just like on tv, real easy to chat to and had a convo with the other mechanic paul last year, he used to race tr7s!!!!

I'm undecided as to take the 7 or not Nervous, i'm going with a mate of mine who is after a classic but does not know what he actually wants.

So do i go in the enjoyment of the 7 or the fuel economy of my citroen [?], its a tough choice.[;)]
