Is anyone from the South West going to the show?

I was thinking of going and on the off chance they needed any car they could get to display, I entered mine only to find out they would like it, along with 149 other cars. Anyone got any thoughts and opinions on this, should I let them display my pride and joy for 3 days in return for a 3 day pass and a free detailing session?

Any thoughts, opinions and advice would be appreciated.

Are you going up on the Wednesday?
If so - we could meet at Exeter if you want to - are you getting the train back or have you arranged a lift?

I see we need to be there before 19:00hrs on the Wednesday.
Anyone fancy heading up late in the afternoon? I'll be leaving from Bristol.

Can I assume the 15:05 train involves changing at New Street and then you're going down through Bristol?
Might join you for that early convoy - Unless a lift opportunity arises thumbup

Going late would mean washing the cars outside, in the dark, possibly just with a bucket, and I'm pretty confident it'll be freezing!!!

Yes, as far as I can tell, the train goes through Bristol. The 15:05 from BIR INT goes to BIR New St first.
