Car owners heading to the NEC

[Garlick]

When you head to hall door 19.3 the car access door is closed to keep the halls warm.

Alongside the car entry is a normal door, please park by the big door and pop inside the normal one and you'll find Alex in the hall waiting to book you in and open the door to allow access.

Cheers

Oh, and it's still OK weather wise.

8 cars there at the moment, tomorrow was the more popular 'drop off' day. However, your car does have some friends now

Poor old Alex just had me for company for two hours!

Presumably there wasn't much of a wait for Auto Finesse to get working on cars then!
Hopefully (for the show's sake) it will be busier tomorrow. Aiming to get there between midday and 1pm.

I presume it's best to plan a bite to eat elsewhere?

I have to dig my Morgan out of the snow in the morning. Been driving the 4X4 for the last week or so. I expect to get up there late afternoon.

[LPH]

Should be arriving around 10am - I bottled it with the weather and it's being trailered there.

Forecast is for snow from about 6am until late afternoon in Birmingham tomorrow

[Jonty355]

Yeah the Aston has some friends now. Couple of TVRs, Exige, Monaro, Lotus Carlton and my 355.... And I've left it topless!

[Garlick]

I'll update in the morning on the weather guys, and we'll be in the halls until 22.00 if you need us to be.

Good luck everyone, I'm heading up in the TVR tomorrow so I understand how you feel!

[fatboy18]

Should be fun trying to get out of the garage!



Roll on Summer!

[Garlick]

Thanks for even attempting it sir, in fact you are all absolute heroes

Here's some pics from the NEC today when I dropped the car off.

Dont worry, the roads were a lot clearer than the Car Parks.




The hall, a little bit sparse at the minute. Sorry you cant see the Aston. Thought I'd got a pic of it.


A very nice Orange Exige S1 (Sorry, but it looks orange in the pics under that lighting, but it is actually Red.


The Swordfish Tuscan, still not finished from an engine rebuild. Looks awesome with the engine covor off though!!!


A colour changing Tamora. It looked black outside. Then green inside!

[Godzilla]

Ooh, those empty car parks look irresistible!

[swampy56]

Will be there about 2pm ish. Atom on a trailer, drove last year and froze my nuts off. Lesson learned!

[Godzilla]

Hmm, this is looking trickier! Getting there will be no prob, but the journey back is going to be interesting...
