Doc won't do my ECG because of the hernia op, so im not going.

terence · 13 Jan 2010, 16:50 (Ref:2612826)

Not really surprising Iain,I take it you had a full anesthetic for a start? Not taking into consideration the internal stiching,I would have thought you to be better off waiting anyway.No point in pushing it too far.

delta · 13 Jan 2010, 17:00 (Ref:2612830)

Thanks for the advice Dad

Lie about your age Iain, you can have your ECG laying down then, with a paper and a glass of sherry

Just had a look to see what the other side thought about the show. They are all moaning about the cost and a couple who went were a bit disappointed. Any of our lot go today and what were your thoughts on the show.

What other side?

terence · 14 Jan 2010, 20:30 (Ref:2613512)

The Darker Side.

mickey29 · 14 Jan 2010, 20:33 (Ref:2613517)

Ahh, I have seen the light now though!

bdwoody · 14 Jan 2010, 22:24 (Ref:2613579)

last time for me for a while i think ..

midgetman · 14 Jan 2010, 23:13 (Ref:2613603)

I thought it was the worst I'd been to for some time, but a couple of the traders were rubbing their hands. These were people who are selling only to competitors so the "right" people were there.

Certainly it was easy to move around 'cos there weren't many people there. Didn't seem to be very much of interest in the auction. The Pistonheads "Supercar" display consisted of a number of Elises, a battered TVR and a Mini fer pete's sake!!!!

I did begrudge my £24 and even more the day I wasted going there.

terence · 15 Jan 2010, 06:03 (Ref:2613682)

Hmmmm,glad I kept my physios appointment after all!

Mike Bell · 15 Jan 2010, 06:08 (Ref:2613683)

Will be first visit for many years. Sounds like I will have to be content with getting Medical and ECG done while there........

Maybe Saturday will liven up a bit!

terence · 15 Jan 2010, 08:38 (Ref:2613713)

Oh,I think it will Mike,tyre kickers/brochure hunters and so on. Have fun.

You don't even have to go in for that.

Funny you should say that, but just printed off the site plan and was wondering if that was the case!

Oh well, will concentrate on the Engineering Hall- all those shiny bits.....

**Tim Falce** · 15 Jan 2010, 18:54 (Ref:2613899)

The medical and ecg bit is in a room on the right in the foyer as you approach from the car park. You wont be looking at any engineering bits on Saturday or Sunday as they are replaced by the bling stands, engineering is trade days only.

The GR8 on the Chevron stand attracting a good deal of attention as was Tweeks. the Dunlop stand also. Expensive for those who had to pay an entrance and a hefty parking charge on top. Let the train take the strain 3 quid to park 8-40 there and back, fridge provided my bait, didn't buy owt, cheap day out.

Moosehead · 16 Jan 2010, 15:58 (Ref:2614275)

Going tommorow but seeing as my mate has ducked out this year the Mrs wants to come, hmm, going to be an expensive day out!!

terence · 16 Jan 2010, 16:51 (Ref:2614303)

For her??

skentellytubby · 16 Jan 2010, 17:53 (Ref:2614333)

Just got back.....not impressed!!! £30 each plus £8 parking and fuel, definately not worth it. £15 each and I'd have said it was "alright"

terence · 16 Jan 2010, 18:21 (Ref:2614338)

Auto sport must really be struggling with it this year,so far this week I have had 11 reminders that the show is on! And I'm still not bothering with it,obviously little change from previous years!!

I think its been overpriced for years especially since they incorporated the Live Action Show (which I'm not interested in) into the standard ticket price. However, I treat it as a day out to socialise in the off season so grin & bear the cost.

skentellytubby · 16 Jan 2010, 18:28 (Ref:2614341)

Yep, that's fair enough. Same here, really. I suppose that's why they get away with charging £30 or so, because they know a lot of people are starting to get withdrawal symptoms or its a good time for a catch up.

Every year I come home in a grump saying "last bloody time I go there, waste of bloody time" and yet there I was - again - this morning with £30 in my grubby mitt!
