We quickly walked round nearly all the show before 9.30. It made the rest of the day pleasant as it got quite busy very quickly and we had a more leisurely look around. For anyone going tomorrow, the beer truck in the middle of the bike section sells what must be the world's best apple pie. |

Jerry, but only if you're entered in one of the MGCC racing championships. I normally enter the 2 driver enduro but that's not available to us this year :-(

I was considering the cost of the day out, a 6 hour round trip and £60 petrol, the family tickets etc . . . . a day off, the show the people etc are all fab, but having spent 8 hours on the road yesterday delivering and collecting cars I really can't be arsed!

I was actually faily surprised that our trip down from North of Manchester - leaving about 7.30, and setting off back at about 4.30 was a lot easier than usual, about 2 hours 15 minutes down and a few minutes longer on the way back - admittedly using the M6 Toll on the return....but for a Friday that was very good! I think its a result of the recession cutting traffic.......and my trusty old lpg-powered Alfa 164 even makes it relatively affordable
Enjoyed the show, as usual - always a great clubby atmosphere (apart from the team trying to persuade me to switch to N-power, I think it was....its a car show, not Ideal home!), and as a dyed in the wool Alfa nut I loved all the old (and not-so-old) Alfas on display. Renewed my CSCC membership and entered first race of the season at Snetterton, so that's that done....... Anyone else think 750MC stand looked at a bit underwhelming this year.....3 cars with no info and a big banner advertising a scrapyard.......? |

Please take into account the fact that 750 were also running a race meeting at Snetterton this weekend, which may be the reason for their resources being somewhat stretched.

Well I have just got back and enjoyed it and it cost me £10 towards the diesel and £15 for the ticket (bought in advance) which I didnt need as someone had left me a CTCRC pass on the gate but forgot to tell me!!! I would like to find a testing venue for £25 including petrol, oh I did spend a further £4 on a seriously good breakfast bap but as I would have spent that at testing at least it dont count.

Yep, had a great day out too. Got seconded on to a stand in lieu of my free ticket but then I did buy breakfast to make up for it.
Bumped into quite a few peeps, some from here, many from elsewhere but great to meet so many in one day |

I did realise that when I looked on their website to see if they'd referred to the Race Retro stand....so I guess that might be a factor.....just seemed unusual - I remember 750MC stands normally being buzzing...... |
