Hey, thats me over on the right of that pic. What did you do to my face .
He, he, must have had my camera shy mask on

Seriously though, I wasnt really overlly impressed with the show. Outside stands were pretty poor (although the weather didnt really help).

Oh and if anyone was wondering why the Golf Generations display (the main advertised feature) was missing a MK3, its was supposed to be one of my mates however they wouldnt let him in cus he had 1/4 tank petrol. They were saying it had to be on the red. Think thats why there were alot of gaps on the indoor stands

Oh yeah, and the £3.50 for the parking was a proper rip off, I just told em to get lost and parked over the road on the council car park, which was free

I'll post my pics up when I get round to downloading them. Hopefully tonight. Dont know how good they are yet, as they kept turning out blurry with the flash on for some reason, so had to turn the flash off and stand VERY still

Eh. Thats sounds well stupid! Theywouldn't let him inside cus he had too much petrol in his car.

Only reason i could think why they'd do that was if there was a high fire risk! Seems bizzare to me!

Looks like there was some seriously nice motors there. Some really nice pics guys.

And Scott, might just be personal opinion but your car looks much nicer with out the carbon bonnet. Really does look nice and shiney!!!

The organisers had a rule in place that all cars on display inside the centre had to have 5 litres or less of fuel in the petrol tank, fire and safety regulations IIRC. My pics of the outside club display stands, and a couple from the car park, will be on soon

its blocking it yeah but having no effect on cooling etc, lower vent ducts to the cat and downpipe for cooling and the upper grill feeds the radiator plenty of air...

the 5 litre of fuel rule was a joke, we got there saturday afternoon i had 1/4 of tank left and 2 mates had 1/2 and 3/4 tank when we got there! (they spent 2 hours on the M54 wasting petrol just to get in!! - 120 extra miles!!) luckily i parked on slope 5 mins and got straight in as the needle dropped to jus above red!

if a car was goin to catch fire it would do with 5 litres or 50, made it a bit of a farce! lots of empty spots which i think were largely owing to this!
