I had a great couple of days and although no one car stood out for me I did appreciate the work that had gone into a lot of the cars there!  :happy2:

Del, great to meet you fella and thanks for the sit in as the detail and workmanship was out of this world and if I can ever tie Luke down I'd love him to work his magic on my Recaros!  :happy2:

Was also great to see your enthusiasm for the scene, very refreshing and made me open my eyes a bit to what was around me as you can begin to take it all for granted!  :happy2:

Will try and get the few pics I took up later!

PS great night at the Park Inn again lads!   :grin: :drinking:

From the Pics ive seen there doesn't appear to be much OEM+ going on from the newer cars, I didn't go to the show but that is just my impression.

Im looking forward to Spring Fest however  :happy2:

i had a great time on the night before, but on the whole found the show to be disappointing.  T'was me first show too.  I like OEM/OEM+.

Stretched look is not for me.  But i did like the quality of some of the trimming on show was just  :drool:.

the night out was enough of a reason to pop up. 

For info,  My car binned the code for the RNS, so I had to travel 280 miles listening to F'all.  until I tried a 2nd reset of the system about 7 miles from home, and all worked again -  :fighting: :fighting2: :fighting2: :fighting2:

slept well last night after MrP kept me awake warning those ships!   :mad: :drinking:

 :ashamed:

Nice to see a few of you yesterday.

The car I was most interested in was the blue 4-mo Bora track car tucked away on the Dodo Juice stand, had a long chat with the owner and a good look around. Superb build.... but then I guess I'm weird like that.

Show cars I'm not really that fussed about, unless there's some good craftsmanship in there, and I have to say that chalk blue trim was beautiful. Simon's MKII on the C-GTI stand was lovely too... can't think of much else I stopped and looked hard at.

so why wouldnt they let us in but theyl let a bunch of beetles in, im sure people would prefere to look at shiney mk5's rather than those. There was also candy turbo's old ed30 in there, why? its completly standard except some brembo stickers  :signLOL:

just shows its who you know rather than what, or even what your car looks like!  :sad1:

You've only just noticed that's how it works, Joe?

Full of scenesters with jaunty hats and busted haircuts - I'd have been p*ssed if I'd have paid to get in.

yep, there was a lot that needed some attention.


The thing is, a massive majority would benefit so so much from just a days enhancement detail costing between 250-300.

Thats nothing when you think how much some of these guys have spent on the car!

you know your a detailer when even steph is goin "oh my god jay, have you seen the buffer trails on that?"

haha!

the last few years i have been down, the lights in the hall were'nt exactly forgiving for paintwork, you would expect a higher standard however for "show-cars"

How DID some show cars get past the entrance!!

They asked initially for pics of the car over the Internet for the show and this initially gave me some confidence that the quality would be A1, but seriously, I wouldn't have had some of the inside cars on outside stands :sick:
