Everyone could meet on the a43 which is where you come off the m1 and where most people should be coming through to get in to Northampton...

Our mini convoy was a bit disappointing as no one other than missy turned up at 7 at toddington  :fighting:

Good to meet you both look forward to seeing you again on the 27th  :happy2:

The show was a nice day out with lovely weather and a lot of lovely cars  :drool:

I think my favs were the black mk6 GTI with black wheels and lambo brakes, the mk2 with the r32 engine and Ricky's yellow weapon with those sexy 19 oz's and white lambo stoppers  :congrats:

Found jay the bear wandering around with camera in hand, car was looking mint in the corner, was nice to meet you properly and have a quick chat  :happy2:

I dunno i had a good time at both, atmosphere at both was good,

Although the actual show at EE wasn't great but the car parks made it.

Annoyed me a little how they only got picky as to what they let in later on. So there was stunning cars in far away car park, but someone had borrowed there hans polo and got into a good carpark.

Was a really good day , best show of year so far.
Agreed I think for me tho alot of that was because of the build up to the show
