Not long to go now!!

[oukie]

I would love to come to this but im working and on call (so can't nick out ) Im less than an hour down to motorway

[JeffD]

Going on Sat (already got my tickets) so will pop over and say hello! :-)

Surprised neither IMOC or MR2OC dont have stands there in their own right too - I've only ever seen MR2DC folks there.

[AW11 Forever..!]

Attended the opening day yesterday, superb and what an amazing show, 5 halls full of superb classics and sports cars. Seriously you will need a week to get right round, unfortunately I could only attend the 1 day

Look out for our stand in hall 4, Jinxy's mica blue is looking absolutely pristine now sporting his new personal number plate.

Oh and who's this mooching around our stand, surely its not Mike Brewer and Ed China from the hit TV series Wheeler Dealers, no, it can't be, read all about it in the March issue of the Mk1 Club magazine!





Don't forget their new series Wheeler Dealers on the Road is on now.

Me and my dad (Boyzdad on the forums) also attended yesterday and had his car on the stand along with some very shiny MK1's, my dads one looked a bit out of place as he washed it before he came and of course on the way to the NEC it got dirty . So we had to give it a little polish whilst we were there and all was good.

It was a great day out with LOADS of classic cars of all ages and types. Also including a big autojumble where i bought a few brochures and press photos of the MK1. To sum up it was exellent and great fun, never seen so many cars under one roof! .

Here are some pictures i took (the black one is my dads and sorry i did'nt get a pic of everyones MR2 )








And heres some other cars at the show :








Also thanks to all the people at the Mr2 Mk1 Club stand for letting us host the car and an exellent day out

Grrrr.

Drove up today, M5 was slow, M42 had an accident on it and was closed just off the M5. Had to crawl round the back way from Longbridge. Took us til gone 12:30* to get to join the back of the mile long queue of stationary traffic to get into the car park, after sitting around for 15 mins did a U-turn and came home.

*3:30hrs to do a trip we can normally do in 1:15.

Oh and who's this mooching around our stand, surely its not Mike Brewer and Ed China from the hit TV series Wheeler Dealers, no, it can't be, read all about it in the next Mk1 Club magazine!

Yep got back home around 9.30pm yesterday absolutely knackered !!!, what a great show !! & thanks go to those few members who made the effort to come & support our stand & stay for a chat, Mike & Jo Sheavills yet again made the huge journey from Durham to support us its a shame you guys couldnt stay longer we managed to recruit quite a few new members & even some old ones who have now decided to buy a mk1 again & get involved , a huge thanks must go to Stuart Kynock who organised this event, did all the running around & kindly put me up on Thursday night & to all those other members who helped immensly over the weekend by recruiting & providing cars & generally chatting about the cars to the public, those mentioned above ,the always enthusiastic Wayne, Debs, Ken, Garreth, Matt, Richard, Pam & Cyril ( mr2 only mag ) thanks guys & look forward to a bigger & better stand next year , Jinx

P.S
we all know who's the biggest Wheeler Dealer out of these three

[AW11 Forever..!]

Jinx,

Thanks for the kind words ( about being the biggest wheeler dealer, I'll do anything for a monkey, £500 )

I understand you, Wayne and myself will be the main organisers of next years show. I've got huge plans for the show if thats the case. Waynes been discussing budgets with Stuart, we can get together at the Xmas bash and get some stuff down on paper.

Like Jinx said thanks to everyone involved in running and organising the show and to the members who attended the stand and indeed to our newly joined members, make sure you spread the word.

[waynestoyotamr2]

Mik - Stuart will still be the show organiser!

Jinxy, myself and yourself will have an input, Stuart agreed next year is the year to take things to the next level.

There is alot of planning to be done and we need all the information in one place (I think I know just the place!! ) but I am sure between us (us, I mean every member, not just us 3!) we can put on a cracking stand.

[Pam - MR2 Only]

Just want to say a BIG thank you for inviting us on to your stand over the weekend at the NEC we really had a great time, we gained like yourselves some new members.

So thanks everyone - Stuart, Ken, Richard, Wayne, Mike, Doris, Fred, Jinx and of course the ladies - can't wait to see you again - thats if you want us again - we weren't too bad were we

Pam and Cyril
The older generation of the MR2 Only Team
