Show bit was crap but there seemed to be plenty going on in the autojumbles. And yep those new wheels are the sex!

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

It was a rip off to be honest. They put the prices up every year and you paid £10 for what was simply a large shopping hall. I picked up some panels and luckily I get discounts at certain suppliers but the some of the prices on the autojumble were astronomical! There was one autojumbler with a long section along the back wall where all the old Minis were parked inside and the amount of people who walked away saying 'what a rip off' and the like was a joke, they wanted £60 for a second hand metro dizzy that had just been re-painted.

Saw quite a few mates and met some people off here which was cool but other than that it was abit wank. In all honesty though, Bingley has just turned into a money making scheme for BMC.

I apologise to Johnnysti for keeping him talking for an hour on two seperate occasions *happy*

Carls 'FN' wheelsare indeed 'Fooking Nice'!!:)

I don't know, the show is what you make it. I personally thinks its ok, since its right at the begining of the year so you can get plenty of parts that you need all in one place, under a roof, in the warm to either get started or finish your project early in the year. If I saved £10 on the stuff I bought at the show due to show discounted parts, then its only cost me a bacon sandwich and a couple of coffees *happy* I have no interest in the shiney cars and never even looked at one, other than walking by.

There is a load of shite though in that auto jumble.

Thought it was a good first show of the year, but agree it's overpriced.

More interested to see what Simon has done to the block!!

Agreed, standard Bingley crap, but good to see a few of you lot. Top marks for Carl and Tom for the best stand of the show in my opinion , can't wait to send some pennies their way.

I enjoyed it. I had a beer whilst drooling over Carl's new wheels. What more could you want?

I secumed to temptation and bought a S.C. stainless LCB. Even walked of with a wing for the van *smiley*

Good to see loads of regular TM members and meet a few new ones.

SC stuff looked good but Carl's stand has got me thinking in the 4hr homeward drive

Yep was a good show with plenty of bits, got most of what I wanted in fact I saved loads on what I would class as normal prices.

Love the force rims, took a good look at the sc injector setup, and liked the are stand blowthrough setup.

Very busy though - didn't like that much.

Shame Richard couldn't make it.

twas ok..sorted a 5th wheel from Carl and dropped off a heavy lump of metal that hopefully will be much lighter when I get it back :)

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Wasnt too bad, although i had to drain my tank because nobody told me i wasnt allowed any more than 1/4 tank until i was given my car pass (BALLACHE.)
Bought a few bits & bobs, and a block off sprocket, so im another piece closer to the final product :)


I almost came when i saw the force racing stand, about the only stand worth having a proper good look at, despite there not being all that much on it.

So tempted to forget buying a new front end and roof, and buy some of thier wheels instead *oh well*

It was a good show for picking up all the parts to help with the winter Mods. Cant beleive the prices that people were trying to sell stuff on the autojumble though!
