International Autosport Show, NEC

[911hillclimber]

As ever, went to the Trade/Competitor's day which includes the Engineering show.
More expensive than ever, always say I won't go next time, but....can't resist.

A mate messaged me to say he went today and parking was £16!!!

I was there at the beginning of the week for a different show and even the hotel parking next to the NEC was £12 per day

[911hillclimber]

Yep, £28 in, £16 parking.
£7.50 for a coffee and bun, £8 for a tea and Panini at lunch.

Spent £15 on garage consumables needed for my 911 re-build.

I did, however, drive from the depth of home just after the rush hour, got gently driven into in the traffic, drove down the M5/M40/M42 without stopping, into the NEC, and parked and got on a bus that left 60 seconds later to entrance #1, all without a queue.
Getting out was the same!

Bicester could lean a few tricks, but the NEC cost is high and the attendance massive, someone is getting a good tickle from this.

Whenever I go to the NEC (which is rare these days) I go by train - there's an indoor link between the NEC & Birmingham Intl station ...

For dog show, people park at the airport, presumably because it’s cheaper !!

This is what stops me from going

Was that lama or whatever it’s called? Sent two of my guys for a nosey but not caught up with them yet. The farmer down the road said it was a bit of a jumble..

I was thinking of heading to the Autosport show after work tomorrow but it’s £45 just to drop in for a couple of hours by the time you cover entry, parking and a coffee.. ..I just can’t justify it, especially when I only really want to visit two companies and drop in on a mates stand to say hi!

Yes Lamma show. It’s Just moved from its previous base at Peterborough show ground. Fantastic show this year compared to standing in a tent

I think Plantworx/Plantworks has moved from Bruntingthorpe where its been for the last couple of years (2min from my house so very handy! ) to Peterborough showground (which isn't) this year

Lots of BMW stuff there in many forms, from mild to wild as they say.

And what is that Porsche 935 nonsense about. Looks like contrived rubbish to me!

Enjoyed the show and got a great helmet at a good price.
