If I see you Dangerous i'll walk straight past as i'm shy

Hope you have a good one.

What's parking like for this? Got man flu, so will see how I feel Friday then make a decision then

Lowe · 7 Jan 2009 at 19:59

Won't be going this year, was really disappointed last year for what it cost.

Was fun when I helped a friend work there on a stand, but these days it's really geared to stick on Halfords style tat

Roll on Friday.

Beers & Curry is always a great night! Saturday morning might be errr

Bleh, bought tickets a while ago for this, worked out £37 each for the paddock passes, never been before - dragging 2 mates along as well, hoping it's better than some of the comments here suggest!

Going to the 11am arena show, so at least can bail early if it's particularly bad

Nah the live show is very good. If all else fails that will be good!

What time is everyone generally aiming at getting there for? When I went to the mph show there in 07 it was heaving and took absolutely ages to get in there. I guess it's worth going earlier too so you're not in a carpark that's nearer the sea than the arena! Getting there for 9/9.30 should be alright I'm presuming?

Yeah that should be fine - I'm getting there for about 8:15 tomorrow morning but I have to sign in and pick up media passes.

I was meant to be going today to see a few clients but have too much work on, so just let my colleague. Wuldn't have mind seeing kers in action.

Some pics for you all

Dangerous · 10 Jan 2009 at 16:08

Little video - Main one coming soon.

Duke · 10 Jan 2009 at 18:52

Was a good day

Better than last year I think. Its just a shame they dont make things one way around the stalls as it gets annoying walking around people all the time.

The main show was also generally better than last year as well.

Pics a bit later (now I have a decent camera

)

went today , watched the live arena at 11am , was good

those rear engine mini's just wheelie around :eek:

, also watched the mercs getting a good thrashing in the testing area

Good event!

Housey · 10 Jan 2009 at 20:43

Wouldn't want to be near the place on a public day because the crowds just wind me up but Friday was splendid with a couple of thousand milling around, loads of seats in the live arena and a much more relaxed atmosphere. Still awful coffee at each and every outlet however!
