Anyone been/going to this

Just got back :icon_butt: Really good day although we had freebies - don't know as I'd have paid £25 entrance although since it was preview day there were supposedly less people about - think its only £10 on other days. Usual names there with shiney motors and a few concept cars - Subaru have a stand although there's been no mention of them on any emails I've had or even on the map you get. The new 380 was on display although I must be honest and say that on looks alone it didn't scream out 'buy me' - sorry guys. There is an enclosure of beautiful Ferraris, Zondas etc but no sign of the Veyron. However there is a seperate section somewhere of 'classics' which you have to pay £99 to get into! Perhaps thats where it is?

There are the usual trade stands - signed up for subscription of Autocar mag for £60ish and received smart selection of Autoglym products in valet case worth nearly £50. Could have Bolle shades instead worth £60.

A few of the manufacturers had owners lounges serving soft drinks, tea etc and you got in by showing your ignition key - Vauxhall had some nice ice cream! Sadly nothing on the Subaru stand. Take along any old keys you might have indoors! Beer tent outside along with the usual foodstuffs. Very few car guides around - seems they have totty taking details if you're interested. Said totty have no knowledge of their product though - there was a Suzuki there with reverse cameras in place of wing mirrors - I said to her I assumed the image was produced on a screen in the car then ..."yes, you see that shiney disc, next to the black thing on the dashboard...." :lol:

Outdoors theres a Land Rover course and Mazda test track - fastest time coupled with points for technique etc etc wins their Mazda 2 sport for the year - there's queues for this so best head there first thing - straight throught the hall and out the other end!

Finally, I have a complimentary ticket admitting a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children) valid for any weekday to the end of the show on 3 August - a saving of £25 - if anyone can use it?

Nearly forgot.......take a look at the electric car stand ;);):icon_butt:

Going to this tomorrow, didn't realise this was the 1st day open to the public, so i'd imagine its going to be heaving.

Anyone else going with the free ticket link I posted a while back?

Forgot about that, a bit late now :lol:

I've still got 2 tickets left if your interested as a couple of my mates pulled out. There very scruffy and not sure that they'll be accepted, but could print them off again if i've got enough Ink!
