I went last year and it was good apart from the m3/4 display where they were bouncing the car off the red limiter for most of the day, got annoying really quickly.

Shame right next to them was the 3.0 CSL and CSI stand.

I didn't go on the car club display for some reason and ended up on top of the hill.

Your space on the hill looks better than down in the mosh pit, to be honest. Room to stretch out.

I read about that M3/4 guy on another forum, too.
Wasnt this also the show where a guy fell out the rear of an M4 convertible, while leaving the show?

How does exhibitor entry work, you're required to be a member of any random forum/club/facebook group to get an allocated space within their allocated area?
Gaydon already have these groups and their areas defined?

It wasn't one it was a big group. All young lads without much mechanical sympathy. I think it caused a bit of an issue so hopefully they will stamp it out. Was the only bad thing about it otherwise the shear number of cars and models was amazing.

You can get in to exhibit with a standard ticked but if you part of a specific group that has a pitch you usual get in touch with them. BMW car club was there which im a member of but didn't realise so just went on the hill but there were zones with all the different models in their own areas which was a better place to be.

Quite a few of the members from here were there and caught up with them I think all went in under the car club but there are others like members of Zpost etc

I sent Luke a PM on Wednesday but he hasn't read it yet!

I'm not on Facebook (and don't want to be) so was wondering if anyone knows how to contact him?

TIA. :thumbsup:

I have messaged Luke to see if there are any spaces also, he did seem to say it was full but he was trying to secure further spaces so will see what he says. I may just go as a visitor if not.
