Some photos below from the the 'Autosport Racing Car Show' at the NEC today.
A few race and rally Classic Mini's and New MINI's were scattered around the various stands (pics below) although it was quite hard to get good quality pictures with the crowds of people constantly in the way!

Also managed to have a long chat with David Vizard on the Mountune stand and he kindly signed my 1977 copy of his famous 'How to Modify your Mini' book!

I don't even need to read that book, i can tell from the front cover to just cover everything in red paint
But cool anyway, nice opportunity for you, and it must be cool to be that close to 33 EJB

It was a good show, seemed a lot smaller than other years. Wasn't impressed with the live action arena and take food its so expensive.

I just got back too it was defiantly smaller than other years - and ticket prices took a bi hike this year.

Good day out though

[mab01uk]

Yes, high food prices, £8 to park, £32 per ticket + petrol from London............not a cheap day out but usually some interesting displays if you don't go every year and did seem smaller than I remember..

Hope you and Kev had a good time.
