Like flogging a dead horse mate unfortunately.
The NEC is without doubt the biggest show any of you will go to. It is a cracking day out, and although not cheap, I think is good value for what you get. You won't see a bigger selection of cool cars anywhere else, auto jumble, stalls, talks, restoration demos, you name it they have it.
Get yourself to the show on either the Friday Saturday or Sunday and pop in and say hello to the lads showing their cars and flying flag for OldSkoolFord.
