I know it's a bit early, but I just wanted to find out:
Who's going?
If you are, what day? Trade/press (Friday), Saturday, or 'screaming kids' day (Sunday!)
And do you go to see the cars, the stars, or to buy goodies? (or all three!)
Do you watch the 'Thunderdome' feature? I saw it the first time in '96 and was blown away by the noise and Tiffs 'Do-nuts'! (oo-er!  ) Is it me, or did it get progressively worse? Will you be watching this time?
I WILL be going this year.
I've been every year since 1995, but I missed last year.
So. Up for it?

Count me in Sparky I'm not bothered whether it's Saturday or Sunday, whenever everyone else is going.
As for the Thunderdome, last year's was pretty rubbish - and I'm even saying that when it had John Cleland and Gwyndaf Evans

We have our tickets for the Sunday and midday in the Thunderdrome. I must admit I was not that impressed with the entertainment last year so hopefully this years will be better. We get the tickets so we have somewhere to sit down for a while!
It's pretty big - halls 6-12 and 20!!
Last year it was nice to meet some old mates while wandering around and the new autograph book was aired. It is now nearly full.

Don't you have to work on Saturdays these days?

My plans have changed since I last spoke to you, Mr M... and the new plans don't involve Saturdays or Sundays at all if all works out...  As for things at the moment, I really don't give a flying toss whether or not i'm supposed to be working on a Saturday... this is demonstrated by the time of the day i'm posting this message...

I think I said too much already. Remember what I once said about people who I know visiting this forum... and me not wanting them to know certain stuff...
My lips are now sealed on the matter

The website for this is Autosport International
There's also going to be bikes there this year, but to be honest, at the moment the website doesn't make any of it sound very inspiring, so I might not bother.

We'll be there on Friday, and if anyone wants to knock back a beer and chew the fat, or if you would like to get content from the show early just give me a Private Message and I'll be in touch.

I'm hoping to attend on the Saturday, with Reb Appleton and Rick Pearson. But that's still just a plan and will depend on how the finances look after Christmas and whether I can get a cheap place to stay in the area. (The plane tickets are really cheap at that time of year fortunately.)
If I do go I plan to see everything that's going on.
