You must show me some time

Thanks Pete - there's a clue in the last Maserati pic, if you look carefully

Cheers Jeff, from what I've seen of that place, it's not a bad alternative

Thanks Steve, useful site, that.

Except for 63 polaras, it says: "There are no products in this category."

Rob your pictures were better than being there on Sunday (it was busy) so no chance of taking any pictures.

Thanks for putting them up.

Great pics thanks

Love the Maseratis and the Alpine

I watched that 'Blown A-Way' being pinstriped at Penguin a few weeks ago.

I was there on the Saturday and couldn't get any decent photos due to the crowds. After 3 hours of TRYING to move around I gave up and left. Had real problems finding my way around and just couldn't move at times. It was horrible!

I did manage to find the MMA stand though and it looked really good and was drawing a lot of attention.

We chose to go on the Friday this year, despite it costing twice as much and despite the traffic being twice as bad, because it's less crowded on a Friday.
I'm sure it gets busier every year, on all days, but Friday is especially noticeable. It started out, about 10 years ago, as an additional 'trade' day, with the idea of it being less crowded - hence the higher ticket price.

Worth it tho, especially if you want to take any pics

Steve,
Thanks for the ebay link - I just typed 1963 Dodge in and found this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/DMT-MOPAR-63-Po ... 0406114043

(hope it works) Cheap too.
Looks like just what we need. I'll get it bought.

I wasted £6.50 on a roll of material then...

Cheers!
Stu

What do they charge? I never had to pay for any of those shows. Always got a free pass.
