Friday at the NEC

Sorry it's taken a while, had a few pics to sort thru...

Despite paying almost double the Sat/Sun ticket price, we still prefer the Friday as it's usually a lot easier to get around and if anything, this year it seemed a lot easier (ie more empty) than usual.

Good also to see the NEC have changed their infamous orange lights at long last, so no excuse for dodgy pics now, apart from the usual operator error :roll:

And although we didn't leave till kicking out time (6.30), by the time we got back to the car park they were already closing the ticket booths and gate where we were parked so we just got out without paying the £12. Another reminder to anyone reading this, not to bother buying a ticket before going in as they aren't always collected! Makes up for paying £30 to get in I spose!

Anyhoo, here's a few pics... Americans first...

Absolutely brilliant pictures there - you can also see the difference the new lighting has made.

I also like the fact that with the long exposure everyone else is a blur except Steve Billson - do does not move fast with or without his Polara!!

Top job, Twinnies!! :thumbright: :thumbright: :thumbright: :thumbright:

Great photos and yes the colour are correct for once.

But I didn't take any pictures as it was busy yesterday.
