General Restoration Show - NEC 28/29 March 2015

I did`nt know the NEC had ANPR Camera`s, who told you that one?

I lost "christine" 2 years running. lost my bearings (no comment off you gavin!):eek:


On the entrance/exit to every car park and all the way up the roads that link them. Unless they are just CCTV made to look like ANPR. Parking was £10 last time and you pay at a booth and give your reg number so I guessed they stuck it into the machine to not fine you.

On the other hand I may be completely wrong.
 
I enjoyed the show thanks for the tickets Palio

Highlight had to be the odd little Renault thing that looked like a panda clone designed over the phone!

My day was sadly made by 3 Maestro's including a van like a used to drive for work. :)

Oh and good to catch up with the usual suspects too ;)
 
Really enjoyed the show but only just back in the land of the living.

Great to meet up with everyone, and thanks Gavin for the organisation once again (y) Can you do the practical challenge yourself next year though so that we have a better chance of winning. ;)

Do you think it will be the same challenge again?!

I think probably not is the answer - there must be someone else to give it a go though!

I did record it - do you want me to post it (looks easy on FB, but never tried it?). It might take a couple of weeks to Youtube as it's quite long - just saying..... (y)

Yes happy for you to post it, would like to see it myself. :eek:

youtube is so much more easy..

Thanks John,

Not sure the world is ready, but it is available to the world!

I've done Youtube before, but tried this late last night. Instead of having to connect my phone to the computer and leave it to upload for hours, this did it direct in under 2 minutes - quite impressive for a 15 min video.

Not sure there's enough demand for me to bother to YouTube it too, but I might do later. (y)
 
Thought I'd better post some piccies up :eek:
