Steve- I did mean to say hello but I completely forgot, and then I came to see you just before I left, but you were heading off into the arena for the twist off! How did that go? An engine to TDi for!

We are still here as it is often more civilised to pack up at leisure and go home in the morning. We can't shove the caravan back into storage after 5 either. It was lovely having a beer and tea sat out in the evening sunshine.
Shame yesterday wasn't like today either but the sunshine being despatched from Dubai was delayed in transit. Big Cry

Now all we have to do is go home unpack and start packing for the HUBB

I can't help as I only managed to stray as far as the ice cream van. But if you don't get any joy why not give Kelly at live promotions a ring and ask her because the published list of who was where won't be much use considering the number of folk who got moved.

Are you sure that they are handed, the last set I got would fit either side.

Definitely handed, it's for a 110 csw so the bit that slots under the doors are longer for the front than the 2nd row doors Big Cry

Well the show is finished. I was there from Friday until today, camping over. It didn't start too well for me. The journey over there should have taken about two hours, but instead took nearly seven hours Shocked The M62 was a car park after a truck crash! Got there, pitched up, had some food and then it started to rain. Saturday morning, it did nothing but rain until about half twelve. I got soaked through to the skin Big Cry Thanks very much to BAS for selling me an umbrella! Embarassed

Today was much better weather wise, and I actually caught the sun a little bit! Packed up and was gone by three o'clock ish. I bought some new side steps, and then a few other little bits.

It was nice to see some other forum members there, although I didn't speak to everyone. I meant to see Big Steve and Pam, but I didn't Embarassed Both 90's looked great though! And Steve's sounded great!

A forum member was camping about 20 metres away from me, but I didn't see the sticker until early this morning! A grey 110 USW, with private plate?


Did it begin with K5? With a roof rack, winch and raised air intake?

We had a good time at the show too - met new people and caught up with some folks we hadn't seen in years!

I enjoyed chatting to people who came to visit us on our club stand and, talking about our club on the PA system in the main arena! Cool stuff Thumbs Up Our blog - http://landytravels.com/

Visited Sunday - after seeing the forecast for the weekend and pleasantly surprised to see the amount of hard standing available to walk around on. Ground conditions in the main were pretty good.

Have to say the number of trade stands was not quite as large as I had hoped and i was expecting to get some Mammouth wing top chequer plate but didn't find anyone selling it.

Also disappointed that the main dealer there, Armstrong Massey, didn't have any 110s on display.

Footfall seemed quite low in the morning but picked up considerably in the afternoon.

Some photos from the day, starting with the car park - sometimes the most interesting place to wander around:

Fantastic paint job, not sure if the rest was finished or still a work in progress:

Absolutely cracking 90:

Hard to know what to say about this but it obviously worked for a living:

and then into the show:

Flatdog's DCPU camper. Young chap I spoke to was very helpful:

Rusty wheelnuts - the debate continues as to whether it's best to cover:

Maybe not to everyone's taste but looked very well finished and loved the Recaro seats in the back as well as the front. RRS wheels?:

A real snorkle:

and interesting to see they mount main tube on both edges of the windscreen pillar:

as well as using a spacer when mounting the sump guard but not sure why:
