Autosport International at the NEC

[Carsreunited]

Apologies for the late notice on this but it has crept up on me without me realising.<br>
<br>
The above event takes place this weekend (Well Friday as well if you are a Trader) and I am told it is the place you go to if you want to hunt out some real bargains such as a £400 crash helmet for £150. That type of thing.<br>
<br>
Anyway, have a look for yourself. I'm going to be there on the Saturday. Any takers, let me know and maybe we can meet up for a coffee which will probably cost the best part of £5<br>

I should be there - a sales engineer I know who happens to be an ex formula 2000 champion and is racing in the Caterham race series this year is getting me gratis ticket. <br>
<br>
I recommend going to the show arena - brilliant display last year of rally cars (and they had Jo Guest and a dozen rubber clad dancers to distract from the cars).<br>
<br>
Mail me and I'll let you know my mobile number and we can meet up for a session on the kart track. gjs1234@hotmail.com

Having spent the vast majority of the day surrounded by max power oiks, my powers of spelling have deteriorated.<br>
<br>
On a serious note, when you could find your way past the spotty oiks taking pictures of the scantilly clad corporate teasers with their camera phones it became quite an enjoyable day. I wasn't prepared for all the small children that most people seemed to have dragged along.I've got 2 of my own but wouldn't have dragged them along because there was absolutely nothing for them to do.<br>
<br>
Anyway, I bought a few things which I'll add to my diary page. I'd thoroughly reccommend the day to anyone that goes with a list of things that they need as there are big savings to be had.<br>
<br>
The Coys car auction was quite interesting and I hung around for a couple of hours to watch. Here are some of the more interesting results. These are hammer prices and don't include the other bits that get stuck on.<br>

1970 E type S2 Fhc (v clean) £11,500.00<br>
1996 Xj6 Chausseur 450 Tornado £17,500.00<br>
(apparently 90k when new!!!Its an xj6!!!So what if the engine has been tuned!)<br>
1976 XJ12 coupe. (mot but tatty) £600.00<br>
1999 Marcos Mantis (race car that won the 1999 challenge and fitted with new engine.loads of spares) £12,600.00<br>
