i went yesterday and i have to agree the main hall was very empty i had hoped to see a lot more suppliers i was even ready to buy my dampers if i could find them at the right price but there was no one to buy from !!! and to be honest the displays from the clubs were few and far between i was very disappointed

Though the same too. Wasnt sure if it was just the saturday but outside was more empty space than in outer space

Managed to pick up various bits that I was after but definitely less choice than last year

I went with a shoping list and the accountant even gave me some white fivers to go in my pocket, and permission to spend them, with next to nothing there on my list to spend them on.
And just like an accountant she comes up with , well if you didnt need all your budget this time I am cutting it for the next one.

Back in 98 when I built my other car going to a show was the only place to get most of the gear. It would take the whole day just to see everything.

I went to Stoneleigh this year and it was tiny in comparison to how I remember.

The internet and especially eBay means these guys dont need the shows anymore and their business isnt as seasonal so they dont bother going.
