Hiya davy, I'm going on Monday 21st. Was there yesterday at the Classic car show with my Dad, embarrassingly my first, second and later cars were all there. Its official........ I'm nearly as old as Stuart.
Enjoy your day out Davy, I flew down yesterday from Edinburgh. If you want to buy something but can't get it back on the plane give me a shout as I am driving down next week in case I buy lots of stuff I don't need and could get it back up the road for you.
My first car, an MG Metro Turbo. Ahhh...........

I had one of these as well , in silver. Traded it for a MK2 XR2 in white.
I had a canary yellow one. Rust bucket. The exhaust had a hole in it under the engine and the floor was so badly rotten the fumes would come through the floor if stuck in traffic. Some idiot tried to steal it once but ran off half way through smashing up the ignition. The fix was more than the car was worth so I hot wired it for over a year until the clutch went (I kept driving it for a while longer crunching the gears) and then sold it for scrap. They don't make em like they used to, thankfully.

71? I was only 2 years old then, was that no the year you finished serving your time?

Sorry for the thread hijack Davy but taking the piss out of Stu takes priority. Hahaha
My Mum worked in Dagenham for Ford PR in the '60's (as did a number of other family members over the years, get together's resembled a Ford car lot) and knew Jim Clark, Graham Hill and Roger Clark, she'd often get lifts to work in Lotus Cortinas and Mustangs, unfortunately I then came along and screwed the whole thing up! Re Metros, they were pretty crap, I had the 'eco' 1.0 HLE which had high gearing enabling it with a scary 105mph top speed if you stood on the accelerator down a long enough hill, mind you it's lack of power and skinny tyres made it a brilliant and fun tool in the snow...

Davy, I am going on Saturday too. I'll PM you.
I'll be there on Saturday too guys with my lad, we'll be looking at all the woman on each stand to see who's got the best lol
Went to the nec on Saturday and didn't really see anything to make me want to swap the Beemer in the same price range, not to keen on the styling of the new gixer and the new blade is a bit bland also. If money was no object it would have to be the norton followed closely by the Ducati super legerra.
