Anyone planning on heading to Autosport/The Performance Car Show this year?
It's at the NEC - Thurs 14th & Fri 15th Jan for trade; Sat 16th & Sun 17th for public.
Tickets are £35 each, or £12 in Tesco Clubcard vouchers. Parking is also £12 for the day.
I'm thinking about going Saturday, but don't fancy paying almost £50 and don't have enough Clubcard points

Also got your fuel on top of that. Starts to become an expensive day out.

Yeah, also looking Saturday, can potentially save on parking if you meet us for breakfast in Star City.

Have been trying to get suitable flights down but looks impractical from my location.

I've never been that impressed with it for the money paid. Live Action Arena is often good though.
Not been for a few years though.

Still .... I will be sure to put plenty on drinks on the boss' credit card in the evenings.

Find its just the same old cars turning up that go to all these other events. Once you've seen them once you've seen it all.

Wanted to go but it's too soon after Christmas to be splashing out!
Where is good? Been Trax and Renault World Series last couple of years.

Slightly disappointed if I'm honest, same type of thing, a lot of stands in the same places with the same stuff on.
£36 to get in, £12 to park, £2.40 for a bottle of Coke.

Yo lad just read this after texting you.
We are still debating to come down.
What was the star of the show then?
The price has really put us off too

Ended up getting in for a tenner. Didn't really make the most of it as was out last night and never made it to bed. Good day though, some exotic bits there.

I always feel the same with all of these shows. Used to love them as a kid but find they seems to be just full of companys all selling the same stuff as said. Also a lot less interactive and demos etc then there used to be.
Drives supercharged Tec with torque
