Am here 

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Looks like I missed you all, apart from Baza and Keith! Sorry I did! 

I understood one guy 'Malcolm' who has an LC/LO had a Tech2, but as I didn't know him didn't think it entirely 'proper' to walk up say 'hello, you don't know me, but fancy doing me a favour and programming my spare keyfobs, free, of course.'

Malcolm's a friendly chap and I think he's on here and I don't think he would have minded

[biggriffin]

Went and spent Money with Keith, he has that affect on people,  .
Lots of nice cars, 
Auto-bumble was  an Excuse, was lead to believe it was billing(hoaseasons) fault, and that this probably the last year of car based shows, (new broom and all), allegedly talks are being held to go to Peterborough show ground.

Oh, like 99% of OOF / ABS very friendly and decent, but I feel a bit awkward nonetheless. Didn't clock you, actually James? Didn't see a few faces I was looking forward to seeing, actually.

We made a bit of a whistle stop on the ABS stand and said a few quick hellos. Had a look at the other stands first and disappeared just before the hog roast.

I spent the sum total of £2 in the auto jumble.

Sorry I missed you

[Diamond Black Geezer]

You're a gent. Same here, lad 

We'll make an effort tog et down for the NEC, so all is not lost 

[baggedestate]

im gutted i missed going although Peterborough showground is a great place if it moved there

[BazaJT]

Finally managed to get there about 12.30ish,for various reasons got off to a late start.Still managed to meet up with some old friends[in every sense of the word ]and also had a chat with DBG-pleasure to meet you fella-always nice to be able to put a face to a name.If it's to move I too heard it was to do so Peterborough would be a handier as it's that bit closer to me although not by a huge amount,I had feared it might go a lot further south.

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Can only repeat what you said, Mr Baza  a pleasure to meet you properly too. If you fancy doing the full weekend next time that means some sitting around, having a few cans late into the evening can happen, too, lots more time to chat. 


I reckon Lincoln showground would be another good one (for purely selfish reasons, I'll freely admit)

NOOO!  move it down to Reading.....much sunnier and just up the road to me

Didn't realise your garden was that big ken

[ted_one]

 You wait until I move up to Huntingdon,I'll just buy Huntingdon...then.... I'll have a  REALLY BIG garden!!

  Billing was a good event this despite the poor excuss of an autojumble. i personnaly think the reason was that the annual travelling community meet up was the weekend before. We missed them this year as Berni Eccelstone moved the Grand Prix a week, pushing us back a week. Thanks Bernie. The evenings/nights were quiet with only one firework being let off on saturday at 11.30pm and in a totelly unrelated event, an 08 plate Passat being rolled over near the swimming pool. Scorching weather and meet up with friends and aquaintences you only get to see once a year. Peterbourgh being mentioned all weekend by all car clubs so maybe it has some legs on it. All new commitee for the VBOA as well. So, lets see what they come up with

Yep, all in all I thoroughly enjoyed it, and thanks again for the hard work of all at the ABS who really made it, not least of all the free hog roasts and birthday cake, for their anniversary year; again, thanks for all the hard work all. Apart from Dave Waddington, who seemed to be sat on his arse all weekend, lazy sod.
