I know what you're saying about decent nosh, but I just wouldn't pay that for a burger & fries, fecking theiving bar stewards for 9 quid I'd want table service, real cutlery, a pretty waitress, and actually at 9 quid for a burger I'd want use of the pretty waitress

Well, I had a major wallet lightening trip to the show today, however I do look splendid in my new rukka suit, daytona boots, schuberth helmet and rukka gloves.

Looking forward to the next rainy day so I can test all of the gear out.

Had an interesting chat with the folks on the BMW stand about the demise of SPC... They were not aware that the administrator had been contacting former SPC customers making spurious demands for money. Apparently there is a special "SPC desk" set up at BMW HQ to deal with the fallout of this recent excitement...

If I hadn't been replacing all of my gear from my recent "off", I think I would have beee fairly disapointed in the show. It's gradually being overwhelmed by purveyors of crapola.

Cheers,

Paul

...as a comparison : 12.00 EUR = 8.03460 GBP entry fee for the INTERMOT (12,-- Euro for a one day ticket, and 19,-- Euro for a two days ticket)

I need something for the TL and rather fancy a work of art than a piece of bendy tat.
I have a Harris S/S rear in the shed.A great piece of kit.
Have had thoughts about selling it as it's not getting any use at the mo, but that could all change when I win the lotto......yeah right.
