I went to the Classic Motor Show at the NEC at the weekend. I’ve never been before and was impressed at the variety and scale of the event. The two clubs that I am a member of, the MMA and the NSRA both had fantastic stands with top quality cars, I spent quite some time catching up with friends on both stands. I was fortunate enough to run into some of the guys from Volkszone, including Darren Walsh from Retro Motoring, he got some great photos of some of the rarer machinery over here. I was also able to visit the Milkcow stand to pick up a couple of copies of the issue with my shoot in and had a really inspiring chat with Danny Bedocs, I’m hoping to use some of his experience to help me with an upcoming project. All of that chat meant there was little time for photo taking but there a a few random shots in my flickr set here.

Had a great day yesterday at the NSRA Hot Rod Super Nationals at Old Warden. Jimmy Shine was over from the US to keep people entertained and the quality and quantity of the cars was outstanding. Check out the Flickr set here.

Went up to Bug Jam yesterday, it was really muddy when I arrived, took some scary driving to get to my allocated camping across the mud. But it was hot and dry all day and the mud dried out well. Woke up to rain this morning so cleared off quite early. Unfortunately the car died on the M1, fuel pump broken so I had to come the rest of the way on a flatbed. Need to get a pump ordered tomorrow to try and make the Nats next week.
