Me and Emma attended the Classic Car Show in Birmingham on the 13th 14th and 15th of November. We set off straight from work on the 13th, after a few issues with the hire car, like not being able to find out where the lights were or the reverse gear... but eventually set off to Birmingham City airport which is apparently where our hotel was located... although the sat nav did have a few issues helping us find it so i decided to use Kay Nav and found it myself.

We got up bright and early on the Friday morning and made our way to the NEC to set up our stand in our 50's style outfits and big hair!

The first day we were rushed off our feat and i was thank full that i had chosen my "work" shoes and not "sexy" shoes... Craig Darwin kept us upbeat through out the day with his random comments and generally random behaviour. We had a few photo opportunities on the first day and were well received the 50's style outfits seem to go down well with everyone and we had some great pictures taken with some black and white classics with Cruella De'Ville glasses on and holding some Dalmatian dogs... stuffed ones... not real obviously.

We had a brief break in between the mayhem for some lunch where Craig continued to amuse us by trying to put brown sugar on his chips instead of brown sauce! Just one of the many things he did this weekend but too many to list unfortunately.

By the Saturday night we were planning a big night out in Birmingham, seemed rude not to see the sights whilst we were there, however me and Emma chickened out as soon as we got back to the hotel after a glass of wine we wanted Birmingham bed not Birmingham bars! So we left the boys to it and had another early night.

Sunday came and by one o'clock my "work" shoes had turned on me and i actually wanted my slippers to walk around in for the rest of the day, but I braved it and managed to walk the rest of the day even though my feet wanted to be amputated at the end.

All in all a good show and lots of lovely cars, met lots of people and managed to get lots of quotes for the boys to deal with on the stand.

Next week Kayleigh, Emma and I will be heading to the Classic Motor Show at Birmingham NEC. This is the first time Adrian Flux have attended the event, so we have never been before!

The veteran, the vintage, the classic and the future classic, with a huge and diverse display of 1000 cars ranging from the most accessible popular classics through to the thoroughly outrageous and rare exotica.
