Wasn't the 2005 show the one where they had a whole cowshed full of
antique cars to show, but didn't tell anyone? Or, was that a rumour?
Bloomin' nothing happening that year, but the Keswick show the year
before was even more dull. I skipped 2006 and found something more
interesting to do - pairing up divorced socks and watching the grass
grow :)
The best thing about the 2005 show was meeting Stuart (from Worcester)
in ****rley just off the M42 and tearing up the brand new M6 toll
road ... well, we paid for it ... 100 ... 110 ... 120 ... 130 ...
