Sorry about the poor quality of the pictures we always have this problem at the NEC due to the lighting there, but will try to sort it out tomorrow.

We arrived at the NEC at 7.30am this morning to start cleaning the car before the doors opened.

Right across the walkway from us was this sweet granny sleeper...............with a V8 fitted.

One of the club stands that did catch my eye was the GTROC stand who had just 3 cars on the stand. Nothing more was needed and to make it even better the guys on the stand were gentlemen.

The finish on this 32 was stunning.

Oh, and they also had this little thing.

After talking to the guy about the car, racing and Time Attack he suggested we take a couple of pics, who was we to refuse.

Later in the day we managed to take a little walk round.

Will try and sort the picture quality out tomorrow.

I wouldn't worry about the pics mate, keep 'em coming! Love that Granada........my Uncle had one years ago and I have always had a guilty lust for one

I'm pretty sure Dave Warrener is one of the guys you refer to on the GTROC stand........

Anyway, enjoy your time there and keep the updates coming.

Another stupidly long day but a good one. I left mine at 06.20 this morning to get the train to the NEC as Alan was coming up later with Wayne. I was one of the first exhibitors to arrive so it gave me a little time to snap some pics before cleaning the car again.

Everytime we go to the NEC I keep seeing this same lady.....might have to try and get here number tomorrow.

A few of the motorsport cars.

This is such a beauty.

And I couldn't resist taking these again.

Even covered up this thing still looks impressive.

That's much more like it

The 6R4 and 037 are especially impressive.

Then it was back to work and get the car clean. Tomorrow I will be taking a lot more pictures as Alan and Wayne will be cleaning the car.
