well the first question is..... is anyone here going??

and the second is..... do you have any stands you plan to visit?

---

as i live only 5miles from the NEC i'll be there and i'll be visiting the connects2 stand to see if i can connect my old sony autochanger to my existing head unit.

I'm going on 2nd June (taking my Dad coz he's paid for the tickets

)

Have a list of things that I want to look at...all depends on how tired my old Dad gets as to how far round the stalls we go! Aww...bless him.

they include press day entry too, but I'll be abroad all next week for work + havent sold the CC yet, so I just hope I'll have a car to go there with!

I went today and it was really quiet!! Not many people at all!

Did speak to someone on the Pug stand on behalf of all those with Agean Blue who need the correct colour touch up pen. I spoke to someone higher up the chain who is going to look into it - and may indeed visit this forum.

Vauxhall Tigra prices - top model will be Â£50 dearer than Pug base model. And it comes with a full size spare wheel - they are playing on comparisons with the cc for sales already, including Pug not working with the roof manufacturer, whereas Vauxhall apparently have....hence the leak problems (according to them!)

Focus convertible won't be for another 18 months/2 years and based on the new model out Jan. Nissan's Micra cc is 15 months away. Not that I will be interested in buying either!!

Not overly impressed with the show - less accessory stands than in previous years.

Anyone going to Motor Expo at Canary Wharf mid-June? BMW will be at that one!! And there's no entrance fee I believe.

the tigra's roof is made by the same company as the CC so it's gotta have the same sort of probs too no matter how well they have 'Talked together'

Yes, I'm aware its the same company and Vauxhall are aware that the public know it...so either they have done car mods in conjunction with recs by the roof people (as the guy said today), or they're spinning that line to convince people it won't have leak problems.
