Porny Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 This weekend I was mostly buying..... A very nice Disk Handbrake conversion from X-eng... Complete with forum discount And a set of Jackable Sills from UK Land Rover.net which get very heavy, very quickly, when walking back to the Land Rover!!! First time I've been to Donnington and was quite impressed... not a show as such (which I know some people expected)... but numerous trade stands - thought it was quite good overall. Although £9.00 to get in seemed a bit steep.... and I was even more gutted when walking back from the Landy... some bloke leaving the show very kindly offered me his ticket... bugger.

Ben_J85JTY Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 I only Bought 2 stickers, £8 in total. Still, a fair few traders seemed interested in the Gaydon weekend so not a total loss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Just a couple of stickers, can't afford anything shiny at the mo. Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 A god day. A nice shiny Salisbury diff guard from QT Services. The best thing is I think I've managed to source the side steps I want.The supplier was willing to supply them not finished so I could weld my own brackets. I looked at the disc handbrake.That is and has been on my wish list for some time.I'll just have to wait untl I save somer pennies up.Being an 80% taxpayer makes life difficult.

simonr Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 It was nice to meet some more you forum people outside those who normally come on trips & comps. The whole thing was very friendly - although if I'd not been trading, I'd have feld they'd had my trousers down wit the entry fee. £9 was very steep, particularly considering how much they charged traders! Must go and unpack my trailer now! If any of you happen across a cheap, reasonable condition exhibition trailer - drop me a line! That would make so much difference!

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 The few I spoke to seemed to think it was too expensive....can let you know which ones via pm (though I 'think' I'll be meeting you on Friday!! ) Ian £9 ? Just to get in ???? and they fleeced the trader there bo doubt ? Jeez thats rediculous ! I thought about going, glad I didn't, sums up many shows - fleece you on arrival, and then continues during the day via food / drinks / parking etc etc... Thats one reason I stopped going to all the shows except old sod, which equally seems to be shoving its prices up a tad, but its still a 'grand day out'........... £9 they are having a laugh....... how much did this put people off I wonder, surely they wnat to get people in so trasders have a great day, what a rip off ...........its not the £9 its the principle Did they whisper in your ear as you paid them (that old joke has just sprung to mind - the one about having dirty comments whipsered in your ear as you are S******) Must go think I hear a mod coming Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
istruggle2gate11 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 £9 ?Just to get in ???? how much did this put people off Enough for me not to bother and have a nice Sunday lie instead and I only live 25 miles away! I know £9 wont break the bank, but I wasnt that fussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 My point exactly............... and if it had been free entry or say 2 3 4 £5..... .........they desreve to fail, ..................sheer greed ...........nothing else Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Same here. Was visiting my family in Nottingham and thought about going. But, £9 entry fee (£18 for the 2 of us) put me off. So I don't think I'll be going again. Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
