The Directory was £2! 😮 Shocker! Down from £7.50 though! 😀 A saving of almost 75%! 😎 I also got a lovely seat in VS’s new suite. Very comfortable, I enjoyed that, and hearing the explanation.
I tested it all the table, the PTV etc. I got a pic that’ll post when I get the problem with the camera fixed! 😡

I think it was getting weighed down by the ClubMed brochure from Fiat- no idea why I picked that up! 😀 oh yes and the Whatcar Road Test Dorectory, everything else was just leaflets mainly.

Same with me, my Vauxhall one collapsed with all the stuff inside so I had the Daewoo and Toyota ones digging into my shoulders 🙂

Yeah, towards the end of the day, the Kia bag that I had been given at the beginning of the day was digging in to my shoulder, it weighed a tonne!
I had just been throwing freebies into it all day! 😀

I was going to sign up for a 4×4 experience but just never got round to it.
We must have trekked round the NEC about 5 times over yesterday and in circles! My feet were aching! 🙂

I got in too late for the BSM experience 🙁 I got the same things as you guys though, and I will have plenty of chance for real driving with my dad working for BSM 🙂

I have seen those before, and yes when I first came across them they were the funniest things I had heard in a long time! 😀 😀
Number 5 is the best! School boy humour :rolleyes: 😀 That’s me then!

The DVD is exactly what they gave you in the 10mins theory at the place! 🙂
I signed up at about 10am and was given a slot at 11.15.

Yes, I got 10mins doing theory, 10mins with a simulator and 10mins cruising round a purpose built track in a Corsa 1.2 SXI.
The freebies were 1 hr simulator time, 1 hr lesson and a CD Rom with a fake theory test on it. It was excellent! The whole area stank of clutch! 😉

Sounds you did rather well.. pity about the clutch! 🙁
