Reply With QuoteYeah, I'll be there tomorrow. You quite often see the same cars from year to year but there's always a few gems and it's a good day out. Looking forward to a nice pie from one of the stalls too
Any one off to the Classic Car Show in Birmingham this weekend?
I've just got here now to see the set up, looks like it'll be quite good again this year.

Yes I'll be there tomorrow , haven't been for a couple of years . Not looking forward to the drive tho'.
I haven't been for five years now (not the best place for young children with sticky sweet-covered fingers...) but I've always enjoyed it.
I see that the Sporting Bears are there again this year, I had my first ride in a TVR Tuscan courtesy of their fundraising drive last time I was there, rapid machine!
One of these days I'll give it another whirl. Last time most of my time was spent in the auto-jumble which sounds really sad but was great!
Is there still a live show attached to it? The last one was called MPH and was basically just "Top-Gear Live" with Clarkson & co, well worth it though, it wasn't much more money for a ticket to give access to all areas.
I'm going tomorrow too.
Many years since I went, mostly because I hate the NEC as a venue, but I must say the Classic Car Show was probably the one event I did enjoy there.

I will be there on Sunday with family.Really looking forward to the day ,first time I have been.
Heard how good the show is from a few petrolhead mates at the golf club.

I'll be popping down there tomorrow. I always used to go on a Sat or Sun and use the various car club admission discounts, but the show is so popular these days that it's really difficult to get around and see everything on a weekend day what with the huge crowds. Fridays are still quieter but, in recent years, loads of other folks seem to have made the same decision and also opted for day #1
After 20-odd years of being stand organiser for The Riley RM Club I have retired, but old habits die hard and I will be helping to man the stand. Only tomorrow though.
Living in Manchester I find it more convenient to get the train down; it drops you off right in the NEC.
Should be a good event; much better than the recent Ally Pally show. Check out the Slades Garage stand, will be a lovely Lamborghini Countach Anniversary model on show + a few other classics......
Just been having a look at the AM stand, quite taken with this one
Off there for the weekend as there are a few bits we fancy in the Silverstone Auction.
I'll be there on Sunday with my son, 5 hour drive so it had better be good!
You can save some money and do a bit of xmas shopping by parking at resorts world and just walking round the corner
You get at least s couple of hours free and it's certainly not a tenner
Thinking of getting a train down tomorrow
Sadly no.... if you see Mr David Mullan on the Crayford car club stand who will be there on weekend please do me a favour and ask him how many Mk1 Minis he built could you?
Love to get a definitive number.... Ta
Decided not to go this year but after reading the positive comments i might go next year. I believe Zenith are there with a watchmaker too.
I'll be there on Sunday wearing a black Monster.
It is huge and rammed. Sadly I have to go tomorrow as well !!!!! But, loads to see so you won't be disappointed .
I wnt in 2014 and 2015. Thoroughly enjoyed it but it gets too busy and there are very few opportunities to take the weight off your feet and relax . Having just had knee surgery last weekend it clearly didn't make sense to attend this year so I 've given it a miss, No way could I have managed 3-4 hrs on my feet.
Best way to get there is by train, wouldn't even consider driving.
However, to quote a well-known Hollywood actor.........I'll be back
