"For the NEC Classic Motor Show is upon is again, and as usual I'm there for all 3 days. So, the idea of this thread is to bring you a sh*tload of pics over the course of the weekend.
So to kick off, I'll be posting pics of the setup and of Hall 1. Before anyone asks where X, Y and Z is, I should explain I haven't taken pics of the other halls yet. I've had a snoop round and made mental notes, and I'll be photographing Halls 2 and 3 tomorrow (plus some loose ends from Hall 1) and then Hall 4 on Sunday (and maybe the bikes if I have time.)
So, let's go back to Thursday and the setup. No real car-specific pics here, these are just teaser/setup shots that I meant to post up yesterday but didn't. Just shows what the place looks like less than 24 hours before the show starts!:
(Note: Quality varies here because I was trying to set my camera up for the NEC's tricky lighting!)
(I'll be coming back to a lot of this stuff in the next couple of days!)
Onto the first day of the show - today I photographed most of Hall 1 and a bit of Hall 2. Kicking off with some pics of the ABVWC stand which I'm helping run...
We were near other VW clubs - here's the Scirocco and Corrado club... I like the drop-top Rocco a lot more than I should!:
Volvo 2-door...
This was 99% perfect for me - my favourite type of car, absolutely gorgeous colour, awesome wheels - if the headlamp eyelids were taken away, it would be 100% spot on:
Ordering a Ferrari in metallic brown takes some real guts - looks good though:
That awesome Bug's powerplant:
This Datsun featured earlier in the thread during the setup photos - only now it has its hydros deployed...
I began to photograph Hall 2... but the light was against me at this point, so I decided to leave it until daylight:
So that's Hall 1 - stay tuned over the weekend for updates, because the best stuff is yet to come!

Great pics though, I'm only posting a few because I haven't got time, glad someone is as obsessive as me with them! xx
