I don't know whether I'm relieved to know that is the most important thing you felt the need to tell us.
No one injured doing the forward roll and rushed off in an ambulance?
Three cars, two fire engines, one steam roller, a wheelchair, and various sized hammers.... what could go wrong?!

Cheers Paul,
I got home safe and sound in the 1800 Estate which seems to go better each time it is driven! I managed to go home without any trips into the unknown, unlike the trip down when I fell out with the SatNav after it took me off the M6, round the roundabout and back on the motorway!!
Was nice to meet up and chat with all you guys in the flesh. Got a few bits thanks to yourself, Auto jumble, and Viva Spares. It was good to see Steve's BDL 600L ( Viva 2300 ). Hope it got you home alright Steve.
Cheers all
Fred

Well now I have slept a bit for once in the last few days, the Billing this year was bar far the best ever.

Loads of new cars I have not seen before, a few older cars that looked even better than before, and a whole gaggle of cars that are still the same as last year BUT still going and looking as good as before.

The people were all great this year as well, Adrian and Sue came over and had chats with us lot on the bank on the Saturday evening. all in all well done to every single person from all the clubs not just viva clubs for making this year the best I have ever been to.

I sold loads of parts but spent it on curry and beer!!! So all in all the weekend cost me no more than lack of sleep from the idiots on the stall next to us.

Here is the best pictures of the weekend so far, just to wet your appetites of the Billing 2006 gallery that will be up later:

How's about that then, Top tastic 70's Pop pickers
