i went only on saturday and thought it was quite good, but ever since they moved out of TRL its never been the same. travelling there took ages!, i thought it would take 1.5 hours to get there but ended up taking 3 hours anyone got the sprint times results? a few trade stands missing such as awesome, premier, also thought there were not many cars on display compared to previous years Also got a few dents sorted out there, the paintless way, i was well impressed, only £30 a panel! bargain! i thought, took out 3 dents on my wing, found out he lives in my area aswell, Harrow, so ill be using them again. Anyone who wants the number let me know

u can get some paintless dent removal people to do it, its like £30 a panel but know any in your area
