Only a tenner each.. £40 in Diesel, £60 plus food/drink, sounds like a great day out to me, last time I was at the NEC was for a bike show, so I know how big it is and if it's packed with stalls, I can't really think of a better way to spend a day (aside from a reptile expo )

I'm tempted but Birmingham is a very, very long way away.

Where you at buddy?

It's around 400 miles round trip for me but I think it will be worth the travel.

I'll do it by train, much less hassle.

I remember going to an RC expo at the NEC about 15 years ago? Anyone remember the name?

 

it would be rude of me to not go to this been as Im in Brum!

Scratch that 3rd December. Im either in Edinburgh or work

Not if you end up buying something lol.

Probably cheaper by car for us anyway, my Dads car usually averages about 55-58mpg on the motorway, other week he got 235 miles from £20.. It'd be great to finally meet you in person though Tim!

Is the RC Car part on the Sunday too? Couldnt see where you can buy tickets for the sunday ;/

I can take my Turnigy hauler 

 

Parking is a pita at the NEC, if I go by train I can get a lift to Aberystwyth and don't need to be outside till I get back 

 

Yeah, be good to meet you too chap.

Be a PITA on the train for us without a local line, it'd mean changing loads, so we'll just drive, my Dad will know somewhere to park... Being a coach driver for 30 years has it's advantages when it comes to finding places to park

I wondered that myself so I've fired them an E-Mail.

I'd only be going for the day not the weekend but it would be good to know which day is going to be best for ground/surface stuff.

Shall post what they say if/when they reply.

Thanks. Ill defo make the Sunday if thats the case. Take the Mrs and get some grub on the way home and make a day of it. The Saturday could be an issue. Im in Edinburgh the weekend before and its unlikely Ill be able to wangle 2 saturdays on the trot off lol

Definitely going to this, never been to a toy fair/expo before

West London, you can pick us up on the way through.

Could be an ideal situation for people to car share and spread the driving and fuel costs

Ill go Nuremburg one year!

I need to go to this! 40 minutes up the M6 for me. If I'm working on the Saturday and can't get the time off work I'll go on the Sunday. Does anyone have a website link please? I'll be damned if I can find it :/ 

 

(twss block)

Scratch that, found it....http://www.ukdroneshow.com/

It would be faster to drive to Gatwick, get on a plane, fly to Nuremburg and go to the expo there. I am actually tempted to get to Nuremburg looking at it that way. 

Hopefully got a car full from work going.
