+1 for the above comments.

Great putting faces to forum names at Billing. Although I couldn't buy anything there because I am waiting for the Defender to arrive in September, there are lots of goodies I want/need now I have been able to see them.

Big thank you to Matt (FCX) and Chris (CSK) who took the time to chat despite the crowds. Thumbs Up

To many others as well, great show! 1970 Series 2A 88"

I went on Saturday, it was my first Billing and thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn't bother any of the sponsors due to not wanting to distract from money spending customers but did check out their stands.

I really took a fancy to the MobileCentre black and red 110. Though taking a photo of the black and pink one has caused some 'heated discussions' with the girlfriend!!

I could have walked round for another few hours but my brother had to be back to baby sit (or as his wife calls it, parenting) Next year I'll probably go on my own so I have no time restraints and no one else to please and I can go at my own pace.

I totally understand people saying its not as good as last year, its smaller or exactly the same as last year etc as that happened to me when I used to attend the motorbike show at the NEC every year. Now I go on a adhoc basis. Deffo doing Billing again next year as only an hours drive for me. Strong people are harder to kill and generally more useful!

Had a great weekend on the Mobilecentre / J.W.Speaker stand. VERY VERY burnt head from to much sun, always a pleasure showing folk around the 110,and talking to people. A few mix reactions to the new 90 in the fleet,and the display trailer gets better evey show..

Also noticed more and more Landys havihg the 8700 fitted, making a change from 3 years back when the only ones were in Irb's Puma and Lindsay Porters 110. Think thats due to pricing and our friendly banter on the stand Rolling with laughter

Looking forward to Petebog13 Putting Dreams on Drives at JLR Solihull..

Adafish didn't realise I was speaking to you! I am the big welsh guy who desperately wanted the 8700s but couldn't get the mrs on board Big Cry
Instead you sold me some Anderson plugs and strip led's
Must admit the light bar was a bit expensive!!!

Good to meet CSK Chris & his Dad. Good to put a face to a name & see your trucks. Very Cool

Did like the FXC 130 also

Ended up ordering a roof tent so we went home happy Very Happy

Plently of 2nd hand bits for sale, bet some were still warm as some did look rather new ish to my liking

Did anybody spot a crate full of Puma EGR valves?? Why would you want to buy a 2nd hand one of those?? Shocked Chris
