To be honest, of the four there are only two decent ones and they are not perfect!

So you are not missing out on much! :wink:

Vikki, a lot of traders were at last year's National Rally that do not normally take a stand. They all wanted to have a presence at the 60th celebrations. :D

I bought the socks too, so bad I had to have them!! I got a sidevalve oil filler cap for £2, best bargain ever as well as several other odds and ends from the same guy who had broken up a terminally rotten sidevalve. Also got a really good grill centre section for £3 from another stall.


Too many Minors so little time.....

I didn't need to buy any food thanks to LouM's very welcome hand-outs..
You're welcome Ray - those quorn burgers were getting a bit sweaty in the tent anyway :wink:


I bought quarterlight rubbers, rubber mats, door pulls, bonnet badge, washer bottle and some items from the regalia tent (not the socks though) :D

To be honest I didnt find much that I wanted at the national, I've just had to make a £200 internet order instead :(
I couldn't buy any big things though as there were 3 of us and luggage travelling home in a 2-door saloon, a bit of a squeeze.
I did find that bonnet badge I was after though.....for 20p :D

As for the socks, I got a pair last year at the NEC :)

Vikki, If you bought a Dvd from the regalia palace I must have served you. Why didn't you say who you were I wouldn't have recognised you without the car :lol:

David, what's wrong with the socks - they're very popular! :P

They are really good socks! They look good and are really comfy. I believe you can get a matching hanky too!

Socks now for sale online. Yep they do do matching hankies, but I don't sell them. No demand, and NO I'm not selling the boxers to match :D

That blue car looks more like a Wolseley. Has that been included especially for those with brake upgrades? :wink:
