come on!! pictures or it didnt happen lol
I took 475 over the weekend... Still at 22mins just to get them off my card on to my comp..lol
That was a bit :gay:
Well even though Claire and myself only made a brief surprise visit on sunday it was great to see some familiar faces. I haven't been on the net really very much at all over the past year or so and certainly not been a common figure on here for a while but I was amazed that I could only move a few minutes at a time around the show before someone recognising me and stoping me to talk. This is the awesome thing about the Vauxhall community and I thank all those that I know and all those I don't for taking the time for a chat makes the show for me every time. Mega cars mega distant friends mega atmosphere MEGA BILLING again.
A few of the ones I took

It was a great show and awesome to see all the cars especially the older builds from years ago and nice to chat to everyone who i had not met before so thanks,but I defo did not enjoy the person I was talking to as they was walking around around my car saying negative comments and not knowing I was the owner as if they was a concourse judge or something, not that this bothers me and wont be naming anyone as everyone has there own opinion but seeing there car later in the day made me wonder why I received the negative comments when there car can only be described as about as clean as a butchers dustbin.
less bitchin' lol more pics lol
Had a good day out at billing on Sunday, was my first year going and hopefully make it next year maybe for the weekend with the sr and get to know some of you lot. Saw some awesome nova's and was great to see some of the familiar ones from the forum in the flesh. Some serious time and effort been put in.
Took the mk1 nova GL up along with my brother in his mk1 cavalier GL. Met up with my mate and took his fully restored cavalier GSI

Most of my pictures are on FB but will try and pop them on here later :)
Definitely the best Billing by far this year, I spoke to so many new people this year. Lots of lovely cars as usual. I wish I'd had more time to have a proper look.
Burgo and Mazz did brilliant jobs in running things. Big thank you to everyone that helped me keep track of the twins. Personal thank you to Spud for helping Thomas get some food from the BBQ, to Carrie for playing with the kids most of the day and to Scott for not only letting the boys play in his car but also for not killing me when Amelia decided to pull bits off lol
Some cracking pictures, gutted I couldn't make it. Creambun name and shame lol
Well weren't me slaging cars off as I didn't get to really look round them Sunday, but yeah I've seen it happens , but then I never pretend mines mint, as it's really not...
Gutted that I missed it this year, I spent the weekend putting mine back together. I won't start a project until the winter next time!! Loving the photos so I can see what I missed.
And yes, I've been at shows and heard negative comments about my car and how it "should" be modified and what has been done "wrong" to it. Simple answer, I do it for my own enjoyment. I know what's wrong with it, but I also know what I like about it.
Please keep the photos coming as it just makes me all the more keen to spend the whole weekend there next year!!
haha mine was defo the "mint'est" nova on the stand sunday lol lol
Good to see you all, had a good day trip up and home, but bloody knackered defo camping the weekend next year, Was too much driving for one day!
Some stunning cars there as always and nice weather!
Didnt take a single pic as normal haha
gutted i missed this, some of the pictures look great, fantastic variety of novas on display. i've been to pvs that last 2 years and never really thought of going to billing but it seems like a proper friendly car show as opposed to pvs which is a bit of a chav fest. i spent the weekend down at santa pod so i was on the lookout on the way past billing :d saw a fantastic bright orange firenza, a couple of cavalier sri's and an astra gte cab. no novas tho :(
my pics for people not on FB

I will change this to pics when I get a chance.
A big thanks to everyone who made me feel welcome, had a good crack Saturday night leading to a rather sore head on Sunday (although not half as sore as Scott's :-) )
Great catching up with some old faces and meeting alot of you for the first time.
Only got three on my iPotato so images won't be awesome. Will upload the lot I got from the camera when I can find my memory card reader!
Joff daring the PNG massive pikeys to rob him whilst he sleeps.

My pics from the Sunday - http://public.fotki.com/M4rks/car-ev...ll-vboa-billi/
Was a good day. Had a drive down with Plug.
Met Burgo, Stuart (who introduced himself as nazi, threw me for a split second lol) And met up with a few others. Had a good chat woth Dan (i want a passenger ride in yours!) and had a spirited drive home with Will F and Dan gave chase lol
Really hoping to camp next year. Had planned to this year but my sister moved house saturday so had to help her. Can really get into the club spirit(s) lol then!!!
Pics in here then?
Great to see the people i did. Really nice to meet some new faces too.
I'm putting all my Nova photo here, as i think most are from here... As always my photos have been resized (down) and dropped in quality.. If you want the full size high res ones just ask.

Looked a cracking turnout of Novas for various clubs, I would love to see every Nova owner have a get together next year from all the clubs to do a group shot, all the clubs could have club banners at the front to promote one another I suppose ;)
Good turn out of Novas all over the show. Although I had turned my back on Novas of recent years, this year as refuelled my passion for them. Time to get searching!
