as we travel a long way (kent) we always make a weekend of it and do birmingham shops on the sat, meet up with friends sat eve, stay in a travelodge (got it for £15 on the internet, bargain!!) and then do dubfreeze on the sunday before driving back home mid-afternoon.
dubfreeze is great for bits (i bought a set of alloys last year for our split and saved loads...), but i think a lot of people go as it's the first big show of the year and its good to get back into the vibe.... :lol: but equally this is why it always gets busy, so get there early and go early!!
as for the moaners elsewhere, well hey, they obviously lead sad lives and have got nothing better to do.....some people are never satisfied!!
we had a great weekend, and will be back next year, thanks to all the organisers and traders for making it a great day :lol: :lol:
oh and by the way just booked a travelodge for vanfest and got that for £15 as well...happy days....
