Nice to see you again John and sorry that you had to go before it was my turn to get the tea and toasties in.
I stuck it out till mid-day but didn't buy anything apart from the photos. We went to the Brooklands Museum after that.
I left home at 2.30am yesterday to catch the 6.00am 'Shuttle' and got back in at 1.45 this morning after creeping at 20mph round the Brussels ring as the snow started piling up. I was seriously glad that I had proper winter tyres on as the 4" or so of snow was enough to get some cars stuck on the slip roads.
Was it worth it ? In parts-finding terms, not exactly. It's a social event really and one never knows where the next bargain will be.

Yes it was a barren journey!! took this piccy on the way back, on the motorway in Belgium:
Only found some aircraft wheel and tyres, (size 24x7) still don't know what off??
But had a hunch there was something good there for me, and there was, only Rik found it first! but that's OK, "it will stay ïn the family"
Thanks John, for the hospitality! and it was good to meet up with everybody again.
Cheers,
Lex
