mph show was embarrasing! the 75 min show was ok,full of cars driving at 3mph though! and russ swift t boning an astra vxr with his and then crashing into the barrier was funny(deffo not on purpose,all the airbags deployed,bits of bumper everywhere etc ) but the bit outside that was shite,there were about 20 cars,and a quarter of the traders were selling bits like pens or showers(i kid you not!) or leather bags,it was like a sunday market! i hope the london one is better (im goin next week with me dad) as ill certainly be writing to complain about the NEC one,we went round the whole show inside half an hour!

But he got fired for announcing the fact in his book.
