zebredy Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 This is gona be the first showmasters event that I'll be going to with less the £100, so Im glad there are only 1 or 2 autos Im after, I just hope I will still have a good time knowing how much money I have spent at these events in the past. Am I the only one taking that little with me, or are there others going, who also won't be spending megga bucks this weekend? LLAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dufresne Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 You mentioned this before Stevie ..... good deal at the hut ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steviefull Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Not really, just seems to always be a question around the time im hungry and makes me think of pizza hut. Although the buffet lunch on weekdays £5.99 all you can eat is pretty sweet. Im becoming obsesive about it, almost, what time you gettin there friday my good man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGreen Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 At the moment, and subject to any more guest changes, it will be around £250, but then I always end up spending more when I get there ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calumn Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Between £100 and £200 for me, probably not £100 worth of autos that I want to be honest but I am playing it safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathan Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 A very personal question suited only to those with lots of money to brag about. lol! Where does everyone get these amounts of money to spend on things like this. Does nobody need food and warmth for the rest of the month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crostini Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 im taking £150 but only because you never know how much the guests are going to be E.g. Shatner is said to be £25 but it might be a good idea to take £5-10 more onto that auto just in case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zebredy Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 At least I only have petrol and spending money to think about, Im making my lunch the night before and I don't live that far away so it should be less then a full tank of petrol to get there and back... Due to the money situatiion Im really glad there is only one guest I want to see, well I really only ever go for Star trek and occationally Stargate guests autos so Im really happy that I have seen one of the Star Trek peeps before. Oh and lets not forget the friends that will be keeping me company on the way down, that is if I am deffinately driving this weekend...

Geomonique Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 My good god you people have a lot of sweet cash to spend. Wanna share the wealth with less fortunate beings like me? I'll be taking about 60 smackers, as I'm only a humble 16 year old with no income as yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
