Planning on a trip up tomorrow (Friday) - hopefully catch up with a few faces!
What is the opinion of the show?
Better or worse than last year?

A few pics.
1) The V350 is here (this is the 1st one in Europe).
2) Monster gear case.
3) Some Merc bling.
4) Mike literally begged me for this BM sticker for his Ranger.
5) Then he insisted on showing off the vast capacity of his Ranger 25 cuddy cabin (4 men in a boat) and the staggering depth he's achieved with his new 'trowl-on' fake tan, using 'Megga-Tan®'.

1 & 2) Mike checks out some rigging from the king of Bling himself.
Totally consumed by the 'Pimp my ride' styling and now on a major physical & emotional high, Mike orders a new Reggie style 'Lightning Flash' shell suit, a 10 kilo 'gold look' medallion, a matching diamond encrusted Bolex and another 25 kilo keg of Megga-Tan®.
3 & 4) Wanting to reciprocate on the sticker front, Mike & Andy very kindly and very secretly re-badge 'SwipeWipes' as a Ring Powercraft! I ask you! The shame of it!!!!!!  
5) With his Megga-Tan® still looking absolutely radiant, the deal is done, Mike buys the entire stock of Super Swipewipes, Suction Coolies & Tee Shirts from Nicks stand in an effort to buy our silence on the unfolding 'Megga-Tan®' story. (Don't worry, your secret's safe with us Mike)

Strangely enough, Mike had a picture of himself on his stand, where he's the spitting image of Paul Lemmer! ...like 'his double'!!!..could they be one in the same person I wonder??
So, Gordon Compton, real name, Gordon Lemmer!

Paul Lemmer must then by as scaled down version as he only stands a few feet of the ground.
I like the look of the Ring Ranger, do have any more photos?

I'm sure Mike or Andy would be only too happy to oblige. I don't have any more, my camera refused to take them.

At least there will always be a BananaShark Sticker on that boat so long as the deck's on it!

You mean he's ground out the sticker underneath the deck? Better make sure he hasn't damaged the integrity of the boat!
Maybe I should have supplied some "Made In Devon" stickers for you!
