Are your saying Go to the show or not go? I think it would be impratical anyway at this time as I have my A Levels - around that weekend which is a bit of a bugger. Im curious as to what size engine the D has, and are they all 2 seaters? Also, is this site accurate http://www.entermyworld.com/dmc2/index.html ? Is there a DMC2 ?
