(was) Live from the NEC Classic Motor Show! What should you come and see?

[@ibs5080]

Thank you so so much for a personal mention at 57:32 Ian. You made my day! Watching this from my hospital room. As Steph will have mentioned to you, i was diagnosed with leukemia...and this just three months after losing my very dear Mum on July 3rd. Its the Brit Canadian here. I had planned to attend this year's show for all three days and am absolutely gutted i can't be there and meet you all. Hope to be at the Resto show im March for 2 of the 3 days. In the meantime, I'm really looking forward to walkabout videos from all three of you. Cant tell you how much this means to me. Ibrahim in Canterbury

[@MrFlyingguy]

wishing you well Ibrahim

[@ibs5080]

@MrFlyingguy Thank you very kindly. Did you make it to the show btw?

[@skyrocketautomotive]

Was good to meet you today Ian! Even if my anxiety caused me to bottle it, buy a mug and run away haha Hope the rest of the show was good! Some wonderful stuff there this year, and a VERY reasonably priced set of autojumble stands!

[@HubNut]

Aw, thanks for visiting!

[@johnathanrowley2707]

It was great to meet you on Sunday, hopefully I will be able to go to one of the rustivals in 2025

[@niklaswejedal463]

Such a shame the phone decided to lock itself in that hopeless portrait mode... hopefully that will be fixed for the next NEC video. So much good stuff to see!

[@PaulsRoadshow]

I found the trick is to make sure you hold your phone in the portrait position before you start your recording then it should lock in that mode :-)

[@SpaceGhost1701]

HubNut at the same car show as Harry's Garage. What a collaboration that would be...a man can dream. Imagine Harry test driving Bella.

[@mpersad]

That is a terrific idea!

[@fox586a]

Harry's Garage on Acid as those sweet sweet guys at Smith and Sniff once mentioned....

[@grantmarchesi4899]

A crossover with Harry's thoughts on Betty and Mrs. Hubnuts thoughts on the Countach is the thing of dreams.

[@MichaelDavidRuss]

Glad you posted this as I was able to track your stand down 😂 and get a T shirt 😊

[@AndreiTupolev]

That's a pure HubNut opening 😁

[@SpacedOdyssey]

@hubnut Your 1 Hour video reminds me of my last visit to the show two years ago. I arrived on Friday morning at 10 and left at 1pm. I had a few things I wanted to see, and had had enough of walking after couple of hours, Well Done, Saved Me £42 plus parking £7 for a sausage roll

[@davidhinkson8856]

Again, this looks like another great display of vehicles of all kinds. Happy that Steph managed to get the Standard ready in time and it's also good to see Matt's Alfa, which i haven't seen on his channel for a while.

[@petroldrinker]

That nighfire red Montego Estate! ❤

[@oldredcelica]

My Avon at about 14mins. Avon Coachworks based in Warwick, just down the road from the NEC. Did briefly chat with you at the end of today's show. Feel free to come a chat on Saturday.

[@edgarbeat2851]

4:56 Healy with a Nash Hudson straight 6. Silverstone but on steroids a rare Healy. I can't wait to see that in person. See you on Sunday.

[@meirionevans5137]

Enjoying Bella's camper morph. Have a good show, easy on the vocal chords.

[@bentullett6068]

Looks like an excellent show will most likely bump into you, Carly, Matt and Steph on Sunday

[@tomoreilly9932]

I'm thinking those hubnut hats will be worth a fortune with the skewiff badges,when you look at coins or notes that have a mistake on them are worth a fortune.... well that's how I'd market them 😂

[@HubNut]

Exclusive limited edition!

[@daniellee9015]

Absolutely exceptional video ian ❤👍 blown away with all those beauties brilliant

[@philwebb6464]

Great insight into what to see Ian. See you Sunday.

[@fhwolthuis]

Maybe you need to switch on or off the auto-rotate function on your phone itself (must be somewhere in the quick settings in the slide down menu at the top of your screen). There are some KZbin videos about the topic but I think you could just experiment some short live video's on the Hub Notes channel and delete them afterwards.

[@alansmith1770]

Hope you have a good show Ian

[@andrewhaines3259]

I hope Pete C is ok. He usually is displaying his cars somewhere!

[@richardhoneybun5509]

All Bullnose Saabs had the 2 stroke, the V4 was only fitted to the longnose 96/95s

[@HubNut]

Thanks. My brain entirely forgot that.

[@richardhoneybun5509]

@HubNut As with Ageing wheels new Saab the 2 stroke was also fitted in the early long nose cars alongside the V4

[@worldsmith3254]

Good on you Ian - keep up the excellent work - love your content from Adelaide

[@tonysargent7787]

Bella is looking beautiful another great video has always Ian and Carly miss/mrs hubnut and hublets and hubmutt 👍

[@micheltebraake7915]

That saves me a lot of steps when you film Ian, thanks for that.

[@scottishcarenthusiastsandtrain]

Can vouch for the Sporting Bears 2CV myself and my friend went out in it a couple of years ago. I think from your Walkaround I missed a few cars when I was down at the weekend. Here's a idea for a Hubnotes video, can you detail the cost of how much it costs to obtain a stand, display a car I think you mentioned at the weekend it was expensive and I also read a comment from Fiat Club GB that there was a great expense involved.

[@HubNut]

Clubs don't pay for stand space, but there is still expense in terms of car transport and accomodation. Some of the smaller clubs rely on members to cover the costs. It can really add up. Can't really discuss details of trade stands as that's usually between traders and the organisers.

[@AutoAtlantica]

The Tredia and Cordia were both called as such in the U.K.! Enjoy the show!

[@classics144sportscarschannel]

thanks hubnut for ur video bril job. always a lot doing there each year

[@brianiswrong]

Wonderfull walk around Ian Thankyou.

[@andyand100]

I sure your ltd edition wonkey hats all rights reserved will become collectors item in future

[@BillMalcolm-tn3kq]

Yes, what could be more HubNut?

[@BillMalcolm-tn3kq]

I agree. The hats are so Hub Nut, they should charge more, not less!

[@GaryRobertonBoyes]

The Background Tannoi reminds me a bit of the Village announcer on the old " Prisoner" LOL cheers Ian...

[@chrisrand5185]

I never realised that that the AS in AS3 stood for Austin Seven. Makes complete sense!

[@wildyuk1]

Rtv was sponsored by British gas back in the 80s and was driven from john o grotes to landsend by a blind man .this is one of the two cars used .

[@HubNut]

Wow!

[@wildyuk1]

It's in found state will send you a tube link to the news film of it . Nice bit of kit tbf .

[@iainf]

I enjoyed that. Thank-you. I.

[@caravansitetours]

Not been able to make it to the show. Seen some nice classics on the motorway heading south so maybe at the show

[@classics144sportscarschannel]

idea yourself and matt should do a live together

[@HubNut]

I'm struggling to do a live correctly on my own!

[@amateurknight235]

£18 to park took the shine of the show

[@HubNut]

A joke to be sure. Not sure how they justify it.

[@groeacht8525]

Don't forget to pay your Caz too or that's £120

[@HubNut]

NEC is nowhere near Birmingham City Centre. It's not even technically in Birmingham...

[@PaulsRoadshow]

I always park at the NEC train station parking it’s was £5 the last time I went to a show at the NEC ok it’s a bit of a walk but worth doing as it saves you £13 :-)

[@milehighclassics]

Bill oddy can I ask where the American cars are

[@HubNut]

There was a Plymouth! Usually a group of Americana. I think I must have missed it.

[@philipellis7039]

‘That buys me a cup of tea.’ Looks at NEC catering prices…😮

[@baxdesign]

That wee special, "Bloody Mary", is an insane and semi-famous twin enringed hill-climb special (there's a good KZbin on it's history iirc).

[@shauntvr4312]

Had a visa great fun car

[@tonys1636]

I would've spent all my time in hall 5 with true classics, those manufactured before 1959, including PVT's from post WWI and Vintage / Veteran.

[@andygrinsdale1436]

Hope there is another Rustival, we booked for Rustival 2 got tickets etc, but sadly unable to come due to my health, gutted was an understatement..

[@thatcheapguy525]

Ian, watching this on my tv, it went into a kind of stretched wide mode at 27:00 when you said 'flip screen'. everything looks stretched by maybe 3x or 4x. for a while I thought the chinese style chicken we had for lunch had psychodelic herbs on it.

[@TrevorBuick]

I wonder what a 2cv Vanden Plas would have looked like 🤔

[@VanWinger]

7:44 Astra Marketed in NA as Pontiac Lemans Aerocoupe - some with Daewoo powertrain

[@HubNut]

Indeed. We had one at Rustival!

[@petroldrinker]

I love these show tours. Great content as always. I can't get there this year as I have family commitments so I appreciate the tour even more. As Christmas is coming perhaps your Christmas present to each other should be some camera equipment? The quality of your videos deserves a better picture. I hate criticising, I love this channel.

[@HubNut]

All videos or just this one? A Live is always going to be poorer quality. Not helped by the orientation being off...

[@petroldrinker]

@@HubNut no, not all videos, and I'm sure live is really tough. Thank you for all the great videos.

[@jayslittleprojects1431]

Damn it missed another live show

[@grahambarrat2540]

Fine

[@MrTimcoronel]

the mullet is looking quite mediaeval. Now add swords

[@jasonward6305]

Hi Ian been trying to give you a preview of the leyland daf 200 . If you want a better look pop round and ask for Jase or Jon.

[@HubNut]

Cheers!

[@adrianmclean9195]

Lol - that Kia, was a Mazda 121 and fun top version in Australia. But Ford Australia also sold it as the Ford Festiva ( not Fiesta .... Ridiculous ), especially when the ACTUAL Fiesta arrived from the UK. Car marketing names never fail to confuse people - their market research often fails. 😂

[@mattphillips4419]

Just a thought, if you set it to landscape, but start in selfie mode, is that what's causing it?

[@darrenfitch]

Turn Auto Rotate Off.... Its not KZbin

[@HubNut]

No it IS KZbin. I set the stream landscape.

[@bondbug73]

It's all gone nuNbuH Ian. 😁

[@HubNut]

Again!

[@2Wheels4Wheels.]

​@@HubNut I didn't think 144p was still achievable but here we are 😅

[@andrewgreen7778]

Nope, not watching if I can only see a tiny bit on screen.

[@adrianmclean9195]

Hi, I was recently going through your older videos, including fleet series one and two - was there a third one ? I was trying to identify two cars in your shed, when you were doing a Mail time with Mrs Hubnut dressed for Christmas. In the background on the left and right, were two cars I haven't seen and couldn't find in your fleet series. One is cream - is it an original BX and is the dark red / Maroon one ( both at the very back ), a Golf ? Please let me know - thankyou Adrian

[@HubNut]

Yugo Sana and an Oltcit.

[@lesklower7281]

I did enjoy all the Japanese cars most Japanese represented Toyota Mazda Honda Datsun/Nissan Mitsubishi l do hope there are a couple of Suzuki's there and the Ford XR 6 and Holden Maloo utes

[@jazzfan6]

31:24 - Lamborghini, not Maserati.

[@HubNut]

Yup. Misspoke.

[@mikespikeey4625]

you got a xr4i with 4x4 wheels on and a xr4x4 with xr 4i wheels on

[@edwardalannewton8591]

Hi

[@keithsmith8378]

You keep mentioning kitch what is that

[@MoniqueStirrups]

Kitch runs the upndown channel

[@grahambarrat2540]

Why covered windows of your car

[@davidjack825]

so people cannot see the filthy interior

[@HowardLeVert]

Why have you shot this in portrait mode?

[@HubNut]

Because KZbin keeps resetting the setting to Portrait, even when you tell it to do landscape.

[@HowardLeVert]

@@HubNut Dear God, I wish it'd try to stop being bl**dy TikTok!

[@stevejelly3161]

They always fail 😞.......a camera will do its job ...... i think they are failed apps just bunged into phones 😞 . Keep up the good work though 🙂

[@grahambarrat2540]

Any Citroen C1 cars
