Yesterday I had been there for a few hours. Fortunately I could scrounge a exhibitor's-ticket, so I could go there for free and one hour earlier. This early hour in the empty halls I used to make several photos - also for you IMCDB-guys. 
I really run along, to have look in every hall before it was open for the public.
I will post the pics soon, but this evening I'm too tired. My mother-in-law has opened the barbeceue-saison, so I have a full stomach and a little full head, too..
Tomorrow I'll go to a licence-plate-collector's meeting, so I will not be at home.
A propos plates: I just have loaded the pics from my camera to the computer and got nearly a heart rupture and a psychical meltdown at the same time (despite my overloaded paunch and my slightly drunken head). :shock:
During the download I've recognized suddenly, that I took -totally randomly- a pic of the probably one and only existing copy of a hyper-rare german plate, which hangs at a car, which is for sale.
It's a real insider, but this plate is rarer than a blue Mauritius for stamp-collectors. Rarer than the S.C.V.1 of the pope.
I have activated my connections to make a try to get it (if it's still there) tomorrow in the early morning.
I'll wait for the reaction of my "undercover agent", then I'll let explode a little bomb on the collector's convent.
Even if it wouldn't be possible to get the plate, just the photo will make the freaks hysterical.

Pictures pictures pictures...
@ingo, I'm a small time liscene plate collector, (30-40 plates not from any set area...) Do you want any pictures of certain plates?
I have some US, some of different Australian states, some random Arabic one (maybe you can help with that ) and Singapore and Malaysia.

@CCF: i'll do, but right now I have to go work and no time for it.
And the plate-pics I will not post now. We are still busy about them and will not publish the pics, before the situation is cleared.
@marioman: if you could mail me pics, I can ask in my collector's forum. I'm not common with these plates, because some years ago I have reduced my collection. Now I'm only collecting old German plates, and only the former plates of towns and counties, which had lost their numbers in the 70ies.
All others, actual German or plates from other countries I have swapped or sold at eBay, except a few which have personal reminds for me (like the Canadian and US-plates I picked up there on junkyards in 1988 and 1991. Or the old Italian plates of my K 70).
I just want to show you a youtube about an Australian plate-collector, but I must see, that it is deleted.

Hrrrmmmphhh, you are 2 hours to late! For getting a free ticket
I'll be there too, also on Friday - but the 2nd free entry-ticket, I'll get by Volkswagen Klassik, I've promised just one hour ago to my father-in-law. Sorry for that...
Do you have s strict time-corset or would it be possible to meet each other? This would be nice.
And I have to hurry on - I still have to sort out the classic car-magazine, I've promised to you.

Well, I don't know yet what is our Friday precise plan because I ride as passenger with my BMW club friend (actually he's one of founding fathers of BMW Club Poland). However we'll spend whole day on ETC, starting late morning-midday, after the (hotel) breakfast in Bochum.
More info in private email!

You're welcome
If you have some interesting pics for the others here, it would be nice, if you could show them. Of if Pawel maybe has some interesting ones (who had taken more? )
Except that above and of some plates for the plate-freaks, I haven't made more photos.

Next Saturday I will be there again: http://www.oldtimermarkt-bockhorn.com/
For me the classic-car-event with the nicest atmosphere, enjoying every year for new. Except in 2005 I've been there every year - since 1991
