Stoneleigh Show

[AshG]

Ok Guys time to sort out the Stoneleigh arrangements.

This is the Best Show of the year. Its bigger and better than all the other shows put together (YES IT IS THAT GOOD!). Virtually every kitcar company and supplier in existence attends this show, so bring the credit card as there are some mega bargains to be had.

Have spoke to Chris, he will be there camping with us. It looks like its going to be the same as last year, parking and camping on the locost car club stand. we just don't have the numbers to have our own stand yet and the locost lads are a cracking bunch of nutters.

Non kit car drivers (builders/forum members) are very welcome to camp on the stand from Saturday and get in on all the early fun, but you will have to park your tintops with the tents to the side of the stand rather than in the middle of all the kitcars :D.

As usual if you are camping you can get onto the site on Saturday 1st May from 12pm the day before the show. Personally i think its the best day to arrive because you can look at all the kitcars without the general public around and the banter going on in the evening is absolutely fantastic. last year the Wessex Kitcar Club sign right infront of their party marquee got blanked out in the night with duct tape to read SEX CLUB :D. there is usually a few live bands on and a bit of a disco so lots of fun to be had.

The official show days are then Sunday 2nd and Bank Holiday Monday 3rd. 9:30am to 5pm if your not camping.

Tickets are £10 in advance and £12 on the gate. If you come in a kitcar the Driver gets in for free.

The address is
Royal Showground
Stoneleigh
Nr. Kenilworth
Warwickshire
CV8 2LZ

Put your name on the list if you are coming followed by the days you will be attending.

[Davey]

We're planning to be there but my tin top is 7 metres long and 4.2 tonnes:eek: will there be room in your camping area for it? If not I'm sure we can find somewhere to park it:D . Got a couple of jobs in on the Saturday so it'll be late on Sat afternoon before I can get over there.

[flak monkey]

Me and Sarah will both be there with the car if its properly up and running by then.

[AshG]

I think camping was a fiver last year.

[MightyMouth]

I will definiately be there Saturday and Sunday and maybe Monday, I will be in my tintop again as an unexpected £3200 bill put the kaibosh on the roadster for a while, though I am back at it now. Last year was great fun and I imagine this year with a few more cars on the lot will be even better.

Doh I guess I am supposed to add a running total.

Looking forward to it :)

adrian why do you need the tintop. if you are driving there on your own then you can stuff all your gear in the passenger footwell and the rest in the boot.

[richardk]

Is it going to be the same as previous years of parking round the edge and pitching your tent directly behind your motor? Then fill in the middle.

Just thought I'd mention it as I reckon its going to be a busy site this year!

Andy, will you be bringing your gazebo again this year cos that was dead good last year.

See you all soon, looking forward to putting faces to the names, should make up name badges :D

Take care

Rich

[Davey]

"Andy, will you be bringing your gazebo again this year cos that was dead good last year."


Not saying that a gazebo won't be needed but my "tin top" has a 4.5 metre roll out awning attached to its side and we have a gas powered external griddle too;) , if you can accomodate a 7 metre Iveco Daily on the pitch?

D.

[MightyMouth]

I thought it was Ash's Gazebo, in any case I have a Gazebo that I can bring if necessary but it doesn't have the side curtains which were usefull last year

Yes, the Gazebo we had last year was indeed Ash,s, not sure if it,ll be there this year as depends if Ash can strap it to his Roadster:D I suppose it,ll be a case of Gazebo or tent????

Ahhhh cheers Ash, very good of you to bring the gazebo & for you to sleep under the stars :D :D

Orite Guys,

Ye looking forward to stoneleigh, just coming down for the sunday

hopefully see you there!

[AshG]

Woah thats a lot more people on the list than i expected.

if every one turns up then we may have a problem. the stand wont be big enough for all the tintops plus tents and kitcars. think we may have to set-up the tents on the stand then park the tin-tops out the way in the family camping area, otherwise we all wont fit.

shouldn't be too much of a problem. I will be there early on saturday so if you see a mad looking bloke flapping his arms about trying to direct you where to setup your tent then chances are it will be me or chris.

[GraemeWebb]

I'll be a day visitor, only live up the road.

[davidimurray]

I will be up for one day with my girlfriend and possibly a mate - is there a better day to go for the bargains?

[Peter-C]

I'll be a day visitor, probably Sunday or Monday.

[Peter-C]

I was just thinking ,(its ok it won't become a habit) with all these forum people at Stoneleigh, would it be a good idea that you take any spare bits, tools, etc. to be distributed amongst members. It would save on postage especially for large and heavy parts.

I will take my surplus to requirements Axminster reamer. Free to a good home.

free to anyone who wants them

tilly

[martin62]

If you dont mind I will have them I will be at Stoneleigh

[Tilly819]

tilly

As Ash was saying, it seems there are too many camping to accomodate on the Locost stand.

Really we're not supposed to camp on the stand but they turn a blind eye to a few tents.:)

We think the fairest way to go would be to have the people with Roadsters at the show to camp on the stand (to be near their cars) and everyone else to camp together on the camping ground.

I hope that this will be acceptable for everyone, The alternative is for no one to camp on the stand and all camp together.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers

Chris :)

[richardk]

My preference would be for the first option as I prefer to be near my motor, sad I know!

See you all there. Is there anybody that could bring a gazebo again? Would be nice.

Cheers

[AshG]

i have still got the gazebo that we had last year. im not sure it it will strap onto the back of the car but i will have a go. failing that someone coming up from the south is more than welcome to come and pick it up from mine.

[richardk]

Thanks Ash !

How far is the Family Camping Area from the Locost stand? I was hoping to bring my 5 year old son along but also to spend the evenings talking like we did last year. If those of us no bringing our roadsters have to camp elsewhere I won't be able to get my son to sleep nearby so I can keep an eye on him unless I can squeeze into the locost stand somewhere.

[Bonzo]

Hi Adrian

The Locost stand is provided by the Locost car club & as far as I know it has nothing to do with Locostbuilders site.

I dare say that many of the Locost Car Club membership are also members of Locost builders.

The Locost Car Club have been kind enough to provide space on their area to accomodate Haynes Roadster builders & their cars :cool: :)

Hi Ash I will be a day visitor both days SHMBO says she wants to stay around birmingham to do a bit of shoping.So happy days

[Bonzo]

It is just I was under the impression the Locost Car club was defunt.
Adrian

Yes I believe the Locost car Club is closed to new members .

At Soneleigh last year, Chris Gibbs did explain the reasons as to why the club had been closed to new members & very sound they were too :)

I believe that the Locost stand has been booked as a block booking & that booking still has a year or two left.

Chris hopes that once the Locost booking expires, Haynes will provide the funding for the next block booking. :cool:

Should it ever become the Haynes Roadster stand .... One would hope that the Roadster builders will return the favour & share the facilitys with some of the great Locost lads :) :)

I think we need some organisation sorted.

There's not going enough space for everyone to camp on the Locost club stand, does everyone agree that those with Roadsters should have priority?

We need to sort out how we can camp together on the camp site, otherwise we're going to be seperated, which won't be as much fun.

It was mentioned that we might have a communal BBQ on the Sunday night, the easiest way is for everyone to bring their own food. Does anyone have a biggish BBQ that they could bring or a gazebo?

All ideas greatfully received :D

Cheers

Chris :)

[Davey]

Booked our tickets yesterday. We have a 7 metre bright red and black Iveco minibus converted into a motorhome with a 4 metre awning on the side and a gas griddle that plugs into the side of the van in the awning:D Although its not huge but can cope if everyone brings their own food (I'll tell SWMBO later:D ). We should be arriving mid afternoon on the Saturday and we can happily be a centre point of the general camping area. Totally agree that the stand should be populated by Roadster exhibitors/drivers/owners. Let me know if this is OK:D .

D.

In edit, if someone wants to act as central co-ordinator let us all know and we can PM mobile Nos to contact on the day.

[Tilly819]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

get that thing on the stand, im all for camping in comfort lol :D

Oh i also got round to painting the car so it wont be in primer i havnt posted any pics though il just let you all have a good nose at it at the show, only just realised that its weekend after next still got a few jobs to do to get it show worthy

tilly :D

[Davey]

Tilly, If I put "that thing" on the stand there won't be much room for Roadsters:D . Happy to be a central point for a "polite meeting":p when the show is closed though;) .

Obviously Roadsters should have priority on the stand. It would be nice if we could have the evening gathering in the camping area though.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I have a gazebo I can bring. I can bring a normal round BBQ but it will not be Big enough I fear, we will probably need 2 or 3 this size. Also I would remind everyone to bring a chair to sit on.

[Chris Gibbs]

I think Davey's motorhome would be a great focal point both for the camping and for the BBQ, I suggest that we all chip in for the extra gas.

Would this work? If Davey sends his number to everyone who is camping we could call him on arrival and be "talked in" to our spot.

I'd organise this myself but I've got a meeting in Coventry on Saturday afternoon.

I don't want to impose on people but I think a bit of organisation will make things run more smoothly ;)

I hope Davey will be cool with this :)

It'll save me driving about for 20 mins looking for a big red Gazebo & HandyAndys van !!

Thought I was going blind last year !!??.... It turned out that the Gazebo hadn't been erected yet & Andys van was right behind me cos I was in his way :o

Bet Andy thought " What is that stupid twat in front of me doing " :D

Nooooooooo Ronnie, I was lost too :o I was thinking that i,d follow that car that was going slowly so the cars behind me wouldn,t blame me for driving so slowly :D

sounds like a good plan..... Burger n chips please Davey.......thought I,d get my order in first :p

[dogwood]

I remember last year, I couldnt find the stand for love nor money.
Ended up phoning Ash, hoping he could "talk me in"
Then I see some loony runnng across the field with a beer in hand.
So I stopped, he handed me a beer and said
"Hi I'm HandyAndy, you must be Dogwood"
Well done that man, pretty much set the scene for the whole weekend....:D

good fun..

cheers

[AshG]

i have still got my gazebo from last year. might try and drop it off to ginge one evening next week so he can bring it up in his massive 4x4.

the bbq last year was a £15 one from b&Q. im sure we could stop in cov and buy one, i know where all the shops are if someone wants a ride out in the roadster.

[HandyAndy]

What about the disposable BBQ's you can buy, anygood?

Adrian

yes they are good but don,t last very long, i seem to remember last year we had BBQ,s cooking food for hours on & off :D
I,ll be taking my little camping stove with plenty of gas cannisters ( the mini oven top style from Halfrauds )....."perfic" for the morning cuppa :)

cheers

[HandyAndy]

A tarp to put over the Roadster at night time ;) unless we get nice weather:)
Tho, saw quite a few 7 style cars INSIDE tents last year :rolleyes:

Hi guys, we'll happily play target for you but we won't be arriving till mid afternoon as I have a satellite system to fit in the morning. I'm presently sitting in a field in Peterborough and nicked the Mrs netbook for 10 mins. Don't worry about chipping in for gas just bring plenty of beer and Smirnoff Ice for the Mrs. I'll pm my phone No to all on Monday when we're back home. Mrs won't cook for everyone but you'll be welcome to use the griddle if you bring your own food. if anyone else can bring a BBQ too it will help with so many to feed:D . Spud, the washing mc barby will be most welcome I'm sure:D . Gotta go now as me belly pork is done so I'm told:D :D .

I know Davey has offered to PM his number to everyone on Monday but if it helps I will be there from the minuet the gates open on Saturday until the last knockings on Monday.

I have a Tesco pay as you go mobile which I use when I go to odd army camps that have no orange signal, (Tesco phone has signal everywhere!)

The number is 07546080056 I will have it turned on from now until the end of Stoneleigh.

Feel free to ring when you get close, hopefully I will find Ash as soon as I get there and we will come up with a plan and then can direct people in.

Hope this helps.

Cheers Ginge

Hi Tilly
Last year I just turned up.
Found a motly crew to camp with no probs.
Think it was 20 squids without kit car
Don't know with....


Bottom...Too late again

[AshG]

didnt pay to get in last year in the tintop. i was the locost stand support vehicle.

[slimtater]

Will there be room for a Locost TreVoR on the stand on Monday?
It likes shows:

[AshG]

you can have a spot as long as you turn up with my no9 badge. if there isnt a spot on the locost stand I can get you on to the southern kitcars stand. my mate chris will already have his wedge on that stand so you shouldn't look too out of place.

[AshG]

sunny weather is already agreed and booked. :D

[thwang]

hope to be there on monday but my heads in bits at the mo i,m on a 18 wks waiting list for a op on my elbow/shoulder that might aulter/change my working arrangements.

Still number 4 is it??

It is - can't see anyone nipping in at the 12th hour claiming to steal your spot!

[aerosam]

Anybody know if you can turn up and camp on the Sunday? I can't make it up Saturday so was planning on arriving about 4pm Sunday, camping, and making a good long day of it on the Monday.

[John Marchant]

Hoping to make my way up and camp saturday night. I just can't stand the thought of all you guys drinking all of the beer before I get there. I will be coming up in my Bugatti Veyron (with a full Ford Mondeo body kit). Do I have to park in a different place to all of the kitcars?

[Bonzo]

Hi John

I am sure one of us chaps will be able to direct you to our little section in the camping area ;) :D

Ginge has put his mobile number in this thread .... Give him a call when you get there, I am sure he'll give you directions to the Roadster encampment :)

[gingea1pom]

From the people I know. (There are more) The following are bringing their completed Roadsters.

AshG
Dogwood
Spud69

I would love to bring my chassis along but no trailer and no tow bar on the wife’s tin top!!!!

Yep, just called them, it's no problem. Thanks Ginge. Can't ask you guys to keep a space for me till then, but I'll call the number given when i arrive just on the off-chance.

[Coozer]

Whats the crack with camping now? Seems theres not enough room on the show off stand, are we camping elsewhere?

LG,
Steve

[gingea1pom]

Coozer,

I stand to be corrected so don’t quote me but I think Roadster owners are camping on the stand and the centre of all things Roadster will be there (including Daveys van). The likes of you and I will wonder back to our pits by our tin tops in the camping field just to sleep.

PLEASE correct me if I am wrong (Ash Chris)

Cheers Ginge

[dogwood]

I seem to recall there is a family camping area just a short walk.
Stumble even...:rolleyes: from the locost club stand.

I may be tempted to camp there myself coz it's near the bogs.
and my pea bladder wife cant manage with a bottle..:p

[Davey]

I'll camp where I'm told to but I thought I was putting my van in the general camping area as with the awning out it covers a 7X4metre area, even more if we stretch the front of the awning out on poles, more like 7X6 then. I'll try to find a photo so you all know what to look for:D .

[Davey]

Here's a photo of it all set up as our show stand last weekend at Peterborough.

D.

[gingea1pom]

Davey,

You could well be right,

We will either wait for someone who is more knowledgeable about the Stoneleigh set up or wait until we get there.

Either way I believe your beast will be the focal point.

Cheers Ginge

[Davey]

Okay Ginge, looks like we might just get away before midday Saturday so could be there by 2 pm ish, I'll bell you when we're nearly there.

Here's another go at posting the last photo.

D.

Doh, for some reason it won't let me upload the last photo, anyway you can get an idea of what to look for from my previous post.

D.

[Bonzo]

Even I can find that Davy :D :D

I must say .... That monster awning will make a great place for us to sit & chat the night away :cool:

Off to bed now .... Being a good boy this week, not working on the Roadster so as I am fit & able for the show :)

[Coozer]

How far is the camping field from the stand? Was hoping to be near all you very nice social guys and gals:) :)

LG,

[dogwood]

Stonleigh show guide.
Incase anyone aint seen it.

http://issuu.com/completekitcar/docs/stoneleigh_showguide_-_may_2010_lr

On page 31 it shows the layout
I think we were on pitch 39 or 40
I'm sure someone will remember and correct.
There is a camping area just near the Dakar pickup point.
Number 82.

[CaptainCrash1971]

Never been to Stoneleigh before. The original plan was to come down with a couple of mates and camp over Saturday and Sunday nights. Unfortunately they had to drop out, so has left me on me tod!!
Couple of questions.
1) Is there any more like minded No Mates, be it Billy, Trevor, Steve, Alan or whatever? Don't really know anyone off here, but you all seem a friendly bunch.
2) Will probably now just come down Saturday afternoon and travel home Sunday after the show, do I need to book in for the camping or can I just show up.
Cheers
Alan

[Chris Gibbs]

The Locost car club stand is 39c.

I think the idea is that everyone camps together in the camping area with Davey's van and anyone who arrives in a Roadster has the option of pitching their tent on the stand to be near their cars, if they want to.

There'll be plenty of introductions Alan, I know a few people but really this will be the first serious meet up so you won't be an outsider (bring beer!)

You won't need to book for the camping, there's usually loads of room.

Cheers

Chris :)

[dogwood]

The place will be full of "Billy no mates"
it comes from spending all ya time on ya own in the garage..

Just turn up and join the rest of us...
Last year was my first time, I just fell in with this great bunch of nutters

[Coozer]

I know a few but not many, hoping the nutty majority can bring me out of my shell and have a good time!

Then when I go home happy (and wet) I can laugh all the way back to DH5:) :)

Just turn up, pay on the gate and your in! Phone the number from earlier in this thread and you will not look back.

LG,
Steve

[HandyAndy]

Anything that will fall out of the sky at Stoneleigh will seem like drizzle to us Cornish folk :D

Alan

Don't fret mate .... I'll be up there on my lonesome too ( Another Billy no mates )

Last year, I had an absolute blast & had a very warm welcome from everyone I met.

Heck, even Chris Gibbs spoke to me .... He said " Get out of my way " :D

Only kidding, Chris is a top guy :)

[eSteve]

Glad to see there will be good turn out at the show. Can't wait to have a good look round some finished roadsters and to pick up some inspiration that will turn my pile of wood (for the build table) and metal in to a car!

Does anyone remember my second post "Will I fit: footwell length and driver height?"? http://www.haynes.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=3745. It would be nice if some kind member would let us try their Roadster for a 'fitting'.

We are (that's me and my wife) planning on dropping in to the show on Sunday pm, but depending on the weather it may be Monday morning. We are staying overnight nearby, not in a tent I hasten to add, stopped camping many moons ago.

Might have to bring the mutt. Does anyone know if dogs are allowed in to the show ground? Otherwise we'll leave him in the car with a few copies of CKC.:D

[dogwood]

im completly normal.

Morning campers.

Well it rained all night, I am just cooking breakfast and don't know how any one else faired as I hav'nt steped out of my tent yet

Hope there is no rain today, it is a little chilly though.

Cheers Ginge

[eSteve]

Mornin' gingea1pom,

I'm jealous, not of you spending a night in a tent with the rain, but having a good fry-up in the morning, when the rain's stopped and the sun is peeping through is the marvelous bit about camping...

I hope the sun is peeping through for you lot. It is in Bournemouth, will be leaving soon and be up at the show later on today. Hope the weather holds.

P.S It was certainly quiet on the forum last night with you lot away.

[twinturbo]

Last time I camped we went out for the day in the pouring rain, returned to sunshine at the campsite and a tent that had been flattend by gales... Static caravan's are a good retreat :)

TT

[Davey]

Well its rained all night till about 6 am then it got windy. Its calmed down a bit now and bodies seem to be resurfacing from their tents although there is no sign of life from the Gibbs household as yet.

Anyway here's a photo of our camping area hopefully. Errm not happening! For some strange reason it won't let me attach a file, I'll try again later.

D.

[slimtater]

Is there a mobile rolling road there this year? If so, who, how much and capacity?
Ta.

[alga]

Davey: use a photo hosting site like http://imgur.com/ and then paste the link in the message.

[twinturbo]

How are raffle sales going?

[gingea1pom]

What a day!

I spent £250 by 11 o'clock! Got almost every thing on my list including the seats I wanted no Sieara track rod ends though!

It is freezing cold but I have spent most of the day inside.

Slimtater, I haven't seen a rolling road but that doesn't mean there isn't one here I will ask when we all gather at 7 tonight.

TT, only done 20 Quids worth but I said I will do all the selling tonight. The 20 quid is from people who where thrusting money in my hand, I just couldn't say no.

Handyandy has been pushing the Roadster on the Locost stand with one of his Chassis kits, Ash's car and my banner. So top marks for him, it's freezing.

Looks like Ash's car might be on the CKC stand tomorrow.

I'm of to see if I can get Davey's Mrs to make me a brew.

OK there is steem coming from the back of LesG's van looks like the kettle is on.

Bumped into Chris Gibbs looking at his book in a glass case on the Deamond Tweeks stand, funny.

Oh I saw VBH she looks better on the tely!

This is killing my thumb typing on the BlackBerry and there is no spell checker!

Cheers Ginge

[Davey]

As Ginge says its bleedin' freezin' here! I ain't spent a penny on anything roadster related much to my dismay, I was planning on spending around £750ish but no one seems to have what I want :-( . Never mind, tomorrow's a whole new shopping day.

Ginge, the Mrs says kettle's on mate ;-)

[John Marchant]

Thanks to everyone for making me welcome, especially for the cup of tea this morning after a cold wet night. Tent going straight back to argos in the morning, it's crap. Had a great time and hope it@s warmer dryer for the rest of you tonight.

[davidimurray]

Just got back form the show. Was a fantastic - great to stand around with other roadster builders and wax lyrical :D Great to finally meet the two Andys - the Saturn stand looked fantastic - much bigger than I expected! Happened to pop next door as well and order my Triton seats from Emma:D Good to meet Ronnie (thanks again for the seat runners) and gus. Almost got hold of Ginge but he seemed to be on his bargain hunting mission this morning and evaded my capture through the exhibition hall! Surprised not to see that many bargains around - but you could save a few quid here and there - I got a fuse box which was twice the price on some other stands! Still managed to pick up lots of useful bits and have a look round and get lots of inspiration. Dying to get back out in the garage and get to work again! Think I will have to consider camping next year!

[HandyAndy]

hi all, its still freezing here, tho thankfully its not raining at the mo...

shock horror...i actually spent some money on Roadster bits :D

just had a few drinks with everyone in the bar, live band , good banter, great night.

cheers
andy

[slimtater]

Anyone found the rolling road yet? ;)

[HandyAndy]

Anyone found the rolling road yet? ;)

i haven,t seen or HEARD it , sorry :(

are you coming over in the TVR Slim?

cheers
andy

[CaptainCrash1971]

Drove 200+ miles to get to the show today with tent in boot ready for tonight. Got there, managed to miss everyone Roadster related, froze me bits off, bought loads of tools and some suspension bolts, then drove 200+ miles home again cos it was bloody freezing.
Good show though, hopefully will be there in my own roadster next year and will hopefully get myself a bit more organised and arrange to meet up with some of the guys.
Severe lack of roadster related items though, it's a good job I live within spitting distance of Saturn for all my bits!!
Hope you guys ain't too cold tonight camping out, I'm just sitting in my nice warm living room drinking vodka n red bull and watching re-runs of 1986 auf wiedersehen pet.
Cheers lads
Alan

[slimtater]

i haven,t seen or HEARD it , sorry :(

Yes Andy - hoping for "guest" status on the LCB/Haynes plot!!

[gingea1pom]

Well nearly there now.

Great night last night (sleep wize) woke up late to find Davey wondering over with a brew.

We had a good chat / discusion about the club. I will leave that to Handy Andy, he was taking notes.

For the Roadster I got, Seats, Fan, headlights, 3mm rubber strip also tools. Spent £300.

Great weekend more to come once I am back on a computer with a spell checker!

Cheers Ginge

[Bonzo]

Well that's me back home, rested & back in the land of the living.

That was a marathon 560 mile round trip for me, left Stoneleigh ( Sunday ) at about 7.15pm & arrived back home at 12.30am.

Firstly .... Sorry for bailing out on all of you after the first day .... Geared up for both nights but unfortunately, I did not travel up to the show as well as I had hoped & arrived a little bit frazzled !!

Appart from freezing me nuts off, I had an absolute blast at the ground .... Fantastic meeting everyone once again & even more fantastic meeting so,so many new faces :cool:

Sorry If I missed anyone on the day & so, so sorry that I did not get a propper chance to have a natter with Esteve .... Like ships that passed in the night & just a quick hands up accross the crowd.

A Special thanks must go to Davy & his good lady for the hospitality given to one and all .... I think without that awning mate, we would have been tucked up in our tents by 8pm on Saturday night hiding away from the rain :eek:

Thanks also to Handy & John .... They both kept the tea flowing, just like being at home :)

Ohhh .... Ash mate .... Check your car ??? .... I think I may have left one of my kidneys in it :D

For those of you still there or visitng today, have a great time.

Me !!?? .... Counting the days down till next year.

[Davey]

We got back about half an hour ago. Great show and fantastic to meet everyone. The awning was no bother Bonz, it always goes with us when we're in the camper (difficult to not take it seeing as its bolted to the roof:D ).

Didn't really buy anything for my build:( as I couldn't find much that was of any real use to progress it right now. All I bought was a pair of battery cutoff switches one of which is for the camper. I did well in the raffle though with three prizes:D , Handy's welding clamps, a vinyl roadster decal and that huge bar of chocolate:rolleyes: .

I'll now try again to post that photo, more to come later.

D.

[Bonzo]

That photo came up OK Davy .... Keep em coming mate :cool:

How cold was it last night & how was the weather today ??

Froze me bleeding nuts off yesterday :eek: :D

I am sure you'll agree, a great time was had by all :)

[Davey]

It was even colder last night Ronnie, at least I reckon it was. After the meeting most of us went over to the warwick building where there was warmth, people, a bar and a live band who turned out to be pretty good. Way too much alcohol was consumed, a few were sensible but I try very hard not to do sensible after 7pm:p .

D.

[Spikehaus]

Just got home from the Show. It was great to see everyone again this year. Sorry it was just a flying visit but managed to put a few more faces to names. Total spend this year - £5 on a coil over spanner! I know there was less traders but thats just silly and a wasted opportunity! Great talk on suspension set up arranged by TKC.

Broke my promise made last year of having the car on the stand, so will not ever male foolish statements like that again!:) At least Ash proved it could be done.

[Coozer]

Well chaps, great meeting you all and yes, thanks to Dave for the cover when the rain was lashing down.

Last night was very good, everyone having a good laugh and the alcohol made me sleep through all the MK noise:)

Nice to see you all, plenty of laughs despite the weather and can't wait for next year!

LG,
Steve

[aerosam]

great to meet all of you for the first time. A great friendly bunch - many thanks to all.

Spent about 200 quid on bits for my build, got mirrors, harnesses, fuel filler, rear lights, 2 slick tyres, the new CKC electrics book and a radiator!

Really enjoyed John Dickens talk on electrics, at least it's given me some more confidence to have another go at mine.

[HandyAndy]

:eek:
what day is it?
the last few days have been a blur....

It was great to see everyone again, & to put faces to names of alot of forum members I hadn,t met before, thanks all for making it a great weekend, albeit a wet & cold weekend.

My apologies to anyone that i didn,t get chance to say bye to & hoped you all had a safe journey home.

A big thanks to "Davey & Mrs Davey" for the luxury of the motorhome/awning & the never ending supply of hot food on the go, :)

I would like to say thanks for all the members attending the "Club" meeting in awful weather, thankfully we had the protection of the "Davey" awning.

I enjoyed the show despite the weather & even spent some money on nice "Bling" bits for my Roadster :D

Roll on next year :cool:

cheers

[Coozer]

Roll on Newark there Andy!:) :)

thanks to everyone for the hospitality,banter and company it was a good weekend that was only marred by a bit of crap weather at times
expecting to come home to a roast but the missus was adamant i was going to treat her to a chinese !!!!!!!!! i moaned at the cost
she said i,d spent a fortune at the show
i said i hadn,t bought anything
she said i was fibbing
i swore i hadn,t
she then trumped that with " i saw the list you and Tj had written " and if you have bought half of that then ...............
we had chinese of course!!!!!!!!!!
cheers les g

PS . good job she didn,t see the finished list or look in the back of the van

Hi David

Firstly, a very warm welcome to the forum.

Secondly, so, so sorry for paying thanks to John for all of the tea :o

Got a brain like a sieve when it comes to names, my signature says it all really :D

David, thank you so much for all of the tea you made for me over the weekend mate :)

Les

Glad you enjoyed the week end & had a good run back home.

It was a real pleasure to meet you & TJ.

Hope you have stashed the contents of your van mate ;)

Got back late, 11pm, last night after being rained on and my hat blew off doing a ton on the M1 so had a very cold head the last 100 miles. Car did the return trip silky smooth, lovely comfy ride.

Had a great weekend, shame the weather was a bit pants though. Was very successful for Saturn and Haynes as a group. Sorry we couldn't spend much sociable time but it was all a lot busier and tiring than any of us thought it would be. Will know better next time.

Was good to meet plenty of fellow builders and put faces to names and thank for the box of tinnies Ginge, we'll be enjoying them tonight.

Thanks All.....AndyH + Anja + Adam

Good job you elaborated on that sentence Chris :eek: :D

At One point, this is what I heard from Ash's tent " Lift up the flaps & push it in " !! :D

Wished I could have made the show as Em and Ed's first appearance and wanted to lend a hand but you know what I reckon they did better doing it by themselves.......I'm so impressed with the amount of orders they came away with not too mention a few companies wanting to be supplied by them...:cool:

Well done Em and Ed.....from one chuffed to bits Dad:cool:

[gus]

The seats on display were fantastic, every time I was in that hall there were folk sitting in the seats & discussing them with Em & Ed,

Top marks to Em & Ed, no wonder big named firms want their seats, the quality was top notch:cool:

In fact I can imagine that they were both shattered after the show cos they were so busy.
Well done on a successful first show :)

cheers

Fabby - you should be proud they were doing a fantastic job. Having read all the reccomendations on here and having tried a few seats at Exeter I was looking forward to trying the seats out. About 20 minutes later and a good chat with Emma I was walking away with a lighter wallet and a set of wide seats on order and a smile on my (and my girlfriends) face - this was at 11am on the sunday as all the stock wide seats they had brought to the show had gone so I got first inline on the ones to be made :D Looking at the seats the quality is fantastic and as far as I can tell there is no-one out there offering seats in such a 'sensible' range of sizes - a few I tried would have benefitted from a pot of vaseline! All the best to Emma and Ed for the future - I can't wait to sit around the lounge watching TV in them .......... or maybe I should actually install them in the car :p

[AshG]

One thing I did get lots of from the show was enthusiasm and a big boost to want to get back on to my build:D . Just got to finish tiling the kitchen floor, redecorate three bedrooms, sort out the garden, finish fixing No1 daughter's Fester and probably another dozen jobs which I'm determined not to remember for a bit yet then I can get back to it.
