stoneleigh show, who's going?
 

As the title says really, is anyone going to Stoneleigh and if so are you camping there? We're hoping to go this year and it would be good to meet up with fellow builders and perhaps set up camp as a group again. We have a big Iveco Daily camper with a decent sized awning we can put up if the weather isn't so good so there will be a dry place to congregate other than the bars but bring your own beer.

D.

well its a couple of days after my b'day and i'm planing on going up for the weekend to shop for goodies. :)
just waiting from conformation from a friend to see if he's coming poke poke you know who you are :rolleyes:

With luck i will be going

Terry

give me a shout nearer the time to touch base terry
you going up in your roadster or will it not be finished by then?

I'll be there with the scottish kitcar club but it would be good to meet up.

where's the majority of people camping?

Anyone going to the Detling one?

I'm going down there on the Sunday with the better half, then back to Nuneaton for the night in the travel lodge, £15 for the room but the robbing gits want £20 for the dog to stop inthe room. Never been too Stoneleigh before and am looking forward too it and hopefully meet up with some other builders

Arfon

im going
 

Yeah ill be going I live pretty close to it

I'll be there on the Sunday

If it's as cold as it was last year you want thermals, ok during the day but it was 'kin cold at night......tents are a daft way to go camping if you ask me, campers are far more civilised and warmer:D

an estate car comes in handy :)

The roadster won't be quite ready, due to my mums cancer coming back and her passing away a few weeks ago.

So the tin top will have to do or i my go up on my new bike.

Terry

I should be there providing i can get the roadster fixed in time, still waiting on parts!

tilly

Looking promising for a good get together then.

D.

I'm hopeing to make it, not sure what day probably Sat.

I'll be there, camping on the locost stand for the whole weekend.
Really looking forward to it!
Steve

Not as handy as a nice big camper van with heating, hot water and an on board chef:D :rolleyes:

D.

Its on my list,hopefully get time off work and find a reasonably priced flight.:eek:

That's what you call dedication to the cause.

All the way from Australia.

SWMBO doesn't fancy it this year so it'll probably be just me going on the Monday in the oil burning Focus.

D.

How does one book camping? what's it cost etc???

I have just bought a trailer tent and this would be a good outing for it.

TT

Count me in! Shame my ride will not be ready by then =(

Fuel at £1.50 a ltr might cock things up for most people attending shows, hell when I started riding bikes at 16 I could run my ped all week on a fiver and that included 2 stroke oil.

42.9p A Liter when I started driving in 92.


Wife thinks its a good idea, however my mondeo has just killed an injector by the look of it and they flush out bank accounts faster than a man in a black mask.

TT

stop complaining, just be glad you dont have to fill your car up with beer!

Shillings and penny's when I started in "72" :rolleyes:

£1.50 a gallon when I stared driving :eek: then my first car was a model T:D :D

was having a rumage in the garage loft and fownd a cvh 1.8 carb and manifold if anyone wants it? will swap for beer tokens etc. it could save a bit of postage for some one

ok it only 2 and a bit weeks away so whats everyones plan
are we all going to camp in the same area etc.
prices are on the linky below

also does anyone get ckc deliverd by post? as i didnt get any guide to the show in mine?

Well I'm going for sure as i need to go shopping! Last year i was camping with the locost guys and met spike. Will be nice if Haynes can eventual have a stand!

I get CKC delivered and my guide was missing to, i just gave CKC a ring and they posted it on to me.

I'm hoping to be going up for sunday as i still need gauages, fuel pump etc

Terry

I wont be going this year as we have a wedding to think about and most of my attention is surrounded by that at the moment

Dicided that the maiden voyage of our trailer tent should be closer to home, so going to Haven Haggerston for 3 days :)

Will be thinking of you all.

TT

There is something about camping on a bank holiday weekend that does not appeal to me we all know that bank holidays always rain

Should be there depending on the weather.
Gus

Sounds like me, was planning on going this year then realised it is the weekend before my wedding.

Sounds like a perfect way to have your STAG weekend at Stoneleigh then :D

All the best for the BIG day Steve

Had to postpone my stag do as my best man is in hospital, hoping he is out by the wedding.
Unfortunatly not car bits but a new bed.
Hopefully the car will be on the road by next year.

sorry to hear that Steve, hope he makes a speedy recovery , send him best wishes from me.

cheers

The first year that I went to the show, AshG had a garden gazebo, it rained that year, but it was a great meeting point for everyone to come and gather for a beer and BBQ and shelter from the rain. I am not sure it I will will be up this year, on the account that I am getting married in September and costs seem to be running away as always. I dont even know the 200 guests that are invited...! Also just had a large repair bill for the car to replace the coils, plugs, recovery etc following an engine flood.

Its a shame because last year I met up with Eternal and the guys who have been on the forum as long as me. was really looking forward to catching up with a few beers at the CKC event.
