Yup, obviously.

Re: Thoresby Hall Classic Car & Bike Show 4th May

Seeing as I live 15-20 mins away I best go along

Re: Thoresby Hall Classic Car & Bike Show 4th May

Will need to check if I'm working or not, but might be game

Re: Thoresby Hall Classic Car & Bike Show 4th May

Brooklands is a Looong way from here. (I mean obviously not as far as you, but you're not generally driving it in a Panda when you do a show) 5 hours drive rather than 2. Anyway, it's on the Monday, Brooklands is the Saturday.

Re: Thoresby Hall Classic Car & Bike Show 4th May

Ah yes, I was looking at the wrong month on the calendar, whoops!

Re: Thoresby Hall Classic Car & Bike Show 4th May

Are you having a stand John Dragon Man , or just turning up & paying on the gate?

A long haul for me, but might go if I've recovered from Brooklands. I wouldn't book though, as it's only about 25% chance for me.

Re: Thoresby Hall Classic Car & Bike Show 4th May

ive no idea how to have a stand lmao, but i am going to get in with the show cars.. do the usual trick and park near where the toilets are like last year >_<

so guys if you come down, head down there!

sadly i cant fund a road trip to Brooklands.. :/ i have computer parts to buy with what little cash i have.

Re: Thoresby Hall Classic Car & Bike Show 4th May

I'm working 10 til 14:00 so that rules me out of this one I'm afraid

I don't think I can cope with the drive to brooklands and back in a day with my current work load either so that's the start of the car show season well missed :bang:

I'm going to be a no now as well unfortunately, have to get our original 750L trailered 40 miles to a mates lock up to get MOT work done ready for the Italy run

Sorry not gonna be able to make tomorrow. No road worthy Panda and lots of stuff to do round the house

Re: Thoresby Hall Classic Car & Bike Show 4th May

Looking forward to this, i will see you there, to those who are going.

So after a frustrating day faffing about with Roofus I will definitely be there tomorrow


.....with the wife in her Octavia

Managed to extinguish the injection light yet again after changing the throttle body and the lambda sensor. However after waiting for the rain to let up a bit I ran out of daylight to investigate why he veers wildly off to the right every time I put the brakes on. I can cope trundling a mile or so to work in a 30 limit but for a motorway run? no. Meanwhile Grumbleweed's had one side of his front suspension rebuilt but not the other so also too wayward for a long run just now. Just not a happy fleet at the minute

haha damn.. well if they complain that you are not in a classic, just say that you are delivering tools... to fix a fiat.. i bet they will let your right in hahaha

Well, that's more buying tools to fix a Fiat actually, love the tool stands at Thoresby. Parking up in the public car park though. Of course if I still had the Peugeot road legal that would be old enough to get in now!
