Quick reminder folks, we're not going to have the bbq with us this year and although we will be providing tea and coffee, soft drinks and various snacks we won't be providing lunch. There is catering on site though and there was a very nice burger stall there last year too. You can always bring your own food as well if you think you won't be able to survive on burgers and farm shop goodies

Going to give Dubster a hand wash later today.

Knowing my luck the minute I start washing him it'll start pissing down.

Working an early on Saturday, so when I get home, do last minute preps & then sleep.

Ya cheeky begger Stephen.

Mainly used Autoglym Intense Tar Removal. Going to give Dubster a Jet Wash on Saturday.

Hoovered him out & got rid of god knows how much rubbish from inside Dubster.

There's good news and bad news.

The good news is any car that has problems with speed bumps can use the main entrance that is being reserved for the supercars as long as you get there early (probably before 9.30 at the absolute latest). Can you let me know if you need to use this entrance and roughly what time you expect to arrive so that I give the marshals a heads up to expect you

The bad news is the rest of us are using the same farm road as last year.

 

[Andi9386]

So no going across from the Car Park then??

Looks like I'll need to give Dubster a wash then if I have to use the back enterance.

not unless you've lowered your car recently

As said, if anyone is concerned about whether or not their car can cope with a farm road then post up and we'll notify the marshals that you'll need to use the main entrance. But you will have to get there early to do so.

All the entrances will be clearly signposted including the parking for non-Italian cars. Any other queries please just ask and we'll do our best to answer

Ha ha no, Dubster's not been lowered, can't afford to lower him.

I've put a wee post in Scottish Fiat Enthusiasts on the off chance anybody in there's going on Sunday with a low Car.
Said for them to be on site for 09:30 at the latest.

 

[weejock1979]

Need to give the stilo a good clean the joys of having two kids see you on sunday folks

 

[lowered punto]

Harper

i will be there early to help you setup so you can let the marshals know blue grande punto reg sw59cwz hope to be there about 8 will need to go main entrance as cars to low for farm tracks lol

see you all sunday guys

 

[lkc]

Cheers @lowered-punto. Make it after 8 though as I'll probably need to stop for some supplies in Asda. Between 8.15 and 8.30 will be plenty time to get the zeebo up and everything in place plsnthx

ETA: there probably won't be marshals in place when you arrive so if you enter the site through the main entrance, head to the far left side of the car park and follow whatever signs are in place from there. We'll be at the far end of the field away from the farm shop.

Change from last night's post. Turns out only some of the information from the post above is getting posted on facebook and the very important section in bold is being left out.

Please folks, if you're sharing this with friends on facebook give them all the information and not just some of it. Make sure they know that they have to inform us if they need to use the main entrance. This is a much for their convenience as the marshals as they'll pass through a lot quicker if they are expected.

I was hoping to get parked up in amongst all the other italian cars and have my Abarth on display a bit, what time should we be turning up at if that is the case? Also any talks of a convoy, few of the abarth guys are wondering, myself included as we were going to come along as a convoy.

There is a convoy thread on the go here if you're coming from the south or west. You're welcome join them however if you can't make that then as long as you're all on site before 10 am then your cars should be on the stand. How may of you are joining us from Abarthisti?

The Cinq will not be making an appearance. Not managed to get it ready for the mot in time, very, very close but the emissions issue is still going to be there so no point in putting it in for a test only for it to be a certain fail.
