West Midlands Auto Italia Gaydon

[Melanabb]

- that is for the thought of bringing inlaws - they are 69 and showing it!!! I'll add me for now, I can always amend if not coming...

 

[dave]

lots of people that age go, don't forget there is the museum there, the olds like looking around that, they see cars from their past and it brings back memories for them

 

[Noddy]

Just got the time off work so I can ring the Mk1 punto (Sorry dont own a panda lol)

 

[Melanabb]

Quick question: I'd like to be on the stand but can I leave before the end? Never been to Gaydon before but I understand that is not so easy to extract your car from the throng...

 

[dave]

yeah can leave early

 

[paulo arrigoni]

Looking forward to meeting everyone, like Mellandab i may have to sneak away mid afternoon, hope this is OK..

 

[Noddy]

Dave will we be doing a sneak BBQ as per last year or will it deffinetly not be allowed?

 

[dave]

i didn't know they wasnt allowed i wasnt there last year, its not really a bbq is it its gas so just a big gas cooker really. i intended to bring it and Lloyd said he will cook all day

 

[Noddy]

Sounds good, will have to get a family bbq pack from tescos. Will we be putting up the "big tent" if so ill come early so I can help set it up (and stay late to help take it down).

 

[dave]

it would be good if we can get the big one up. took 8 people 2.5 hours to get it up last time though, am going to try and get most of it done the afternoon before though if i can find some helpers

Your count's off a bit there! It took 6 of us 2 hours!

I always wonder about the no BBQ rule - is it so as not to burn the grass? Or to do with the other traders?

 

[dave]

we got there about 7 and left at 10,

 

[Noddy]

Dave,
I was thinking maybe the half size would probably suffice like what was at Brooklands. Plus it didnt take that long for us to take it down did it????

I think the no BBQ rule may come from insurance purposes as it will surley pose a fire risk.

 

[dave]

the small one is a lot less than half size though about a third or a quater i think. will have to see what the weather says nearer the time, the big one will keep a lot more people dry

 

[MR PANDY]

Could be 2nd outing for the new panda

 

[pensuke]

This is for everyone who is a member on FF

I guess i'll be along then,...... along with some siblings (if they can behave).

Also, will there be some FF merchendise to purchase, as i've been meaning to get some stickers for the car, just never got round to it?

 

[ben]

Excellent - looks like this will end up being a cracker

Please also let us know if you'll be able to come up early or stay later to help with the tent - then we can plan which size one to bring.

 

[paulbfd]

I'll be there but in the trade section, please pop along, say hello and have a listen to the Panda
