but then at gaydon there gave us loads of free stuff no umbrellas though

I'm still finding pens, frisbees and caps now.

I can't believe I gave that kid the model car, how nice am i? (I did trade it for a GP keyring though)

 

[JFL]

i booked the friday before off work

 

[Stu DemonD]

i booked the friday before off work

Why - the show is on Sunday

 

[JFL]

Why - the show is on Sunday

it will also give me a day to prepare my car from all the grime it will get on it at work

Why - the show is on Sunday

[Stu DemonD]

Is it? Poo ... I need to check my plans now - aargh....

 

[JFL]

nope 3rd may is saturday

thats what i thought as well

i have checked about 6 calendars, and 4 diarys and they all say the same.

how many can we fit on the stand?

 

[Stu DemonD]

Ah, so Brooklands is the only one on a Saturday - grrrs....

Can fit loads on the stand

 

[JFL]

how close do people get to the cars if they come to look at them. do they go in them? or anything

You are obliged to leave your keys in the ignition, so members of public can start them up, etc.

I remember in 2005, Dave didn't see his Punto for like 2 hours

 

[JFL]

hows about i dont, and then if they want to have a look they can ask

dont fancy my sat-nav, cd's, mints etc going walkies either

 

[dave]

Stu's messing about, people at shows are normally like minded people so respect each others cars, see 1 or 2 local chavs wandering about but there usually always some one left on stand to keep an eye

 

[JFL]

Silly Stu.

I can bring my key that only opens the door but wont start the engine

Shall i bring my display boards?

are we having a marquee?

 

[Jamie]

are we having a marquee?

dunno yet

i still got mine from last years show season :chin:

we kinda smashed our old FF gaybo at gaydon last year

 

[dave]

we have a new big marquee 3mx6m, but it wont be going to here as it too big and cant peg it down on concrete

 

[T-Jet 120]

This sounds very interesting, i think i might come along to this one and put my T-Jet GPS on the stand if thats ok? Its 157 miles away so it'll drink the petrol but i go on holiday on the 6th for a week so won't have to fill up in that week. i'll use that as excuse for the missus.

 

[dave]

yeah thats cool. we have never had to turn a member away from a stand through lack of room yet at a show, so just add your self with the button at the top

 

[Gary]

I will be there in the 100hp,

We meeting up at Tescos for breakfast again or just going to try and get in without paying again
