Tickets are in my hands
Oblark As I've just said to loony use your turbo and you'll be fine
Gates open at 0730 and cars should be in position by 0930 there will be 2 entrances dependant on pass colour green/blue or white. I'm sure V8mate will advise on the day. Unfortunately due to the confirmation I have to attend and time frames to get cars in and tickets allocated I may now struggle with attending, I have been reliably informed I will need to pay as a visitor whether my car is alredy in the showground or not ! :frown:

V8mate, would you be able to contact your contact on the organisers side to see if they can make an exception?
[quote=Santa;522202]That doesnt exactly sound fair. V8mate, would you be able to contact your contact on the organisers side to see if they can mate an exception?[/quote] He already has Santa, I have also e-mailed him, they like you to go in with your cars, saves people trying to get in for free.
[quote=V8mate;522190]Oblark As I've just said to loony use your turbo and you'll be fine[/quote] I`m 72 miles away, I will do my best to get to Mcd`s by 8:30 but don`t hold your breath
[quote=V70 Graham;522206]He already has Santa, I have also e-mailed him, they like you to go in with your cars, saves people trying to get in for free.[/quote] Yet you're technically doing the organiser a favour by ensuring there are cars there to show. Supose they have their reasons.

"personal emergency" or something? There's always a way round stuff like this...
Have we got everyone's numbers?? We can alway walk out to the gate if needed as you approach...??
[quote=JUDGENINJA;522314]Have we got everyone's numbers?? We can alway walk out to the gate if needed as you approach...??[/quote] I`ve got martin`s number :wavey:
And I have... well everybody else's lol.
[quote=martinrpeachey;522319]And I have... well everybody else's lol.[/quote] That dosen`t surprise me :D
Yep, they like to taunt me and my "XC" by text too. ;)
Do you feel Left out.... Maybe I should start texting you too!!!
[quote=JUDGENINJA;522482]Do you feel Left out.... Maybe I should start texting you too!!![/quote] .....text the guy organising the show, tell him to let me in plz :frown:
We can try.... I'll just pop out in the car if they start to get funny..!! It's all for the crack, I'm not going to be taking this too seriously..
Right, Annemarie has tonight spoken with the show organiser, he told her we would be able to arrive late so long as we had our ticket, to join the rest of you motly crew..... We will be at McD's at 0800 to say hello, have a coffee and collect our ticket then disappear for a couple of hours returning to hopefully find you all tucked away safe and sound with a nice big space saved for me ! :D
Cool.
I'll guard your spot mate ;) Grrrrr, rrarr, Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. :D
Nice one. I see Martin has volunteered to lay down and guard your car space ;)
[quote=Pinup_gal;522680]Nice one. I see Martin has volunteered to lay down and guard your car space ;)[/quote] Would you wanna try and move me ? ;)
Anybody else want a window poster doing? I'm gonna have to spend an evening cleaning the car so not long left to do more ;)
[quote=martinrpeachey;522686]Would you wanna try and move me ? ;)[/quote] No, I'd be ready with the camera tho :D
[quote=martinrpeachey;522765] I'm gonna have to spend an evening cleaning the car so not long left to do more ;)[/quote] I wouldn`t bother it`s only going to get covered in mud :doh:
[quote=oblark;522769]I wouldn`t bother it`s only going to get covered in mud :doh:[/quote] That reminds me , must clean my wellies off ready to get muddy again!
Sunday's weather... http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2635042
I'll probably get to see if my AWD is working then ;-)
As it`s been raining off and on ( more on than off ) this week and the weather forecast is still forecasting rain for the rest of the week and weekend. Would be an idea for someone to get in contact with the organizers to confirm whether the show is still going ahead ? A local show to me that is also on grass has been called off due to the bad weather.

Annemarie spoke to the show organiser last night re our problem getting in, it was certainly still on then. Only one big shower so far today, so still looking as it's on.
Drove passed the show and all signs are still up Looks like its still on.....:)

AFAIK it's car and 2 passengers.
If not there will be a group of wives and passengers outside the gates lol

[quote=martinrpeachey;523459]AFAIK it's car and 2 passengers.[/quote] That's what I thought as well.

[QUOTE=local-looney;523849]hows the ground looking graham? if you've looked that is!! really dont want to be using the volvo as a tractor........or i come in my sj...lol[/QUOTE] Not really had a look tbh, but I'm guessing after 2000 cars go through the gate we are looking at a mud bath.
