Fancy a show?

Post 630110 by Biff on 2013-07-28 20:12:18

As I've said in the past myself & my mates are well into our cars. As we all have different makes & models it makes it limited to go to certain shows where we all have an interest. On the 1st September 2013 we will be attending a show at Chumley Castle not far from Chester. I'm aiming to have my car in a drive able safe state by then & plan on attending the show, dents & all. Last year my brother in law won best modified in the show & shine but I very much doubt I will be in any competitions & after missing out on yesterday's north west meet I wondered if any of you boys would be interested? The show is a classic car show but some of our cars are regarded as classics so all welcome. I've been told I can get show passes for £7 which includes occupants of the vehicle so it could be a cheap day out. Sadly the private road isn't bailed off & ready for action like at the pagaent of power. :( If anyone is interested here's the link: http://www.cholmondeleycastle.com/News.asp?S=3&V=1&P=41 Be great to see you & some back me up with a few more of Swedens finest. Dave

I could make that in any of my cars(C70 T5,V70 R or 854 T-5R) if we want to show different Volvo models. I'm in..........

This would be a good outing for Seb's pickup, and close to him too.

I think it would definitely be an occasion for the Gul Mark. If immingham could make it we could have a matching pair. Seb could make eyebrows raised I'm sure... Most of the cars I know of in the show are the same era & modified so would be good to represent.. Mole I realise that mate, I'd love to come to trax but a week before my wedding I'm pushing it. Lol Be great if you could though!

Looking like £7 for a show pass to be on the northwales performance car club stand, plus petrol & food/drink. That's classed as a family pass. It is really for pre 97 cars so I'm cheating a bit but had the ok off the organizer. Not sure if camping is available but will find out!

Im up for this as we are there anyway, we do a lot of the classic shows and providing its dry chomly is a good place to be, also has a great auto jumble

agreed they are great shows, I deal with Andrew greenwoods a lot so wouldn't take much to get a stand for the Volvo owners if so needed, ruling with the classic events is for every 4 pre 96 cars we have then we are allowed one post 96 car i.e 1 in 5 cars can be newer than 96,

Yeah that's what I've been told the rules are although there are plenty of pre 96 cars going so I'm safe. Pop over to see us at the show if your there. Price is £3.50 for a family ticket if your showing peeps so if your interested pm me & I'll sort your tickets. It's £7 normal admission. My mistake.
