cms206 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I may have missed posts to this effect but it's now time for me to submit holidays for the year ahead so trying to get a head start... are we having a Shitefest this year? This isn't me signing up to organise it 'cos the SVM have nowhere to actually host it, unfortunately.

Supernaut Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 My parents have a farm. I'll ask them whether they want some weirdos from the internet turning up in their crap cars. Not sure how much interest there would be, with it being being rural Aberdeenshire though... However, me and 17-Coffees were trying to drum up interest in the idea of a mini-shitefest at How Many Left in Alford in May, if that is of interest. It's usually a fun and interesting day out, and would be nice to share it with some more shiters. LabRat, Tam, mat_the_cat and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bub2006 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Sorry, not familiar with areas of Scotland. I only know Rhyl is north wales and Cardiff is south! And Wales is a lot closer than Scotland Tamworthbay and Dick Longbridge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucketeer Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 It's about time we had a 'fest in Scotland. The SVM and associates deserve a break and to see that the rest of us can travel stupid distances to sit in a wet field.

beko1987 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I keep expecting an SVMFest, will need time to save up and prepare my car so it would actually make it there and back though... +1 to wanting to start to get this organised now... What are the initial ideas then? 1 - Bubble car museum2 - Supernaut's parents field3 - Turn up at CMS's work and don't leave the car park4 - ? (I'm not organising it as my idea will be back at Chris's as that's very local to me!_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernaut Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I was mostly joking with regards to my parents' field... However, I'm sure I could find other places round here. Maybe hire Turriff showground on a quiet weekend. Or we could all just park on Aberdeen beach and watch our cars rust away before our very eyes.

DodgyBastard Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I enjoyed shitefest 2015 at Llangllen and Devil's Bridge. It seemed like a central point for most of us. As much as I'd like to host it up in Scotland it really is too far away for all of the southern softies to travel.

dollywobbler Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Devil's Bridge is out. I fear the hotel would no longer be quite so welcoming. No chance I can organise anything this year either. I've got a seriously hectic summer, so I'm truly hoping I don't miss out on attending this year. Would certainly drive to Scotland if it's on a free weekend. Llangollen was good, so if someone else (or Mat the Cat) wants to pick up the reins for that one, it could be good. mat_the_cat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I'd do Scotland if it was mooted, all us southerners could meet up en route and end up arriving together in one massive shite convoy! chodweaver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Llangollen would suit me. Its only downside was the lack of a hooning road but we could go for a drive on the Saturday. beko1987 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were fun, don't get me wrong but alot of shite fettling seemed to happen by the people who stayed behind, and that looked fun! Unless the drive is part of a multi site plan as SF15 was, in which case fair enough, I'm in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Breadvan72 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Surely Rhyl is the obvious* location, but presumably we don't know anyone who owns a wet field there. Junkman and Cavcraft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great venue, and the Austin Counties Car Club had their rally there in 2014, so they are obviously open to the idea. scruff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 If we have it at the bubble car museum I can come in the Renault 6. It made it there once so there's no* reason why it wouldn't make it again. Then you can spend the weekend admiring my black and silver number plates - I know how you love those.
