bub2006 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 If I could make the dates due to swapping my access to my lad I don't possess a tent either so I'd be sleeping in the van or car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M'coli Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Is there a rule somewhere that says we're only allowed one Shitefest...? cms206 and The Moog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruJoe Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I think I have a moldy orange canvas tent from the 1970's, which I wouldn't ever want to sleep in again.How about we each pitch the worst tent we could find in front of our cars, and sleep in the cars anyway? We'd get away with doing that, wouldn't we? BorniteIdentity and catsinthewelder 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreepingJesus Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I have a fucking massive dome tent. It's big enough to sleep 8, and campsite owners dislike it, because it and a Volvo equal two pitches. I know, you'd think they wouldn't, but...Anyway, as long as it's dry it would be fine. It's not so handy in the rain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbaldy Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Do you think they will mooch around at 2am shinning a torch into people's cars to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Breadvan72 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I think being a commercial campsite it might be more tightly controlled than previous event. So do I just knock this on the head as a non viable option and send Bub out to find a field by a pub?  Yes, the bubble car website is worryingly wanky and gives me TEH FEAR. CreepingJesus, beko1987, chaseracer and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mally Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 No car sleeping is standard in official camp sites. They might not allow commercial vehicles either.  Camping and Caravan Club allow sleeping in cars.They are pretty official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Do you think they will mooch around at 2am shinning a torch into people's cars to check.Dunno, but if they do and kick me off site, I'm too far away from home to not be a tad grumpy about it, and possibly too drunk to drive depending on what mood makes to drink...

chaseracer Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Bollocks to that, they sound weird. Â And not AS-weird, either. Â Field behind a pub or in the middle of nowhere is fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Unless we want to go back to Llangollen? That had everything you could want, with the exception of a hooning road. Nice and easy to get to too. cms206 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bub2006 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I enjoyed Wales. I'd love to find the narrow road up the steep hill with drops either side and the forest too. Was near that big bridge and castle where I fixed water leak with rubber glove. cms206 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beko1987 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 If we go back to llangollen I'm sticking to the main roads, taking a scenic back road fucked me over thanks to motorbike twats!

The Moog Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 OK so the feeling seems to be that the bubble car museum doesn't work for us. Is that a reasonable consensus? Â I will say thanks but no thanks to Paula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a reasonable consensus?  I will say thanks but no thanks to Paula.I think the lack of car camping has buggered it a bit tbh. I'll travel anywhere but if I can sleep in the car I drove there - even the 205 when I had it - it upsets my happiness a bit. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Tell Paula why she's lost a booking of probably 30 people, who would all have paid to go round the museum too. Maybe she will allow an exception. Â If not we can go dump a gooner or astra on her driveway alf892 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I forgot about Llangollen, I'd be up for that again, we could do with better toilets though. I've been having cheeky thoughts about buying a cheapy just to take to shitefest and ROFFLING it off afterwards to get my money back.

brownnova Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Surely someone could charm this bubble car lady into allowing car kipping... not that it would be practicable for me in the MX5....  If not Llangollen is more convenient for my attendance anyway! Once decisions are made I'll probably be in. Either date is doable for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpinerapier Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I doubt that sleeping in a car will be a problem at the Bubblecar museum. I sleep in the back of my 'white panel van' each time I attend a rally there. The owners are really easy going and I would have thought they would welcome Shitefest.
