Guest Hooli Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 EDIT: Date for visit 3rd Nov, Starlight Spectacular https://www.tramway.co.uk/whatson/starlight-spectacular-2/ Seeing how popular the Trams thread is http://autoshite.com/topic/33005-trams/ lets see if we can get a group together for a visit to Crich Tramway Village in Derbyshire https://www.tramway.co.uk/ It's normally £17 to get in, but if we can manage a group of 10 it comes down to £10.50 & it appears pre-booked car clubs get in free with pre-1986 cars, depends if they class chod as classic I guess but we can ask.It closes for the year on 4th Nov so we need to do it in the six weeks or so, I've no idea on dates except I can't do 5th-7th Oct. Who's in? 1. Hooli - YES2. binhoker668 (maybe)3. MarvinsMom (maybe)4. bub2006 (pre 1986, I can't wait to hear their reaction to Roland) - YES5. Ghosty - YES6. catsinthewelder (tempted)7. Squire_Dawson (probably)8. dean36014 - YES9. AlabamaShrimp10. Wack - YES11. petermcpete (tempted)12. petermcpete's friend (tempted)13. 3VOM (probably)Gawd that green is awful!

Angrydicky Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 They wouldn't let me in last year with my '80 Vauxhall Royale, got banished to the public car park by the jobsworth 'duty inspector' as he didn't deem it a classic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The website does say ring & book the cars in advance, guess they know what they want in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrydicky Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 What difference would it make? It wasn't like they had 300 pre 60s cars queuing to get in on the day I went; there were no other classics whatsoever and it would have provided an added interest for the paying visitors, plus I would have loved to get some pictures of my car on the cobbles. As it was, his attitude was awful (though the lady on the gate was most sympathetic) and it really put me off going again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hooli Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 What difference would it make? No idea. I've never been, just commenting on what they say on the website. Maybe he'd get issued with a list of expected cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hooli Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 If anyone has a particular date they'd like please shout up, I've got one weekend I can't do but I'm not bothered apart from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catsinthewelder Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I'm really tempted but its a fair trek from here. Romanian plates onto the Dacia to claim it's an 85 model (and get kicked out by a Hubnut fan on the staff). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roverageous Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I'd come - but I'm already a ticket holder and they certainly wouldn't let a 75 in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squire_Dawson Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 If I can make it once dates are finalised, yes. Should be a good day out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reb Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 What if I doctor the M on the 205 into an A?I've always fancied going but the chances of me having a weekend off are so close to zero right now it can basically be considered a no.

AlabamaShrimp Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 OK put me as a probable. I assume the pre 1986 car thing is so you can get in free and drive in front of the shops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wack Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Looks good , depending on the date I'd like to come , nothing pre 86 to drive so I'll have to come in something Yellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wack (yellowness) Yup the pre-1986 thing gets you entry for free if they let the car in, it doesn't appear everything is accepted though. When we have a list of cars I'll ring them in advance to check. Any preferences on dates people? or shall I pick one & see who can make it?

Guest Hooli Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 How does the 3rd of Nov sound to everyone? it's the last night of their Starlight Spectacular https://www.tramway.co.uk/whatson/starlight-spectacular-2/ Model trams are running too for the model fanciers. I'm figuring it's just after pay day for most people which might help. binhoker668 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
