Interests

  1. While I’m feeling sociable and non stressed. Does anyone fancy meeting up at Staplefield on the 3rd November to watch the veteran car rally? The pub does a good bbq breakfast.
  2. I'm going to be in Lewes on Monday night and have tentatively agreed to meet @SierraMikeHotel. Tentative because I'll be with Mrs/baby Egg, so they will hold a veto. Tesco's car park seems to be a goer. Anyone else around?
  3. Anyone else going? UKSaabs is having a show there again this year, so do stop by and say hello. One of the advantages of having a stand is you get a code so your club members can get a discount on admission prices on the Saturday and Sunday. Not a huge amount of saving but anything is welcome. They insist that only members can get the discount code, but as you lot are all* members of UKSaabs if you want the code, drop me a PM and it will come back by return.
  4. Last Citroen show of the year a great for all those interested in Citroens.
  5. I have mentioned this to a few shiters over the year and there seems to be some interest so I thought I would make it happen. It also gets the date into the AS Calendar before anything else gets organised for the same weekend. The location is half way between Lemans and Tours in Sarthe, Pays de Loire, France, approx 300 miles and 5 hours from Calais, or 120 miles and 2.5 hours from Caen. The date of 3-5 July is the Lemans Classic weekend, where there are great cars on track (where else will you see pre-war Bentleys power sliding and GT40s with glowing brake discs at night) and the car park is probably the biggest and best classic car show in Europe. The AS site is about 25 mins drive from the circuit, with easy access. The format is basically whatever you want it to be. The AS base will be at my place in France that a few shiters have visited. I am afraid the bedrooms are already booked, but there is 6 acres of level camping ground, We will be travelling down from West Sussex via the tunnel and a combination of peage and back roads in a convoy of classics. You are welcome to join the convoy at any point or meet at the venue. We will travel down probably Thursday 2nd and most will return Monday 6th, but some will stay on for a week or two and you are welcome to stay on if you wish. The nearest bar is about 1km away, but 3km away is the famous "Hotel de France" in La Chatre sur le Loir (google it). You do not have to attend the Lemans Classic, if you would rather sit and drink beer (hopefully in the sun) that is fine. It will be up to the individuals to organise ferry/tunnel etc and getting there, I can provide camping ground, bogs, showers and a fridge for the beer. No commitment required especially at this stage, If you fancy a foreign trip with your chod, put your name down on the list. Nearer the time those still interested will get further details and the hidden location by PM. If anyone would prefer a B&B obviously they are in high demand around the classic, but I have a few contacts and could possibly find a room or two, but they would need to be booked fairly soon. No booking for camping is required. To give you an idea, whilst nothing is yet confirmed, the convoy down is likely to include a Gordon Keeble, a Rolls Royce 20/25, a Westfield, a Mk2 Jag and a Fiesta 1100. It will not be a fast convoy...... Oooh La La, I'll help destroy the French wine lake 1. Saabnut 2. Inspector Morose 3. Northern Monkey 4. Monsieur Le Hairnet 5. Bangernomics 6. Chodweaver 7.
  6. Its been a while since we last had a meetup of southern shiters, and I wondered if anyone was interested in a late summer gathering? A little while back I was over at Littlehampton, on the way I spotted a potential meetup point: https://www.brewhouseproject.co.uk/ Its a barn on the Worthing side of Arundel which is a coffee roast house and brewery, and do food too. Just off the A27, by that weird junction where it seems like two different sets of civil engineers approached the same spot from opposite directions, with wildly different ideas about what the road layout was going to be like and made a rather hasty compromise? There appears to be a decent sized car park too? Maybe one saturday or sunday in September, but not the 28th and 29th? Any takers?
  7. Any shiters going to the Beaulieu International Autojumble this year? Always an interesting day out even if its mainly overpriced Austin 7 parts. I have generally found that although pickings are slim for 70's/80's/90's shite, that if you do find it it is normally a bargain as it's just shite to the seller and "not for a real classic". The paddock is always a laugh to see how much someone rekkons they can get for a well polished MG Midget made entirely of Bog, and the Bonhams tent is just funny to see how the upper 3% live. What are other peoples experiences? I'll be going on the Sunday from Oxford, would be good to meet up with other shiters at the Ale tent
  8. As above: days, venues, etc. - all suggestions welcome. Three Spires Retros? (sorry, Trig...)
  9. Anyone going? https://www.britishmotormuseum.co.uk/events/the-bmc-and-leyland-show Might go with the FiL and the MGB.
  10. It's been a busy few weekends of shows with the Maxi. Saturday was a small local village fete, beer festival and classic car show with a surprisingly high turnout of probably about 100 cars, many of which I hadn't seen before.

  11. So for the first time in over 18 months because of reasons I made it to one of the Wednesday evening gatherings at Earls Barton. Lots of cars there but I do think they need to either rename this event and remove 'classic' or be more selective about what they let in as it was only about 50% classics and the rest were moderns. Loads of Binis, modern Beemers and Audis, Japanese performance motors, slammed VWs and the latest supercars, so I walked straight past a lot of dross to find the occasional gem. In front of the Maxi was a brand new 19-reg Mazda 3 - what the heck was that doing at a show? Anyway, pics of some of the good stuff...

  12. Quick poll to see who is available when. Happy to update the polls with any suggestions!
  13. It's been a busy weekend for the Maxi with local shows both yesterday and today. Yesterday we decided to take a look at this free event in the village of Yardley Gobion (between Milton Keynes and Northampton) that we'd never been to before. A great turnout of cars to suit every taste but it was bloody hot! Like Mrs6C's tractor of win, but yellow 1958 Massey Ferguson 35 tractor by Adam Floyd, on Flickr Car park chod. Amazing how small it looked next to bloated moderns. 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee 2.5TD Laredo by Adam Floyd, on Flickr The Cavalier & Chevette Club had a stand.

  14. So to the second of the weekend's shows. Stony Stratford is only 5 miles from Yardley Gobion so a lot of the same cars turned up but there was still plenty else to see, if not quite as manically busy as the New Year's Day event in the same place. Zel has already covered this event in his thread so I'll try to avoid duplicating his photos. One of the few Citroens that weren't in Coventry 1989 Citroen BX 19DTR by Adam Floyd, on Flickr Big septic blimp 1991 Chevrolet Caprice by Adam Floyd, on Flickr BIGHORN! 1993 Isuzu Bighorn 3.1TD by Adam Floyd, on Flickr A good way to recycle rotten Alfasuds 1979 Minari Roadsport by Adam Floyd, on Flickr Maybe a good thing DW didn't convert the Fox - an electric Reliant has already been done 1976 Reliant Kitten 'Electrikitty' by Adam Floyd, on Flickr Gorgeous Avenger seeking shade 1974 Hillman Avenger 1600 Super estate by Adam Floyd, on Flickr Hustlers are mad 1971 Hustler 4 by Adam Floyd, on Flickr Something to get the Dubbers all excited - an African widebody Type 2 1956 Volkswagen Type 2 extra-wide pickup by Adam Floyd, on Flickr Tidy Tina 1975 Ford Cortina 1600 L by Adam Floyd, on Flickr Not a VX4/90 1973 Vauxhall Victor 1800 by Adam Floyd, on Flickr Where did all the Primeras go? 1999 Nissan Primera 2.0i GT by Adam Floyd, on Flickr Fat lip 1974 Triumph Toledo V8 by Adam Floyd, on Flickr Not an Orion but an Escort saloon 1996 Ford Escort 1.8i Ghia X by Adam Floyd, on Flickr I'd forgotten the Mk3 stayed in production as the Fiesta Classic after the Mk4 appeared 1996 Ford Fiesta Classic 1.1 Quartz by Adam Floyd, on Flickr Cute little Goggo 1968 Goggomobil T250 by Adam Floyd, on Flickr Mmm, Monaco [ url=https://flic.kr/p/2g9gFzf]1989 Renault 5 1.4 Monaco[/url] by Adam Floyd, on Flickr The polar opposite of shite but just so classy 1929 Rolls-Royce Phantom II by Adam Floyd, on Flickr The modern equivalent of that Roller 2013 Range Rover Vogue SE landaulet by Adam Floyd, on Flickr Autoshite camping holidays 1969 Bedford HA Roma by Adam Floyd, on Flickr Second Shoveit HS of the weekend 1978 Vauxhall Chevette 2300 HS by Adam Floyd, on Flickr Mildly pineappled Scrote 1990 Ford Escort 1.4 L estate by Adam Floyd, on Flickr And of course, the star of the show 1973 AC Model 70 by Adam Floyd, on Flickr
  15. As per the title really... Who from the beige is off to the Citroen Centenary this weekend? Myself, the good lady and of course Daisy-Vera shall be in attendance Friday/Saturday/Sunday. See you there??? All Citroen owners welcome, club members or not!
  16. Just a heads up that this show is taking place on Friday 5th July. It starts in the afternoon and ends when it starts to get dark, there is an entry form on the website http://fleurdelyscvs.org/ or just send me a pm and I can e-mail you a pdf copy
  17. The annual Chumley meet up is but a mere 2 1/2 months away... Last years line up... Chumley always brings highlights like the year we pushed Huggy into the ring! And happy shiters from the many corners of the UK congregating for fun and chod related chatting! Anywho, reminiscing over... The facts are as follows: The festival of 1000 classic cars at Chlomondoley castle in Cheshire Sunday September 1st. The Autoshambles club will once again be represented. Tickets bought as part of the ‘club’ display are £4.50. I am happy to sort out tickets again this year. Linky to the website: http://www.classicshows.org/festival-1000-classic-cars-sun-1-september-2019/ And linky back to last years thread: So... Who’s in? 1. Brownnova
  18. This years NEC Classic Motor show November 8-10 is almost with us. Who is going? Myself and No1 son are looking at going Saturday 9th, I haven't been for about 9 years.
  19. Thought we'd try and get a Sunday afternoon meet in before the clocks go back. Usual Cafe on the A249 northbound. I think it has changed it's name again when I went past this week, so no website link for now (was Mickey's Rock Café and then Bangers Diner). Note your interest here.
  20. It's not exactly Autoshite, but an event celebrating cars and popular culture from the 80s and 90s should come close enough! Radwood has been a thing in the states for a year or two now, I've been following it since pretty much the beginning and am quite excited that the first event outside the US is happening here. The premise is pretty simple, bring along your car built from 1980-1999, optionally you can show up in your period correct rad outfit (whatever that might mean to you). Ticket prices are quite affordable, 20 quid if you want to show up in your car (incl. a passenger) or 10 quid without the car. I'm currently trying to find out if anyone would like to join. I have the feeling that space for cars might be quite limited, with the show happening in about 4 weeks I'd rather book the tickets earlier than later. You can find more info in the link below, if you are interest it would be good to see people post here. https://www.radwood.co/ https://www.eventbrite.com/e/radwood-uk-tickets-63797366641 To give you a little idea what previous events looked like:
  21. New venue just announced for FOTU 2019 - Saturday 20 July, 10am to 4pm at Claydon House, MK18 2EX (same general area as Stowe). Would make a nice 6-mile jaunt through the north Bucks countryside from the Field of Dreams. Concours applications open in January and general spectator/classic tickets will be available in March. Entry criteria has been widended too and it now says it's open to "unexceptional classics from 1966 to 1996".

    Since this year is almost over, it's time to make plans for next year. A sizeable AS delegation attended the inaugural event in 2016. Expected to be some half arsed giffer show, to everyone's surprise it turned out to be a superb spectacle with lots of noise, fumes and yes, speed. A return visit to the 2017 event proved to be not less satisfying. For this year, the event was not held in the town of Bromyard, it was integrated with the Shelsley Walsh hill climb, so we skipped it. But next year it'll return to Bromyard and thus we all should go again. https://bromyardspeedfestival.co.uk/ Attending are: 01 Junkman 02 Conrad D. Conelrad
  23. As mentioned on the thread for Northern Powerhouse Classic, I can't make it on Tuesdays anymore. I'm sure the now longstanding tradition of eating a slab o'cow at Glossop spoons will continue regardless, but would anyone be up for a more Northerner version? Proposal: 2nd or 3rd Wednesday of the month, so as not to clash with NP Classic. Place: The White House Pub & Restaurant, Littleborough, OL15 0LG: https://thewhitehousepub.co.uk/ https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/The+White+House/@53.6573352,-2.0493041,16z/ Motorway access isn't great but who wants to drive on motorways? Has big car park and beer and food. First meeting on Wednesday 13th Feb? 7ish PM? Any takers?
  24. Hallo peeps. Discussions have been discussed and we have decided there will be a Cannock meet on Saturday 23rd March featuring Scotoshite and The Midlands Massiv. Usual format to ensue. Meet Friday evening for a dinner, stay the night, 0900 at The Trucker's Rest for breakfast then round to the auctions for the auction game. Afternoon activity up for discussion as usual. Interest? EDIT! Normal format to ensue. Date now Sat 7th September 2019 for the main event. Scotland will stay over at Premier Inn Cannock South on Friday 6th. See here -
  25. I have spoken to Lesley Cook who looks after the Hammond Microcar collection in Kent (TN12 postcode - between Headcorn and Staplehurst). The original owners founded the RUMcar register/forum. I have confirmed that up to 20 cars from us (quirkier the better she says!) will turn up on 12th May 1pm for a tour. The 20 car limit is due to only so much hard standing. Apparently there is a pub down the road for drink/food afterwards. This is a private collection, so we can only attend at this time and date unless you make your own separate arrangements. The charge is £3 a head, which I think is very fair. I will happily play banker (yes, banker) on the day. The limit is 20 cars, but up to 30-40 people. So please put your username below (and any other forum members who will be in the car with you). https://www.hammondmicrocars.com/ 1. egg 2. GrumpiusMaximus + better half 3. SierraMikeHotel 4.
