Also, Bol, get your Bol-Bols and your Argenta up there. It'd be good te see you, and the giggles are enough to justify MAZZZER_POSTPONEMENT

Added my name and confirmed the car (Trois-Cent-Neuf).

EDIT: Good idea having a list, I'm hopeless matching names & faces (never mind cars ).

Cats, and anyone else who wants to join us for the last 10 miles from the south, we are staying Saturday night at:

Prees (Whitchurch) Bramblewood Caravan and Camping

Brown Moss

Whitchurch

SY13 4BU

01948 664863

...so we can meet up about 9am ish, then head the 10miles north to Chumley. Look for the old Fiat Hymer camper and Samara in tow. (Hopefully not, but you know what I mean.)

Cats, I pulled the Volvo seats out last night for your mate. I'd really like to meet you at the camp site then we can offload them into your BX. Will fit no problem, one of the fronts fold neatly into a cube! Then I'll have space in the car for four of us, my parents are coming too!

We chose the camp site to be your side of Chumley for a straight run

I'll pm you later to be sure to be sure.

Excelsior news, Joe as whilst you're at Prees (assuming yo have time) you can call in at Furber's salvage yard or even better (but slightly further afield) the absolute best scrappy in England:

*CHEEKY REQUEST*

Is anyone who lives near Huddersfield coming to Cholmondely, and if so could they collect something for me? It's about the size of a pram and folds down to fit into a saloon or hatchback (so I'm told!) and I don't mind lobbing a couple of quid or so towards your fuel cost if do-able.

Im near Huddersfield Billy, chuck me a PM with some details.

128,097 · May 11, 2012

Ta la, just pm'd you!

23,982 · May 11, 2012

And again!

2.4k · May 11, 2012

Another update. As mentioned previously I will be at the Sainsbury's Nantwich A530 rendezvous point on Sunday at 9am.

47,224 · May 11, 2012

I will too, defo coming on Sunday now, unless its totally pissing down which seems unlikely. Might even lob a bucket of dishwater over the Arg to smarten it up a bit and shift the roll of rockwool off the back seat.

23,197 · May 11, 2012

Its meant to be good weather tomorrow so am planning on plugging on with the Lancia. However I am just eating a pizza before going round to a mates house for some drinks.......

128,097 · May 11, 2012

GR11 news, BOL, llook forward to seeing you there!

4.8k · May 11, 2012

wahey, the lesser spotted Boll is coming out to play!

13,586 · May 11, 2012

^ Great news

And again!

KJ, I'll chuck you a PM

9,951 · May 11, 2012

Back atcha Rich!

This is gonna be flipping ace, what a line-up!

128,097 · May 11, 2012

If anyone definately cannot make it please let me know asap as someone on here is after a spare ticket. Obv. we'd have to hope it was someone who lives near another user so we could arrange collection though.

9,951 · May 12, 2012

Weather-wise it's looking pretty good for tomorrow, maybe some rain later in the evening.

What's it like underfoot around there Billy/other locals? Are the fields soft or is it firm enough at the mo?

(Planning footwear here.)

Also Billy, you'll shortly have a pm on another matter.

Does anyone have a bit of time today and access to a printer?

May I suggest we print off about 25 or so of the best quotes from the Quote Of The Year thread (that might make some sense if they stand alone), then we could tape one inside the window of each car. People are more likely to come and have a look if there's something they can read...

It'll be a good talking/laughing point, anyhoo.

I'll just leave that here, I've to get off to work, then a mad scramble to be on our way south...

128,097 · May 12, 2012

Way ahead of you there Joe

Has been lobbing it down here on/off for about three days and weather changing by the hour. Would think the ground is pretty soft to be honest.

4.8k · May 12, 2012

supposed to be the best day of the weekend today according to the Ã‚Â£180 million a year met office. Just got up to still see loads of thick black cloud around and had a light shower of rain already..

1.3k · May 12, 2012

Bugger it, we've not had a bad year yet so Im still hopeful.

23,197 · May 12, 2012

Fuck a duck. I thought it was the 31st. Dyslexia rules K.O. Had not even checked the ticket.

Right. Not decided what I am arriving in yet, I will surprise you but without a doubt it wont be the Lancia as it still needs the subframe welding, an interior, insurance, tax and an MOT.

Can we bring Dags? Might not have an actual lead but will have some string for added pikeyness.

5,968 · May 12, 2012

Got my ticket sometime in the week!

Dogs are allowed, I took mine a couple of years ago, who also brought her bowl for water (if it gets hot).

9,951 · May 12, 2012

Thanks Billy, That's cool.

Rather than clogging up your pm box with my guff, I'll post here.

As of later this afternoon, I'll be offline, (we'll be on our way, sans interwebz) so if there's owt urgent I need to know, give us a buzz or summert. Ta.

Updated.

Don't forget your camera, spare batteries and SD cards guys!

A semi-serious question, this Lada is really tatty, is there any chance I'll be turned away in it?

I bloody hope not, I've put more effort into preparing for this than I did for my wedding day!

128,097 · May 12, 2012

If you get turned away expect anarchy, and also it's reminded me of something: one old bloke on the gate is as miserable as shit so if he comes all arsey with anyone just politely put him down a bit and then ignore him.

I cannot see for one minute you getting knocked back in a car because it looked crap, it's not just the spit and polish brigade who turn up and I like to see us as the antidote to them anyhow.

I'm afraid it's going to absolutely piss down later today or tomorrow, I know this for FACT because I've just cleaned my car. I might bring our dog but he's an antsy little sod so probably best of leaving him at home to annoy the missus instead.

9,951 · May 12, 2012

It's gonna be fiiiiiiine.....

Right, we're off!

See y'all there!

5,030 · May 12, 2012

Well, we've made it, a bit of an epic journey as half an hour out I realised I had left my wallet at home so we had to turn back - but not immediately cos we were on the M20. We will be trying the nightlife of Nantwich shortly.

Retrogeezer: we'll be at Sainsbury about 9 to 9.15 in the morning after full English breakfast. See you there. I expect there won't be another car like ours in the vicinity so we should be easy to spot.

I am really, really rather irritated I can't go to this event. I even considered driving down tonight and chancing my arm at the gate but alas my plan has been foiled... grrr.
