[hairnet]

jeez i wouldnt be down that fair south

 

thomastown and callan and across to cashel

 

boreens

 

[John F]

Haha, I doubt you'd be seeing 160 mph along there

 

BTW Cashel's just a bit further east from Tip...

[hairnet]

naah no idea where that is

 

 

[John F]

Haha! Yeah OK, you probably know where Tip is 

[M'coli]

Looked further into the rally plates/plaques thing today, most places seem to have a minimum 10-14 working days lead time for their production so it would seem we've missed the chance this time. 

[John F]

Ah well, we'll know for next year

[M'coli]

Update! JAF Graphics in Cheshire can do them at £17.99 a piece, with a turn around of 2-3 days...they also do beige backgrounds with chocolate brown lettering.

What slogan do we fancy?

 

"Yorkshire Dales 13-15 September

SHITEFEST 2013

Your motoring is our concern"

[John F]

Yep, that sounds good to me! But I'd prefer white lettering, it'll stand out better.

 

What's the deal with the numbers ('8' in the examples shown on the website)? Are they just randomly allocated, or all the same?

 

Put me down for one, please

[skattrd]

Has anyone checked to see if ruffgeezer can do those sort of plaques?

He does the standard autoshite vinyl stickers, but I don't know what else he car do.

[dollywobbler]

I must admit, the idea of paying £18 for a plaque is not at all appealing. I'm not really a plaque collector at the best of times though.

[John F]

Meh. It would only work if we all had them, really.

 

And yes, 18 squids is a bit steep I suppose.

[KruJoe]

I'm with Wobla on this one I'm afraid guys.

[dollywobbler]

Sorry M'Coli!

[KruJoe]

Cameron if you've nowt better to do, you could knock up a few from bits of old cardboard or ice cream tub sides, using a craft knife and marker pen. I can find some old bits of wire or summert to attach them with.

[John F]

Hairy yellow string FTW

[M'coli]

Naw, that's fine by me - £18 is too steep here as well!

[hairnet]

id bite yer hand off for a sticker 18 quid is a tank of juice here

[davidfowler2000]

......If the field is open I may well show on Friday night, not sure what Dave is doing...

 

 

Looks like I'm working 'till 9PM on Friday so it'll be a Saturday arrival for me.

[Ghosty]

Where are you, 1993?!

[KruJoe]

[skattrd]

Thats kwality Joe.

The locals are going to wonder what the hell is going on.

[Captain Slow]

When do we have to confirm attendance by? Or can we just turn up on the weekend spur of the moment? I'm tempted...

[dollywobbler]

Only tempted?! 

 

That's great Joe. Nice work!

[KruJoe]

Ta guys!

I don't want to be firing out loads of questions on the thread, we'd end up with a right old bloody mess. So I'll have a word with John again in the next couple days, and fire out a PM to all who've expressed interest, with a few concise questions for folks to answer; I'll then post a more detailed rundown of what's occurring when I have replies from that.

[Cavcraft]

This looks like a mega old laugh, can't wait to see the pictures and hope the rest of us are getting live updates?

[vulgalour]

I might be ducking out of this, but I have a good reason!  I might be putting all available pocket money into acquiring another Princess instead.  I reckon that's a better excuse than anything anyone else can come up with.

I think Joe said phone signal is minimal... which means it'll either go Hangover or Battle Royale. I'm not entirely sure which would be worse to be honest.

 

WOT APENS IN MALLUM STAYS IN MALLUM

[KruJoe]

We've heard that one before, haven't we John?!

 

 

 

Phone signal:

As John said, O2 is ok on the field. At home, we have the Orange mast, so that's fine too. Other providers are patchy at best. Can you guys tooled up with Igadgets see/update Autoshite via a normal phone signal? Or do you need some newfangled magic waves?

I think John said wifi may be had at the pub also.

[Captain Slow]

Only tempted?! 

 

That's great Joe. Nice work!

 

Only tempted. I hate camping and I don't like offroading much. TO have me tempted at all is a miracle!

[hairnet]

joseph = what will you do if trainee shiteist comes along before we get there and haz the tailgate away
