Event Midlands Massive convoy to Shitefest (all commers welcome)

[Sloth in a bowl]

As I finally got round to bodging the Kia back to life then I thought that I should use it for Shitefest.

This is my plan for Friday 5th June and getting to Shitefest, would be good to have a convoy of shite.

Start point is good for anybody from the midlands and south or east of.

All Commers welcome?  Are you intending to combine Shitefest with some sort of Rootes-based commercial-vehicle display?

mmmm chuffa chuffa

I'm hoping that they are running the big 2-8-0, they make a quality noise.

[barefoot]

Fifteen pounds?

On a poxy train ride?

 

That's my budget for the entire weekend.

[chaseracer]

I like the sound of this.  I have a meeting in the morning but only in Lichfield, so if I miss you at Greasy Lil's I'll catch you up on the road!

[OwdChina]

All those with an A frame remember to take it with them..........just in case.

[bub2006]

I'm interested if I manage to sort a car on by then. I'm coming from near derby so I don't think it's too far away without checking map

[bub2006]

Just checked and yes that will do for me! Probably won't do train raid though.

[Inspector Morose]

I take it you don't need a lift now Sloth IAB?!

 

Colour me there. In the BX. If it was the rover I'd have had to set off yesterday.

If you are without a car and can get to Birmingham New Street station for about 11:30 then a lift will be available.

The Kia is alive so I intend to use it, but if it sells at shitefest then I may need a lift home (and possibly bub2006)

[Junkman]

Probably won't do train raid though.

 

Raiding trains went a bit out of fashion after 1963.

[bub2006]

Train ride even. Thanks for offer too sloth

[Six-cylinder]

Steam train ride, what a good idea I will be there but think I will have to meet you all in Langollen .

 

The other group I drive Wales with think wanting to ride steam trains puts you in a category labeled “Nerds and train spotters†and won’t let me play with the trains when I am with them. 

[bub2006]

I'll definitely be meeting. Wife has told me I have to go. I'll be the fat guy in a green xsara

[catsinthewelder]

I'll try and meet you up at the railway,  there's some nice roads between here and Llangollen.

[Inspector Morose]

I might not be able to make breakfast. I might need a head start. See you on the road.

[dollywobbler]

I think I'll aim for a train ride too. I can spend the money I save by not drinking alcohol. Man maths rules ok.

Spare seat for you in my car sloth if you need a ride home.

[bub2006]

Sorry folks but won't be meeting to travel in convoy I don't think. Have an errand to run,mate asked for a lift from Ripley to Stockport so will drop him off then come in from the top side.

You penance will be to join us at Cannock Auctions one Saturday and eat a Deathburger. See you at Shitefest.

Will the Midlands convoy be heading straight to the train station or museum first? I'll be at the museum to deploy chateau wobbler.

Probably just go to the station first. That seems to be nearer the center of town for those that what to find food, cup of tea, etc.

[dollywobbler]

Ok. I've got Chaseracer's mobile, so I'll try and hook up with you about half two.

[Sloth in a bowl]

If all else fails, you can find me at 3 taking pictures of the engine.

[dollywobbler]

I'm just slightly concerned that I've forgotten what everyone looks like. (this applies to the entire event, not just the Midlands bit). At least I'm quite easy to spot...

[twosmoke300]

You penance will be to join us at Cannock Auctions one Saturday and actually buy a car . See you at Shitefest.

Maybe make the next meet a challenge of buying something at Cannock then having to drive straight to a meet somewhere,with only safety checks being carried out............
