quicksilver Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 3 weeks to go and I'm still not sure how I'm going to play this and whether to go on the railway visit or stay in the field of dreams and look at shite. I hope there will be plenty of opportunity for shite viewing before/after the railway. Do we have any timescales for the weekend yet?
Six-cylinder Posted June 3, 2016 Author Posted June 3, 2016 3 weeks to go and I'm still not sure how I'm going to play this and whether to go on the railway visit or stay in the field of dreams and look at shite. I hope there will be plenty of opportunity for shite viewing before/after the railway. Do we have any timescales for the weekend yet? Shitefest 2016 is Friday Saturday Sunday 24-25-26 June. Arrive when you like, leave when you like. I have no problem with people camping in the field before or after just let me know. We are booked to arrive at the railway at around 11.30 am on Saturday, It will take about 1 hour to get there so leave 10.30am. The railway closes at 6pm but you can leave when you are ready or tour the long way back. I do need numbers for the Railway soon. What else do you want to know?
bub2006 Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Mr six cylinder do you have an outside tap I can fill water up for van please? If not its not an issue. Thank you

What else do you want to know?Sounds pretty good to me, I'm only a couple of miles away so getting there isn't a problem. Will probably roll up with dad in tow sometime Friday afternoon, then go home whenever and get him to drop me back at the field Saturday morning for the railway visit and cadge a lift with one of you kind people.

Six-cylinder Posted June 3, 2016 Author Posted June 3, 2016 Mr six cylinder do you have an outside tap I can fill water up for van please? If not its not an issue. Thank you There is mains water on site but not near the camp-site so you will need a container to collect it.
bub2006 Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 That's great. I've got a 25 litre water bottle. Thanks
quicksilver Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Here's something else that could be done on Shitefest Saturday by those not going to the railway. The Tingewick Classic Motor Show, only 3 miles from Buckingham: http://www.classicshowsuk.co.uk/classic-car-show-event-information/classic-car-show-by-county.asp?id=894
Richard Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 I think I still have one of those rolling water containers if you want it.
beko1987 Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 If we can lift it in and out the car ill give someone a hand for you bub, you prob can't lift it with your arm can you?
bub2006 Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 Richard that would be great thank you. I've got a couple of containers and a trolley but trolley is an old shopping thing so very flimsy! DeeJay 1
For Fiats Sake Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 I'll be about all weekend, got my work rotas with plenty of time off! I'm hoping to pick up towbar for the Maestro tomorrow, not that I have anything to tow yet....
bub2006 Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 We could move bubs Van whilst he's asleep...Oi Samuel. We will have bloody less thank you.
rantingYoof Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 I have just spent 20 minutes looking through sub £150 shitters on Autotrader, trying to justify buying one, running it to Shitefest for the LAWLz, giving it a good clean/polish and then trying to sell on for a profit. Kind of like a mini Top Gear challenge. What has this place done to me? There's a £100 Fiesta 1.8d for sale at a garage very close to my place of work. It's MOT runs out in 9 days and the advisories last year were frightening. It's done 234k. It's Autoshite perfection. But as I cannot weild a spanner I'm going to have to be careful if I actually do this....going to have to find something that has at least a month's ticket.
Bucketeer Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 . . . . and then trying to sell on for a profit.Is that an actual real life thing? I always thought a profit was something mythical that didn't exist like a unicorn or a helicopter. I like this idea, a picture a day but it has to have the exactly right model number for the countdown. Thank you Renault, but are there others, we will see day by day! Six-cylinder 1

Bucketeer Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 It's the ex-Howard Hughes and currently Jay Leno's Doble E-20 steam car.
Six-cylinder Posted June 4, 2016 Author Posted June 4, 2016 It's the ex-Howard Hughes and currently Jay Leno's Doble E-20 steam car. Not just a 20 then, this is what I was expecting.
Six-cylinder Posted June 5, 2016 Author Posted June 5, 2016 Image0295.jpg Close but that's a 19RD, what I was expecting with this.
Richard Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Is it too early to start counting down for SF26? bub2006 and Bucketeer 2

254575 Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 any football types going? I can bring down my camping satellite rig if anyone fancies watching the euros?
dollywobbler Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 any football types going? I can bring down my camping satellite rig if anyone fancies watching the euros? Sorry, I'm entirely the opposite. It'll be nice to escape it! catsinthewelder, KruJoe and beko1987 3
hairnet Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Interested but highlights and coupla days away from it ftw
mat_the_cat Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 I tend to watch it if it's on, but don't make any special efforts to do so. TV tends to be a conversation killer IMO, so I probably wouldn't be hugely keen on watching it at SF although wouldn't complain if others chose to.
