Shitefest 2017... is it happening?

[chaseracer]

...to avoid embarrassing you lot?

 

Imagine, if you can, the infinite enormity of such an impossibility... 

[Sloth in a bowl]

Sorry if this is pants but typing it on the phone.

 

For an easy low organisation Shitefest then may I suggest turning up at York Raceway on the 1st/2nd July. 2 days of camping and drag racing for £35 with an extra £30 run what you bring option.

 

No issues with a load of men and cars turning up. Plenty to see and nice roads for a local cruise.

[dollywobbler]

Sounds interesting, but I'm already busy that weekend sadly. I'd also worry we'd dilute ourselves at a bigger event. 

 

All this needs is someone to find a field, preferably behind a pub (so food, toilets etc) though we've coped without those options before now (in which case, portaloo hire is needed).

That is true but when we went for the inaugural club GLF we got 4 runs for our £30- not great.

 

As a venue though it has merit:)

[chaseracer]

Is there camping at Crail...?

[bub2006]

Anyone interested in Derbyshire? I can go enquire at a pub I know used to allow the c90 club camping in matlock. Railways, good roads and I can look more into other things too.

Have I just inadvertently offered to sort this? If so.....oops!

Plus bonus torrential rain, hail, a blizzard, sudden cold snap, etc.

I'm in!

[bub2006]

If there deems to be enough interest I'll look into it further and maybe arrange something to suit.

[beko1987]

Nice one Daz, derby shite fest it is!

[dollywobbler]

Nice and central. Ignoring the north of Scotland perhaps...

[BorniteIdentity]

Derbyshire is lovely - and could tie in with a little family rendezvous.  

 

Can we get drunk and attempt to ride the "attractions" at Matlock.

 

 

 

(The fairground, not the local talent)

[Six-cylinder]

Almost gridlock traffic in Derbyshire on a June weekend, but I am in!

[oldcars]

Can't folk just turn up an Cannock auctions with tents and stuff?

[bub2006]

Well on that note then Derbyshire it is. I'll start looking into accommodation. What dates?

Damn.....

Was getting excited then. Cable cars and caves aplenty, two Railways in stones throw and a mining museum.

[Supernaut]

As long as it's north of Buckinghamshire, I'm game.

 

I'll be out of the country the last week of July, but otherwise free as far as I know.

I think I'm the only active forum member in the north, if you dismiss Aberdeen as too far south (I do)

[beko1987]

Yea but anywhere is far from northern scotland isn't it? apart from perhaps southern scotland...

[Supernaut]

Nope. Southern Scotland is still pretty fucking far from northern Scotland.

 

Everywhere is far in Scotland, as we don't have any motorways north of Perth!

You say that, but everyone else will be regaling each other with heroic stories of duct-taped suspension components, substitution of pistons for old bits of wood, and generally getting moist at the sight of a rusty Vauxhall Calibra (8v for added dullness) with non-functioning lights, all the while arguing over whose car is the biggest disaster, and I'll be there with my modern daily trying to hide at the back. 

 

I suppose I could turn up in the Honda Jazz as a sort of half-arsed attempt at fitting in.

[bub2006]

I'll be in either a y plate c15 or a 04 plate c2 so don't worry. More than likely the c2 as the van will be getting fixed in warmer months.

Borrow one of my heaps.

Now there's a thought! 

[dave21478]

Anyone who can be fucked driving all the way down here is welcome to stay - space for tents.... I will let you use my toilet if you promise not to leave skidmarks and the weather is usually ok.

Nowt to do, mind. Its at least an hours drive to anything interesting, and nothing really car related at all without several hours drive.

Take part in Shitefest shit heap challenge.

 

Participants all put in a defined amount - say £5. A number is drawn at random and then that lucky winner takes all the cash and buys the most interesting car before close of play Saturday

 

 

Facebooked bubble car place. But would prefer Bub to sort it out

[beko1987]

I'd be well up for that! Then anyone who turns up together in one car is first in like to take it home.

 

Or I have bubs address, we can leave it on his drive before we do one

I still like the idea of a visit to the bubble car place, maybe a smaller gathering could just go there on a separate date?
