Shitefest 2017... is it happening?

[bub2006]

In all honesty I will try my best to arrange a Derbyshire shitefest if that's what folk want to do. Any other plans greatly welcomed though.

[beko1987]

This sounds a good idea. Beko I know where you live too remember..... And I work at argos

No one posts me heavy stuff, so when the card hits the mat I can ignore it!

 

Well, I might get one just to look at the vacs

Saturday afternoon - 3PM.  Everyone's at home either listening to BBC 5live or watching that dreadful bloke from Countdown on Sky Sports News.

 

First team to score anywhere in the football league - THAT'S where we're going.

 

Arrive by 7pm for dogging in a public car park.

[dollywobbler]

I beg to differ with your 'everyone.'

[beko1987]

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?

The only issue I can see with that is if their not going to respond to inquiries until June or something, that sounds like it will be too late for some people to book holiday. At least if we say An Field in Derbyshire people can book a date and we just make that work.

 

I'm fairly easy as I'm a wimpy office boy so have less strict rules and will only need a few weeks notice, although will book it asap just to be sure.

I think he meant for the purposes of his venue selection strategy, in the same way that everybody* tunes in to the lottery results when there's a roffle on.

[BorniteIdentity]

It wasn't a fact, it was an instruction.

[beko1987]

I don't do football, happy for it to be tried though (I think, no games in the shetland isles are there?

If we did English Football League - then no.

 

2 nights in Sunderland has this, all of a sudden, feeling like a dreadful idea.

[Richard]

shetland isles

 

Now you're talking, I'd be up for that.

[Supernaut]

Now you're talking, I'd be up for that.

 

Me too, I'd have probably the easiest journey there. Drive 2 miles, get on ferry. Piss about for 12 hours. Arrive in Shetland.

 

Admittedly, it would be far more fun to drive to Thurso and get the ferry from there.

[Ghosty]

Matlock's a nice idea.

Distance no object for me really.

[Tamworthbay]

Get in there Bub! Top man.

[hairnet]

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.

you are AnthonyG and youve bought a new car??

Maybe just a day visit then?

[barefoot]

I've tried to do stuff with the bubble car museum before, they simply don't respond to email.

The only way to get any sense seems to be ring em, 'There's forty of us, we'll be there in ten minutes'.

[DVee8]

Whats wrong with us in Sunderland like?????

Its ok Sunderland couldn't hit a cow's arse with a shovel.

Football?  I'm oot.

 

Derby might be on as a day-visit, after all it's where Huggy came from so he should make it there and back   Just done Portsmouth and back though, that kind of fuel expense is going to take some getting-over.

[bub2006]

Curious now but what's the Mpg like?

[wuvvum]

if we say An Field in Derbyshire

I thought An Field was in Liver Pool.

 

 

Ah, there's my coat.

[Junkman]

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)

 

Is there anything wrong with the local talent?

[beko1987]

Have you seen bub?

[ruffgeezer]

They aren't far from me so I could doorstep them if wanted.

The Moog is now trying but after my no reply I think this would be a good idea. We need to know what is on offer and when so we can plan our diaries ahead.

[bub2006]

Have you seen bub?

I'm one of the lookers

[captain_70s]

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

I'm north of Aberdeen and will continue to be until April!

 

I've put off Englandshire based car meets for years on the basis I can never afford the fuel to drive to them although I will hopefully be moving to Glasgow in the next 6 weeks with a shagged Triumph as my sole form of transport. Given that me driving from here to Glasgow is the same distance as driving from Glasgow to Leeds I should actually be able to manage Derby once I move! Assuming at the time I have money (probably won't), free time (probably won't) and a working car (probably won't).

[Lacquer Peel]

Cullen is too far south

[Six-cylinder]

I think we should start thinking about dates so when bub is enquiring about sites for us he knows when we are planning. We can always have a rethink if we are offered a great site but they can't do our preferred date.

 

June is a very busy month for shows so the sooner it goes in everyone's diary the better.

 

I already have events pencilled in for every weekend in June but at the moment I am only committed to one 10/11 June.

[dollywobbler]

I can't do first weekend in June - Coventry Motofest.

Go the east coast - West Lothian route to Glasgow, you'll be fine. Plenty of shiters en route.

Aberdeen, Dundee, over the bridge to Fife, over the bridge to Edinboghorrorish, Bathgate, Airdrie, home run. Smashing.
