Event Shitefest 2018 (U.K.) Chez Saabnut 9-10th june

[Guest Hooli]

See you all friday then, we should be there by mid evening as taking the scenic route across Scotland.

[Saabnut]

 Glasgow tomorrow.

 

Shitefest camping available from tomorrow if required

[RobT]

I'm going to buy a fucking car TONIGHT.

 

 

Likewise.  After 'buying' a Mazda MX-3 but hearing nowt from the seller I was getting desperate so have ended up with a Renault.  Collection caper commences in 20 minutes!

I've just turned my out of office on! Excited!

It's a shit poor boring excuse but I am gutted not to be able to make this years event, Shitefest is always one of the highlights of my old car calendar, sadly having a young family combined with such a long distance (roughly 1100 miles in a weekend) and nothing I'd particularly like to take that far means I'll have to pass this year.

 

I'm taking the Van to Buckfastleigh in Devon next month so that will be my yearly adventure instead. Have a great time everyone.

Fair enough trigger.

 

But 1,100 miles in a weekend does not fly as an excuse with me (or any of the Scotoshiters, I imagine). I did 1,200 miles in a weekend to get to Shitefest 2016.

I, however, do not have a young family to look after. So you've got me there.

 

 

Will you be at FoTU with the van, though? I'll be getting a flight down to Birmingham and staying with RantingYoof in order to go to the FoTU. My geography of England is terrible, BTW, so I've no idea how near or far you are in relation to FoTU.

[hairnet]

A similar level of tat, certainly!

 

It's a bloody saloon too. Can't even sleep in the sodding thing.

cms' solution to broken cars; Buy ALL the cars.

[Inspector Morose]

I aim to be there on Friday afternoon and will be bringing my usual paraffin based cooking and lighting equipment (now with added bigger stove!).

I plan to stop off at Dundee for supplies/bus perving, meet up there?

Oh don't say Dundee, I'm going there Monday to drop a vacuum off and see a fellow collector, but if we are briefly stopping there I can blez past his, chuck him the vac and say see you Monday...

 Could do. I'll be doing a fuel / rest stop at the Shell garage on the corner of Kingsway / Forfar Road. ETA 1245.

[Squire_Dawson]

MO snapped its speedometer cable. New one ordered. Just got to make a gasket for the petrol cap but otherwise ready to rally. Is there a prize for longest journey time?

I can keep a beer cold for you?

How long will a fuel stop take? That's 1.4 miles from where I need to go... If I go infront and shoot off, I could nip in and drop vacuum off, then see you at the Shell?

[Squire_Dawson]

I think I shall be ready for it! Goggle maps sez ~6 hours journey using motorways, which I am avoiding. Therefore, I have doubled the time as a conservative estimate. Plan to arrive late on Friday.

[catsinthewelder]

I'm planning on a really early start on Friday morning to get there mid afternoon.

 

Not 100% certain though as I'm hoping to drop a dog off in Preston on the way up.

Dunno. Tradition dictates we stop somewhere so I suspect I'll be there for 5 - 10 minutes. If you overtake the convoy when we get to Perth then I suspect you will be able to get back to the Shell to meet us. The only nuisance about that petrol station is that it is only accessible if you coming from Perth or Aberdeen. Where in Dundee are you dropping it off?

PM in the offing

[Inspector Morose]

IIRC, there's a Morrisons or something not far from the staton at Dundee so I'll stock up on supplies/everything I've forgotten to bring there and meet you at the shell.

[HMC]

Both our little lads are coming down (we think) with chicken pox so I'm going to have to stay home and help out. OBV glad to do it but I'm gutted that my purposefully taken Friday day off won't be spend on the road trip to chez saabnut.

The Morrison's at Caird Park is just north of the Shell garage I plan to use
