Event Festival of the Unexceptional on Saturday 14th July 2018

[Sloth in a bowl]

I've booked into the classic parking with the Wizzkid. Which gives me a bit of deadline to get to running and MOT'd.

Has dollywobbler booked in yet? Even though I can't go I'd happily chip in a few quid if we booked the invacar in for him, just to motivate him a bit!

1) Hagerty, who organise it, are sponsoring the Invacar project. I think I'm on their radar.

2) It's free!

3) I'm booked.

[beko1987]

Oh I see, your 'working' that weekend! No pressure then

[Zelandeth]

Lada and Activa have been booked in.

 

It seems a bit premature to book the Invacar in at this point given that it's still a long way off being roadworthy!  How things progress in the next couple of weeks may determine whether that gets booked or not.

[beko1987]

Doesn't sound like he has much choice now!

Did you forget that Zel owns one too?

 

There might be another one there as well. We'll need to form a display team.

[Inspector Morose]

The green machine has been booked in.

[AnthonyG]

What a palaver to book for the spectator parking. Anyway done now.

It would be downright epic fun to get a few of them all there at once...

 

Aside from anything else, sure playing "spot the difference" between the cars could provide a good bit of entertainment to pass the time...

I think it must be deliberate, like the days when it was practically impossible to join Autoshite. Only the shiteist will survive!

I've booked into the classic parking with the 205 - no objections thus far.

According to the Facebook page classics of all eras are welcone in the classic parking area... might book my Saab in... it's sort of a classic!

[Tadhg Tiogar]

387 spaces left.

Tickets for the car park obtained

With Invacars having sliding doors on both sides, can you see where this could be going?

[rantingYoof]

I have booked spectator non-shite parking.

[greengartside]

Me too! Looking forward to it!

Christine..next time you come in the shop,ive printed off your ticket..also been sing bits of those exhausts you gave me to ''hand craft'' a rear box for my fester...and have also found a hole that'll need welding up on the inner sill

[Christine]

 You're taking the fester ?   I thought you'd take  your blue 2000..

Thanks,I'll be in Monday ,  my £2  Mintex wheel cylinders arrived..    I didn't trust the 99p ones    .

Are you suggesting that we bring a couple of ramps and remove the seat?

 

I think that setting it on fire would be a step too far though.

Just booked the Saab into classic parking...

 

Been wanting to come to this each year it's run... so I'm looking forward to it!

as my 2000 is two tone green..the fester is blue..but it'll be a case of which ever one is moted and running 

[gigglepin]

As time cracks on i thought i'd better look at the whole that needs welding..so after dropping rear axle

[gigglepin]

 

[gigglepin]

pic might help

[Christine]

Vettec Superfast will fix that  

 

Hang on I'll find a pic of  mine 

 

Started by finding a smoll hole at the wheel arch leading edge..

 

 

So i hit it with a hammer and the sill caved in  

 

 

And the end of the inner sill fell out too

 

 

 

The arch on the other side was crumbly too..  I got someone else to do that..

 

 

 

 

[gigglepin]

the weird thing is , though, the inner sill is nigh on mint

[Six-cylinder]

The Field of Dreams camping paddock had its first cut yesterday while our 8 HP mower could still cope!

[Christine]

Phworr ! Can I bring my classic 500cc Dennis and play shite mowers ?
