Sun 8th July

 

Anyone interested in coming along? I might seeing as it's a local show and the 400 seems to be a generally well received car.

 

They supposedly have a theme of 'cars with character' which I'm sure we can bend the context of to our liking.

 

It goes on 11-5 to the public, but you have to register your attendance and exhibitors are requested to be there from 10:30am-4pm. 

 

Anyone interested in a forum presence?

[Wack]

I'd give that one a go

 

I see there's a section on registration

 

Are you part of a
club display ? if so
enter the club details:

 

will the word autoshite trigger a flashing light on top of the organisers monitor

 

Please note that the organisers are trying to present a variety of makes and models of cars and motorbikes so reserve the right to limit the number of any one marque and model.

HBF Club again...? 

[Junkman]

I already registered months ago. The term Autoshite does not pose a problem.

[Junkman]

OK, who is showing up for this now?

[Ghosty]

Still need to register but I'll come.

[Junkman]

Registration is not compulsory. They won't turn you away if you didn't book in.

[Wack]

Mustang is going back to nottingham to get the AC fixed next Friday so I might not get it back if they can't do it in a day

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

I will be there, in something or other. 

[Squire_Dawson]

Okay, so I registered today which didn't seem to present a problem. Are we gathering under the banner or do we just do as we are told?

Me and Junkman are convoy-ing from his place, we're leaving at 10am if you want to join us.

[Ghosty]

Can I join?

I've registered too, they're certainly on the ball, and gave me a ring to confirm just now!

[Junkman]

Of course you can.

Shall do.

22:08 might be too late to register, I got the email , is that the entry pass or did they send something else

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

They sent something by post, but I wouldn't worry - in the past I've been let in with no pass, with a pass for a different car etc. 

[Wack]

I'll print the email off that says I'm registered , hopefully that'll be enough, what time are you arriving

The guy on the phone told me not to worry about the registration stuff.

[Wack]

Arrived about 10 , asked if I was with a club, said autoshite and got a puzzled , what , so I'm in the main arena

[Ghosty]

You may have noticed I'm a bit AWOL. Something unavoidable came up but I'll try and pop down for a bit anyway.

[3VOM]

Lost people after I went off talking to the Volvo corner. Back home now, good to see people again.

[Wack]

Despite being in the most obvious car at the show nobody from the forum came and said hello and I couldn't very well walk round shouting autoshite so I met nobody , good day though , had a chat with a few owners, introduced the guy with the home mate 4 seat trike to the forum but I think he was insulted when I said he'd fit right in at autoshite

 

Would go again, really enjoyed it

Sorry I missed you. I think you were only a few cars away from the Northern Powerhouse regulars. (Yellow P6 Rover, White Renault 16, Grey Morris Oxford)

[Junkman]

The GGG was all present and correct.

 

[Junkman]

Conrad was indifferent about a car that actually has Conelrad markings on its radio.

 

[Junkman]

A surprisingly nicely done and period correct '57 Chevy Gasser.

 

 

[Junkman]

I think the plate reads TINITUS, which makes sense looking at its crew.

 

[Junkman]

This '69 F-bird was razor sharp.

 

 

[Junkman]

Two guys looking over the wrong car.

 

[Wack]

Bugger, I wasn't sure and they weren't there most of the day , had a good chat with the guys in the white mustang , red corvette and Nash though and that beautiful black facel
