holbeck Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Longshot. Anyone coming to shitefest got some unwanted / scrap 4x100 rims with tyres? I'm looking for some slave wheels to put on the Safrane whilst I recover the new tyres to put on something else. I'm planning to drop into SF during the weekend just to say hi at some point during the weekend. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I thought about brimming mine up for the trip but remembered id pass out with the fumes by the m5 so decided against it. Wuvvum - no hassle, I have it on the server, I'll get it on tonight. Just spied a laptop bag abandoned on the shelves at work so will try and swipe that tonight... My tent may well very much not be waterproof, may leave my phone in the car overnight just in case, and all my clothes so I have some dry ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beko1987 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Yey, when I should be arriving will be when the rain goes to 84%! Can't leave any earlier though or I'll just spend 2 hours crawling around oxford past Cowley... Can't we go to scotland again? It didnt rain there (much) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also as for Saturday it looks like I am going to head over to the Seaton tramway for an mooch about with FPB7. I may still go down to the Dawlish sea wall to do some train twitching later on.

Portishead onwards is all lit motorway. However I should be in the MGB (providing I go fit this clutch master right now), which on the basis of all the other MGBs I see driven on the roads, they have a top speed of 50-60mph...

Saabnut Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Started to pack the car today. Was well chuffed when I found the pegs for my tent as I had not put them with the poles. Was less chuffed when I discovered the tent itself has been eaten by mice! Not just a small hole either..... Will pick up a new tent on the way down.

JohnK Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Still can't decide whether to pack the tent or just sleep in the car to be honest. I guess I better pull all of my stuff out tonight and see what is what! Nothing like being organized! My Shitefest transport is being collected tomorrow too; I said I would be organized this year for a change, quite obviously that has not happened...

chatsharris Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I'm debating having a backup plan, namely taking the Saab instead of the Prelude as I could probably fit an air mattress in there.Probably still take the Prelude though. I'm an idiot like that. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk JohnK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I was pondering if I could sleep in the back of the BGT. Reasonably sized load area and I'm not very tall anyway! Probably not and I'll just come for the day. Mrs SiC has been good and hardly moaned, despite the fact I've been doing car stuff for the last few weekends. Don't want to push my luck too far...
