Event Shitefest 7th -9th June 2019

[davehedgehog31]

I should be there, but will need to confirm later this week if I can get the required holidays at work. 

Should really bring the 405 full of veg oil, but I can lie full length in the back of the Saab. The drawback being 4x the fuel costs. Decisions, decisions.

Do the seats not fold down in the saloon?

[davehedgehog31]

Nah, the back of the seat is fixed unfortunately. 

The C5 would be perfect, but hoping it will be off fleet by then.

Do what I plan to do and fold the front passenger seat right down and sleep across that. I'm also going to try and just remove the passenger seat and build a wooden box to fill the foot well to provide a platform but I doubt that will help too much

Sleeping in a wooden box you say.

Another maybe here dependent on work and the state of cars! If I bring the pug I'll be using 20% of the year's mileage allowance in one trip! I suppose I'd better get a move on getting the bloody thing together!

What are the chances of that odometer working anyway?

I'm an unlikely now as the annual pilgrimage to Le Mans starts on the 10th June and I'd have to drive from Liverpool -> Shitefest 19 -> rural Norfolk -> LM all in a couple of days. 

959 miles.

Pah! Home to Le Mans direct is 939 miles! I am planning on SF19, LM24, Sheffield (wedding) and Sledmere (rally) on 4 consecutive weekends so a month away from home.

Now almost certain that th Cobra will not make it due to ongoing clutch issues, so tomorrow I start work on an alternative!

^ I’ve got those freebie Saab oil filters on one side for you btw, just reminding myself!

Another idea to get rid of the gold xantia . Why don’t we all have a big game of spoof for it !

Loser has to take the Xantia home?

[twosmoke300]

You got it

 

[Six-cylinder]

It has visited me and therefore I have built up immunity to catching it!

[beko1987]

Have I missed a post or thread about this gold xantia? 

[montytom]

That looks a nice car that xantia. For some reason I thought it was an estate

[wuvvum]

How many shiters has that thing been through now?

EDIT - what's going on with that line spacing?

It seems to be the way with computers these days. Return for a double line space, shift+return for a single.

[chatsharris]

Please add myself and Fatharris onto the attending list (Separate entries, we're both coming from opposite ends - but enough about our sexual preferences).

[chatsharris]

And more excitingly - I'LL BE IN THE PRELUDE!

[twosmoke300]

Uh oh - this is gonna get drinky

Any suggestions for Saturday afternoon activities?

I may drive to Crediton and get a train to Teignmouth just so I can go along the Dawlish sea wall.

I thought today was Sunday, but I am easily confused!

I was inferring the Saturday of Shitefest

[Saabnut]

As I said, I am easily confused! I thought I was on a different thread, sorry!

[kirton]

Train from Crediton every hour at 25 to hour to Exeter with about 10 minute wait at Exeter for slow train to Paignton, or at same time to Barnstaple. Free parking at Crediton station but be there early as you have to go over the level crossing before the barriers drop.

[dollywobbler]

Also the option of a terrifying and lively ride on a Pacer between Exeter and Bideford. That really is train shite.

[kirton]

You will have to be satisfied with only getting to Barnstaple, line on to Bideford closed in 1962

[chatsharris]

Top things to do in Barnstaple:

1.   Leave.
