Shitefest 23...???

[twosmoke300]

Have I missed anything ? 
Really enjoyed the last one 

[dollywobbler]

@triggerwas meant to be organising a Shitefest but Covid rather ruined those plans. Hopefully he'll revive the plans? 

[twosmoke300]

Whoop 

[catsinthewelder]

Either that or you're doing it 😂

my plan for that was to pass my driving test, go full ham on getting REV road worthy and then drive down to my first shitefest in me Invacar  

of course all that got scuppered by the worlds tits going skyward

but I have finally managed to pass my test and REV is almost roadworthy now, so who knows I might just be able to do that after-all!

I think this is now the Shitefest '22 planning thread. 

[beko1987]

I was assuming Triggerfest was still on, just pending new dates etc 

 

[hairnet]

Love you trig

[davidfowler2000]

I was unable to get the time off for Triggerfest last year. Shame 'cos it was a proper good distance that the Scottish are well reknowned for. That said I did manage the time off for Le Merdefest at Saabnut's French gaff that never happened either. Much sadface.

Potentially a 1000 mile round trip to stand in a field talking shit about shit cars. Yes please.

[trigger]

If there still interest then I'm happy to look into this again

[Ghosty]

I'm sure there is. 

[bub2006]

Yes from me. 

[twosmoke300]

Hell yes ! From the Cornish Massif 🤣

[beko1987]

Yup from me! 

[St.Jude]

Ah sure why not. It'll be a hoot.

To go, not to organise I imagine.

Trig has a great deal of experience of organising car-related get togethers at the Rose - it'll be fine.

Organisation isn't hard... Just got to tell everyone which random field in the country to turn up at. Then sit back and see who makes it!

I told the wife I'd like to go,  but I'd be rocking up in her Fiat Panda. She wasn't amused.

I'll bring the Mr2 then for @Dick Longbridge to spin around some country lanes.

Usually a mix of car sleeping, tents and local hotels. 

I think Mr trigger had worked most of that out before Covid hit, so hopefully it'll just be a case of re confirming all of that and carry on. 

I'll be in my small tent hopefully, and if I still have the Xsara I won't feel that it's in the boot as I did dragging it to and from sf(20? The Devon one) in the 1.4 zx 😂

[trigger]

We'll basically have this field

There's a pub in the left corner too so there's plenty of room., camping on the field, toilets on site, pub for food and there's a happy shopper a few doors up too. 

I'll arrange for a visit to the Ipswich Transport Museum too on the Saturday if there's interest, it's about a 25-30 min drive away. 

I'll have to check with the pub but I can't see it being a problem still but we'll need a date to forward to them, so one rather than later to make sure it's booked

[Fumbler]

Aww yeah. Count me in, I'm certainly interested.

Yes chap. Midlands Massiv (Bewdley branch).

I am relatively new here, what is Shitefest all about then (Other than being a festival of Shite) 

 

Also whereabouts would it be?

Just the usual really, meeting up with forum members, chatting crap, drinking to much, getting naked and swapping car keys into a bowl, that kind of thing. 

If we get the go ahead it will be at the Rose pub in Shotley, Suffolk IP9 1NL

Thank you, I will definitely give it a think, I have family up there so might make a composite trip...

... Suffolk... 

Wouldn't Norfolk be a more appropriate venue?
