One road straight up to the railway station and back again - probably a 10 minute stroll. Other than the Great Northern you won't get any nearer to the train station. Peterborough gets a bad rep (in SOME ways unfairly) - there are some great bars. Charters is very near to that hotel and is a real ale bar on a boat and then there's the Brewery Tap right opposite the railway station which brews and does fantastic food too. I'm sad not to be able to make it this year but we're in Cornwall. A real shame. Damn, was hoping to see the Sierra in the metal this year. Hopefully @rob88h might make it in the DERV one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR8 PL8 M8 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I've picked up a ticket - Grimsthorpe is annoyingly far especially for a day trip (and especially when previous year's events were in Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire) but I know I'll regret it if I don't buy one. I'm assuming I can always resell it if I change my mind, and would hopefully make someone's day doing so. wesacosa and Spurious 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crackers Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Booked in with the P6. That means I have from the last weekend in May, to the 29th of July to do the work it needs. Challenge accepted*. If not I'll bring the Series 3 up, because Surrey to Linconshire on the M25 and A1 is obviously a journey that'll suit it.

wuvvum Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I've booked the Toyota in and then realised that it runs out of MOT three days before. Ho hum. Hopefully it'll pass fairly easily again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoverFolkUs Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Hmm, for a loner like myself who would have nobody interested in the event enough to go with, £20 is rather pricey for one person. Couple that with the 400 mile round trip I'm 'oot sadly, which is a shame because it looks pretty good and never been before for the same above reasons There's always next year, maybe a shite-friendly friend will appear who would want to go with me!

Schaefft Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Bought a ticket for the Corona EXiV, I'm hoping that it'll make the trip this time! I even forked out the extra 15 quid for the valuation which comes with priority parking which hopefully is not in a dark corner somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grogee Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 This is genuinely one of the most interesting car shows to me. I'm totally left cold by most classics but the thought of seeing some shiny old chod is very appealing. However... Because they've organised Mike Brewer to come and talk cockney bollocks and be the 'star attraction', I refuse to go. I won't be associated with anything that pays that whey-faced chancer any money or publicity. A real shame as I was looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidfowler2000 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 That's me got my rest day swap confirmed with one of the other drivers so my time off for FoTU is now guaranteed. I am already booked in to the Premier Inn Peebo City Centre as is @blackboilersuit . We're aiming to be there on Thursday night so we can get a train to London on Friday for a wee day out. Still waiting on @320touringand @jaypee booking somewhere. @captain_70shas expressed interest in going as has @cms206, @Supernaut and maybe @rml2345for a full on Scotoshite contingent but they are all at the mercy of shifts / hotel bookings / working transport. 320touring, BorniteIdentity and mat_the_cat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to bother. My car doesn't qualify (one year too new) and all the modernz tickets have sold out already. I also can't really be arsed. I'll be going to Shitefest in Wales a couple of weeks before this. At the time of FoTU I'll likely be in Aberdeenshire instead. There are several birthdays in my circles that all fall at the end of July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juular Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I've booked in the 240 for FoTU. Accommodation will either be a last minute panic or I'll do there and back in a day. davidfowler2000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 1997 is more of a guideline than hard rule, and is aimed more at the concourse entry The other tickets are for classic and unexceptional vehicles so depending on the car a 1998 may be suitable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rml2345 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I am going for the day as unlikely to make Shitefest this year anyway due to work/getting married the Saturday after FoTU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
