Northern Twixfest/Shitefest 12/13th July '25

[Schaefft]

And that's a wrap! Thanks again to everyone for coming, including those who didn't quite make it all the way! Great route, great pies and great people with shite cars.

 

[juular]

Thanks everyone for a fun day.

The highlight for me was the dogmobile.

[richbraith]

Cheers for a great day, having brought the 19 to two Twixfests now I'm thinking that I need a different car for next time.  It's a bit demanding for the old Carlton, the Cinquecento will take years if it ever makes it back to the road, I could bring the Panda but...I should buy something else, shouldn't I?  Shouldn't I? 

[loserone]

Yes, buy Spartacus's. 

[hairnet]

how did the scottish blerk with the blue car get on?

no medical issues due to car problems?

[gm]

what a very nice way to spend a sunday afternoon

and to test drive the bini of much brokenness 

 

thanks to all involved in organising and hosting, and (perhaps a little cruelly) thanks to those who couldn’t make it for making your pies available  

 

[eddyramrod]

Thank you all for the photos!  Looks like a splendid day was had, by most anyway.  I'll have to try and build up some stamina for the next one, won't I?

 

[Sunny Jim]

Would be good to meet you Mr Ramrod. As I said to someone else who decided not to come, 

Well done for calling it right and not wiping yourself out for next week 👍Far better to decide to stop than keep going until you don't have a choice in the matter.

There'll always be another time.

[tooSavvy]

..... always something there to remind me 👍

GR9 🥂

If people are up for it why not!

[Sunny Jim]

It needs a shady cabal to get together and plot...

[loserone]

We're all here already, let's get plotting.  

 

 

12/13th July is it?

[Schaefft]

Bumping up the thread as the dates for the next Twixfest, this time spanning the entire weekend, have been decided.

Join strangers with questionable interests, sleep in a field, drive someone else's shite car, all you dreams can come true. More details in the first post.

[Jim Bell]

I tried and failed last time. Will try again this time and hope for better results. 

[Sunny Jim]

Not liked for the previous failure but for the willingness to try again.

[tooSavvy]

@Schaefft.. where exactly are the *details for this July 'festFeast' 🤔

So's not to B L8 or Getlost 🥰

🚙💨

[loserone]

I'm going to plan a drive out on the 13th, starting where we ended last time.   

I think the idea is it's a full weekend of activities though, if anyone is interested in that?

[Sunny Jim]

I think it's about time we had a list.

Not Franz but how many nights what you're staying in etc. I'll kick it off.

1) Sunny Jim - Fri & Sat nights onsite in hearse

 

[Schaefft]

I think location and dates are all we've settled on so far. The format will be similar to most weekend long shitefests, which means bring a tent/vehicle of choice if you want to stay overnight. There will be a fire, hopefully not the automotive type. Facilities in form of portaloos will be supplied, we just need to figure out the logistics.

[tooSavvy]

Savv SWMBO has expressed joy at the prospect of a 'jollie'....

We can swing by whenever, direct from home.

*Don't envy the PLoo guy doing the Group P.C. 🤣🤣

#Added 👍

Where are we talking location wise? I mean i can't be arsed with the noise levels of ragging that old Austin right over your way for one day but might consider the slightly more modern ST. Looks like a good laugh.

[davidfowler2000]

Oooh yeah a Shitefest Twixfest on my weekend off!

1) Sunny Jim - Fri & Sat nights onsite in hearse

2) davidfowler2000 (and likely WOMAN_df2k) - Fri and Sat night on site in the trailer pod

Near Hexham. There'll probably be a WhatsApp group for precise directions, I'll ask our Friends in the North. Be good to meet you whatever you come in - can you spare two days? Stay over Saturday night?

Possibly. I'm a right lazy arse tbf but it'd be nice to meet a few of the people on here. I'll keep an eye on this thread and if it works out I'll make the effort.

[loserone]

Would be grand.  No sure I will do the whole weekend but will likely rock up Saturday night, camp in the express and then coordinate the drive on Sunday 

[Ghosty]

I’m in Hull on July 12th anyway for an event 10-2, so it looks like I’d be daft not to come up anyway. 😀

[alcyonecorporation]

Yeah fuck it, if I'm right side up by July I'll come up. 

[Supernaut]

I suppose I should turn up to something after vanishing north of Aberdeen almost 2 years ago now.

I'm not taking the Land Rover! It'll be either the E36 323i or the battered mk3 Megane.
