Rustival 2025 - Who's Going

[wesacosa]

All being well I'll be there in the Xedos

Anyone else going?

[Talbot]

A previously-on-fire, engine-swapped-due-to-big-end-failure, previously-with-30mm-of-toe-in, exploded-fuse-box and speedo-20%-wrong Spitfire will be in attendance.

hopefully.

[N Dentressangle]

Me and a mate. In what, I don't know yet.

Choice is Mini 25, MGBGT or something a bit more modern.

[chaseracer]

Yes, with the Dyane.

[Schaefft]

Got tickets now, Q45 again!

[Marina door handles]

I will be attending with my better half, for some reason I didn't buy an exhibitor ticket, so if I take my 827 it will be cheering up the normal car park! 

[Six-cylinder]

I am booked, but I am not in a position to get my Visa Twin pot booked out of storage. I guess I will use something I have at home so Fiat Seicento Active if it is wet or 1933 Rolls Royce 20/25 if it is dry. 

[Sunny Jim]

I'll be there, probably in the Grim Sleeper.

[Wibble]

We need Autoshite polo shirts so we can identify other members.

I missed out on exhibitor tickets, but will try and find someone who doesn’t want theirs  and be there in the TransSport.

there's usually some on offer on the Rustival Facebook page for those who have car issues or last minute change of plan

Yeah, I keep missing out as I’m not on Facebook that often, but I’ll keep checking!

There's people reaching out to the team via email, might be worth sending them an email if you aren't on FB to catch someone on there.

[catsinthewelder]

Have fun chaps, unfortunately I need to be in Inverness the day before so can't come 😔

If someone wants to take the lead, it is possible to arrange an Autoshite group parking area - needs one person to email [email protected] with how many spaces are needed. Naturally all need an exhibitor ticket.

Still working very hard behind the scenes to ensure everything is in place for this one.

[Mally]

Have realised I could go in the 75, but no tickets.

Anyone dropping out with an exhibitor plus one tickets, I'll pay £30 total, which would be my advance concession cost.

[brownnova]

Exhibitor ticket achieved!

Many thanks to the kind shiter who assisted.

Assume no-one did this? 
Too late now I’m guessing.

Probably not

[dollywobbler]

Sadly the deadline was Saturday just to give us enough time to get everything in place. My own To Do list is still a little ominous!

But just to remind people, visitor tickets are still available - the only difference being you can't park within the show. You still get all the museum access and can see our live stage guests.

Fair enough, totally understandable!

Hope the prep goes well and the arrangements fall into place nicely. 

[beko1987]

I've left it too late to afford or buy tickets I think, unless by chance there's general admission ones on the day 🤔

Its an expensive day with 2 kids. I bought my mum and stepdad last year and whilst they bought lunch and helped it cost even more for the tickets 😂

If I don't have the kids though I could nip up on my own 🤔

[wesacosa]

50/50 for me now.

The Xedos started playing up a bit coming back from Brands (not dropping in to top gear), nursed it home down the m/way.  Then took it for a spin 30 mins later and the bloody thing was working fine !  Hoping its an electrical gremlin not something more mechanical in the box, but Gaydon is a bloody long way from me if the car is misbehaving

I’ll be there. How do we have a shiters focal point? How will I know what @brownnova @chaseracer and co look like? As @Wibble says perhaps we need a secret sign, like hands caked in Wob or weld burns on your face or something.

Thanks to @dollywobbler I will be on stage promoting my two books, probably with that JayEmm interviewing me. Please, please, please come and say hello or smile or wave or something. You don’t have to buy any of my shite books!

I think the easiest way to find each other is to all gravitate towards your easily identified mustache surely?? 🤣🙈

Haha! Come and say hello. 👍🏻

[Sunny Jim]

Do you know what time you're on yet @motorpunk? Shiters let's all meet up to see him do his thing - maybe bring some placards, get some fashion advice from @captain_70s , light a brazier and stage some industrial action - one out, all out. Or we could just look awkwardly at our feet whilst being socially inept like we usually do?
