Rustival 4: 18th April 2026 - A fun day

I've got 2 vintage vacuum cleaners out to give back to their owner who will be there tomorrow from Cornwall 👌 

Will need to wander out to the pleb parking to move them between cars at some point

Anyone else heading for Gilk's cafe this evening? There isn't much mention of it on the Facebook page so I'm wondering about the turnout 🫣

@egg and I are heading there. Tickets went pretty promptly so hopefully a decent turnout.

Leicester Forest services now....

Getting there!

Autoshite Assemble here.

Just been out to chuck some fuel in the Jag and grab a meal deal for my lunch so I can make a prompt start in the morning.

Dortmund is quite the journey!

I've failed in my quest to get the Kitten checked over well enough for the 5+ hr round trip due to being ill all week so I'll be letting the stand down and bringing my Panda. At least its yellow 

[Sunny Jim]

And it's also named after a furry mammal.

[Blake's Den]

It is pride of Longbridge on Saturday too so I'm expecting to see plenty of chod on the drive down 

[jon.k]

See you tomorrow!

How serious is the 9.30 bit?

09:30 isn't a super hard deadline but they're pretty likely to send everyone to Visitor Parking after or near 10:30 and the official show start, regardless of ticket.

[MondeoBlues]

This means I’ll be rocking up at 10:29 with a hangover

The Autoshite bike is ready-ish.... But due to various issues Mrs MDH and I probably wont arrive till after half ten, I was only aiming for a normal exhibitor spot to start with but we will most likely be relegated to the visitor parking...

I have not managed to get my Ibiza ready for tomorrow, so will be turning up in the ex @wuvvum roffle win Eos.   

 

It was treated to a new battery last week, and I gingerly tested the roof operation for the first time this year, with great success.  Unfortunately today when operating the tilt and slide sunroof, there was a chewing sound, followed by a snapping noise, so there wont be any wind in the hair motoring tomorrow.

I am aiming for Leigh Delamare at 6.15am, then all the way up the A429 with hopefully very little traffic.

[TMP_319]

I'll hopefully be along tomorrow if the van makes it.

Didn't know specifics in time to join the Autoshite group parking but I'll try to stop by and say hello

PS regardless of my own parking arrangements I will wonder over to the Shite area, it would be rude not to!

It'll be good to see the Jag again, it's been a year now since I sold it I think.

Tickets printed, tools packed, alarm set for 4:30am (FML). Roads should be empty at least.

I saw a Daihatsu Applause this evening. Excite.

[RoverFolkUs]

The owner of the 75 next to me said it's done 170k miles. I've never seen one that colour before. It was so clean I'd have believed him if he said it had done 50k 😅

Also; clean now 

 

[mat_the_cat]

I'm close by, in a familiar location!

[Sunny Jim]

 

"It's166 miles to Gaydon, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of jaffa cakes, it's dark... and I can't find my reading glasses. Hit it!"

I don't have to leave until half 8, but if I guess that you'd be going past Oxford at 8.10ish I could leave a bit earlier and try and find you 🤔 (unless your planning a stop en route?)

[Sunny Jim]

Co-pilot didn't appreciate the early start and only woke up when I stopped for a wee to have one himself.
