The Autoshite Day Trip 2010 - Stondon Museum - 26 Sept

[oldford]

It's going to be a Super Shite Spotting Sunday.

[Mr Lobster]

I'm aiming to be there for 11.00. Possibly a bit earlier depending on traffic.

 

Has anyone told the AA / RAC to cancel holidays for all their patrols tomorrow?

[Ben_Mk3]

Looking like a fantastic turn out, can't wait to see some of these cars!

 

Cars all washed, polished and hoovered and looking lovely!!

 

Are we all parking in the car park together or are we having our own section type thing?

[Mr Lobster]

I've given the van a quick once over. Now decidiing on route. A1 will be more scenic but Multimap reckons M6-A14-A1 is quickest.

[Ben_Mk3]

It's only half hour drive for us so not to bad

[dollywobbler]

I'm going to bring the 2CV, and am also aiming for 11am.

[Torsten2001]

I should be there about 11 with Mini-me, you can scrub my mate and his 635 out and I'm not bringing the Triumph as it's in the Dungeon and I can't be arsed so I shall be in the yellow Skoda

See you there!

Errr....it aint the NEC!! Oh, I've parked in Green Zone section B.Is there a shuttle bus?

 

You will fill the car park!

 

Seriously though, have a great day...I promise you will enjoy it. Lots of pics please. Sorry I can't make it.

[pandamonium]

I have been given permission to go, so the 'Hellraiser' Merc will be in attendance.

 

See you guys there!

[wuvvum]

No valetage has taken place here today as the weather has been vile. So the car will be filthy, soz.

^What he said

[boobydoo]

Oh, as you exit the museum, there's this really weird collection of cuddly toys and naff dollies sitting round a gypsy caravan thing. It looks like the sort of display you might find in a paedophiles back garden.

[Mr Lobster]

I've not done any valetage either. Just 'fixed' the floppy door mirror with tape. That'll do.

You have just described "Collectors World" in Downham Market. Now that IS a shite museum - unless you fancy wasting an afternoon of your life admiring a table of teasmaids or the Barbara Cartland shrine.

Have they got any Goblin Teasmaids? Quite liking the sound of that, actually.....Downham Market you say.....?

[barrett]

So does anyone know if there is a decent Inn nearby for lunch and ales?

[retrogeezer]

have a great day guys and gals.....wish I could be there.

[Maestroman]

I've just dragged myself out of bed, about to leave in 1/2 hour. In the A35 though, so who knows what might happen!

 

RAC card, CHECK. Sat Nav, CHECK, Petrol, CHECK

[trigger]

Im just about to leave in the Kadett, its hammering it down though, so expect me to arrive in a pile of rust.

[dollywobbler]

It's quite pleasant, but a bit cloudy here. Hope you burst through the rain soon Trig!

[Maestroman]

It's a bit grey here but no rain yet. I'm going via the A130/A12/A120 to avoid the motorways.

 

Now get off AS Richard and do some driving!

[254575]

no rain here yet, just threatening. will be leaving in about half an hour once the kids are ready!

[trigger]

Just pulled over at a petrol station in Duxford, its full of old buses around here! and its been rainning since i left home

[Pete-M]

I can't make it. Knackered after yesterdays 1000 mile lunacy. Next time, probably.

 

Here's a pic of a 125p dashboard as compensation. Have fun folks.

Yep it's rained here too, car was all shiny

 

Dunno if/when I'm leaving

[flat4alfa]

in the garage late last night I properly broke the Lancia

Alfa in hiding from ANPR 'cause paperwork still not through

not going to make it until after midday if I was anyhow

Next time, eh.

[Dead_E23]

Too bad you couldn't make it - what a brilliant museum! Here's some pictures:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did everyone else have a good time?

[dollywobbler]

Blimey. Quick with the pics! Was really nice to meet folk, including 'The so-called Management!'

[seth]

Was wondering whether to do a new thread for photos or bung them in here? PLenty of cameras were in attendance so there should be at least one phot of every exhibit...

 

A few from the car park starters.

 

 

 

 

Dare I say the plastic Ginetta felt at home by the uPVC conservatories?

 

 

 

 

 

Cheer up! Worst things have happened at sea!
