Ok a confession, I have never been to the Bromley Pageant despite only living 45 minutes away! I'm looking forward to making the effort this year though. Its on the 12th of June, so 1 month away, are there enough members going to stage an Autoshite get-together ???

Its not just 45 mins away on the day. Its at least 2 hours with the overpowering smell of overheating engines and exhaust fumes all the way. Although I have only been there in imps so it might be different for other people.

[Negative Creep]

It's tempting, especially as I could stay at my parent's house. But I've no idea what I'll be driving then

[seth]

I haven't been for a few years as it normally seems to clash with something else and I do the something else. Retro Show at Santa Pod perhaps?

Rover K series for me, so yeah

[Torsten2001]

I'm sure I'll be there in a BMC product, plain sailing!

[gricer]

It's very irritating that this is on the same day as the equally excellent Luton Festival of Transport, which I've already signed up to attend. You'd think it would benefit both events if they didn't clash...

Might go -but no idea what in -half the dailies will have been swopped over by then.

 

I dont tend to prebook to get 'in' . I'm quite happy to avoid those awful queues and drive straight in to the Punters park. Few hours wombling then away cleanly. Preferable -every time.

 

Dont mind an M"5 ish realted meet up- on that kinda basis

Hmmm two days after I return to sunny England. Jet lag much?

 

I might be tempted if I can cadge a lift off someone down my way (FAO garycox ) (Where is Gary anyway? Not seen him online fer ages...)

[Guest]

Tempted to go but usually take muckerbike to a. avoid traffic chaos and b. stops me buying too much old crap! oh and c. remove possibility of almost running over a Met plod who luckily turned out to be a mate from school....

[garycox]

I'm here!

 

Not been online much recently, as I moved house 3 weeks ago. The internet's only just been activated and so far the connection's been pretty shit. I'm catching up slowly, but it takes a long time to read a month's worth of Autoshite!

 

Anyway, I'll probably be going to Bromley but as usual I have spectacularly failed to get anything interesting ready in time, so I expect it'll be the shitty old Astra again (now with non-functioning stereo GR8 4 BEIN BORD).

 

Happy to offer a lift if you want Scott, and as you'll have been in the USA for ages the Astra is sure to seem like an exotic and unusual vehicle.

[dollywobbler]

For the first time in several years, I will not be there. Can't say I'll miss the queues!

 

Luton Festival of Transport is well worth a visit too, especially as Vauxhall Heritage tend to have their doors open as well.

[Barrett.in.the.USA]

Okay, so who is going to this then? I should be there with Mr. Cox if I'm not totally out of it after my journey.

[trigger]

I'm there, tickets all ordered and paid for, I just have to collect them from the gate, I'm taking my wife, mum and her partner so I be in the Mondeo instead of anything interesting though.

[Barrett.in.the.USA]

The Kadett has 4 seats doesn't it??

[trigger]

It has but i don't fancy driving a 4 hour round trip in it just for the day with the family and dog in tow plus the Mondeo would be cheaper.

 

If i had thought about it more i would have booked the Kadett in as it's only £5 each per couple then.

[Alexg]

IN THE NAME OF BLOODY HELL. I have to work That means this year I am forced to miss this, The Retro Show and Goodwood FOS...

 

BOLLOCKS BOLLOCKS BOLLOCKS !!!!!!!

[254575]

i'll be there on the maestro and montego club stand. feel free to come and say hi!

 

if anyone needs a lift from surrey area i may have a spare seat.

[Craig the Princess]

I'll be on the Allegro club stand with the shite-ly painted blue Allegro with a union jack on the bonnet.

[nigel bickle]

Not this year -sorry. Currently unable to walk more than 25yards.

[garycox]

I should be there - Barrett do you wanna come? My phone won't send messages to yours for some reason.

[Torsten2001]

I should be there with 2 motors, the A40 and Merc 220....if they make it!

[trigger]

I will be there but without a car, I wish i booked one in now!

[trigger]

What a wash out, rained all day, lots of cars left early or didn't even turn up and the field leaving was a mud pit, my Mondeo made a hell of a bang as it grounded out in the mud and i lost part of my tow bar.

 

I did see lots of cool stuff though and i saw landy109's Maestro and Craig's Allegro, I've got lots od photos.

[254575]

here are my pics from a rather washed out Bromley, I searched out Craigs car and introduced myself, sorry if it was a bit stalkerish

[boobydoo]

What a shame about the weather! Thanks for the pics....I just love all that bread and butter stuff...Marinas, Maestros etc. They all look mint!

 

The orange Passat would have caught my eye for quite a while....lovely!

[trigger]

I saw you down there Landy, I was going to say hi but you was chatting to your mate with the coat so i took a few photo of your cars instead!, I'll add mine to this once I'll uploaded all 273 of them!

[RoadworkUK]

Gratuitous shiterpr0n there, I wold have been there were I not destitute and up to my teeth in disastrously designed Austin Rover "executive" car.

 

I'll take the mint XR4x4 with RS wheels, please Carol.

[Timewaster]

I'll be on the Allegro club stand with the shite-ly painted blue Allegro with a union jack on the bonnet.

 

SPOTTED! A10 at waterbeach about 5.45. No pics as I was driving a work van.
