Anyone going to Car Craft 13th/14th March at Stafford County Showground.

I’m thinking of camping (if it’s allowed ) anyone else up for it.

Going Sunday
Hope theres loads of bits stalls

Me to, loads of work over the next month so no car time
But lots of money for car bits

I shall be there in my official capacity on the Sunday, you can camp, but it's bloody cold!!

Cheers

Chris

will be there Sunday, On the lash in Dublin the Thursday and friday before!

Is there going to be a common meeting place so some of us that have not met anyone off this list can put a few names to some faces?

Sorry to dissapoint but its notoriosly poo for "builders" stalls, plenty of neon water jets, fake carbon fibre air vents and furry dice

oh i forgot, im sure you will be able to sign up for a new mobile too.

CAMPING @ STAFFORD

Did it a couple of years ago,never again

It was brass monkeys and myself and the brotherinlaw thought we were going to die,get a B+B for the night you know it makes sense

The amount of natural thermal padding you two carry how the hell could you think you were gonna die?

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

It is cold tho' hippy - "is it the cold that makes yours so small...?"

Sounds good

Ill bring 20p

Any details for Goodwood yet Chris.

Call your self’s locoster's, since when was a B&B locost.
Next you’ll be getting a Volvo with a roof and heated seats

LOL

Carl,it was that cold mate.We nearly gave up,was going to leave the tent there and go look for a hotel

You’re probably right Bob
I’ll see what the weather’s like closer to the time.

Where there many camping when you went?

there were a couple of other tents with brave souls in, but in the main it was a few caravans and campervans.

The toilets were locked and we couldnt find any water,as luck would have it we took beer which eventually numbed the pain

see you all there on sunday

I'll be there Sunday, look forward to seeing you all again.

All the best Dan.

going sat with bourne and 8 thumpers and then popping across to see you guys on sunday

What is this show?

Never heard of it before - is it kit cars, or general car stuff?

How is it for bits-and-pieces sellers?

David

David

all the main bit n piece sellers are there normally,its not bad for an opener its a bit like donington without the track.

Has anybody got directions to it.

Thanks Gordon

Probably do Sunday.

160miles seems a blinkin long way for a kit car show though!

James

Looking forward to it. Made sure the Wife is busy on the Sunday and has no jobs lined up.

Better still it's my birthday the week after so I can even get away with treating myself to something.

Andrew

You need beer and a couple of tins of baked beans down you. Soon warms up if the tent is small enough.

yours, Pete.

P.S. Glad I've got a caravan.

I used beer and tin of lethal chilli a couple of years back

Just about survived,only made one emergency call to ray mears but he said find a hotel

Any body needing directions?

Lucky me, I'm only about 12 miles from it!

Terry

I'm driving down from Aberdeen !!!, the wife thinks she's going away for a nice weekend to Stafford. Hee Hee, just wait till she see's the credit card statment.
Anyone recommend a place to stay on the friday night within an hour or so of Stafford, North on M6 ? Perhaps if there's something near there for the wife on the Friday, I wont get so much grief when we drive into a Kit car show car park !

I'll be there.. the one sitting next to the "for sale" stand with my dog and bucket.

Are you selling a dog and bucket then? I wasn't going but I am now. I want the wheels off fifer and it's the easiest place to pick them up so I may as well have a look round. Buxton might be a place for Friday night if it's not too far out of the way.

yours, Pete.

Yes Buxtons OK especialy for the girls. If your stopping over try the Buckinham Hotel good and not too expensive. Ill find some others if you want this area. In fact if you want I could pick you up Sunday morning so you can leave your car with the wife

Gordon

Can someone who's going see if Carlife Rubbercoat still exists please?

See thread:

Cheers

Thanks for the Buxton tip Ninja, I am only there on Fri and Sat but thanks also for offer of lift on Sunday.
Peteff, are you going to be there on Saturday then ?
If so, just call my mobile and we can hook up.

Hi all,

I hope to be there Sunday looking to see if theres any good cars for sale.....

Also if anyone wants any seats, dont forget to get in touch with me before you buy.

Regards

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

You know we're meeting in the bar at 12! Come along and say hello.

Would be nice to meet the guy I'm planning to buy my Cobras off!

Cheers,

James

I got the wheels off Steve (thanks Fifer) who was buying with a vengeance and I had a look round for a couple of hours. I bought a set of drills as well. Saw him and his wife as they were leaving, hope they had a good trip back to Scotland. Really glad I decided to go Saturday as the weather today is awful, rain and wind here.

nice to see some new faces and some of the old ones as well

Saw you all throught he window in the bar, but it was so busy i couldn't get in! I went off to get a couple more bits intending to come back after half an hour when things had died down a bit, 2.5 hrs later and £200 lighter i remembered and you had gone

Got a total bargain from that scrappy lookings stand by the bar, a set of brand new, drilled and grooved Black diamond disc for an XR4x4 for £35!! These are £160 from Demon tw@ts!!!

Great to see everybody, not a bad little show pity about the weather, I got soaked just getting back to the car.

just for the record, the pic i took. sorry to mk ninja and the others that got cut out of the shot (i was standing on a chair to get it!)

Ned.

Glad you chaps have a good time, I spent Sunday driving down German autobahns at 140mph in the sunshine.

BTW - whose the f*t tw*t ruining the picture

Ah...the only one I can put a name to...

Could someone repost this pic, but with names on?

THX

Chances that I'll be able to upload a photo? ...




Here's hoping...

James

James, cheers..

Helps to put names to faces....

Good picture except that "Andy" is actually Steve Faunch.

Cheers

Chris

LOL

I see roland keeps his in a bag nowadays.

Oops- sorry Steve!

When I get back to work I change it- if I remember.

This being off work sick is a terrible thing- I've only managed about 5 hours out in the garage today!
