laumk7 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Might try and make it this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I'll be there again this year, but might decide to camp there the night before to avoid all the horrible queues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 How long does it take you Clive, 4/5 hours? I have to say the hardest part for me is getting up at 4:30/5am... but I prefer to just make it a day thing, although I'd not be able to do it if it was any further. Took me 6 hours with stops. It's quite a boring drive though so I prefer to do it fresh rather than after an early start to avoid queues and a long hot day without really sitting down anywhere. I strongly recommend gazebos and foldy chairs this year. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp999 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I think folding chairs will be okay but gazebo has insurance and liability implications for the club iirc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite enjoy the drive down, M6 onto the M1, nice scenery & we usually stop at the services on the way there and back, kids aren't to struck on the driving & walking around though lol. Talking of the M6 I don't think I've ever been down it & not gone through roadworks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gump Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 hi are classic cars welcome as i would like to go and if so how do you get a ticket and more information cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Classic cars are more than welcome and most definitely welcomed on the club stand. When it gets nearer to the date you can either buy online direct from the organisers or from the club if you want a stand pass to display your car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gump Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 i would like to display my car on the stand will there be a notification when you can buy the tickets and do you buy per person or for the car any information would be handy cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 The tickets go on sale a couple of weeks before the show and are per person. Stand pass is per car. If you want to show your car in the FOC stand then you can request one with your tickets via us. Remember that spaces are limited and we have no control over numbers or where our stand is located. Last year we had a location that I reckon we could have had double the amount on the plot. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_Tango Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Will be attending this year would prefer to buy my tickets through the club though, but would be shy to show off my car as it's not exactly a show stopper xD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Don't be shy, it's not about having show quality cars as much as it is about Members coming together and putting faces to names and having a good yarn. The more cars on the stand we get the better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more cars on the stand we get the better. Not really a shy thing but more of a shiny thing I still need to sort out some dog day care for Ford Fair, preferably near Silverstone, or at least on the way. I don't think a dog sitter this end would be too chuffed to have Brandy dropped off at 4am and nor would Brandy - there'd also be around 16 hours of howling and whining if it was Dorset sitter.

Stoney871 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 As long as the car is clean then anything more is a bonus. My work dogs will go to the local MoD Police kennels and my collie will stay with wifey. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_Tango Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I can at least get in for a detail before going however it's a 190 mile drive for me so by the time I get there it will be dirty no doubt :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philf1 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Quick detailing spray and a few microfibres cloths will clean it up nicely after a long drive See my parts for sale on thread "philf1s Spirit Blue Fiesta ST180 parts for sale" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decent LSP before setting off will help. Personally I'd jet wash it off at a service station or something before QD at the circuit. Last year it was swirl Mark galore & it broke my heart.. www.yorkshiredetailing.co.uk - approved resellers of the Highest quality detailing & Valeting supplies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
