She was drunk! Doubt it'll happen again, but best not to mention it next Saturday anyway...

Gonna try to make this.

Any attendees driving seriously tuned coupes? If so anyone fancy taking me for a spin?

W

I'd like that as well.

All I can offer is a ride in my breathtakingly standard car (although it's been in AutoItalia, don't you know !)

So we have a few attending it seems

So we can bring stuff for a BBQ? Any pointers for a first time attendee anyone?

Get there early, but not so early as to get *my* space!
Bring lots of film, or electric film if you have an electric camera.
Bring an umbrella.
Bring comfy shoes; you'll spend some time indoors at the museum, some just walking on concrete paving, and some scrambling up the side of the test track; could be muddy.
And a folding chair or two as you'll no doubt spend some time with the club just gassing...
Food is available but it sounds like barbies are allowed; I'd recommend those throwaway ones but make sure it's out and disposed of.
There are decent toilet facilities on the site.

If its sunny, bring some suncream.

Oh yeah, forgot that, I'd have had to have used the umbrella which I'd no doubt have forgotten.

At the moment the forecast is sunny with showers later in the afternoon, but it's always a bit vague at this distance.

What time do you suggest to turn up then barnacle?

Think he said he intended to get there shortly after 10.30.

The hill runs are at half twelve, I believe.

I'll be coming from Oxford down the M40 and then round the M25 about 9 to 9.30-ish - if anyone fancies a convoy, let me know

As for other stuff to bring - someone is more than welcome to bring a bucket and sponge and clean my car

Good suggestion - if anyone brings a pressure washer, foam lance, 0ppm water supply, TWO buckets, grit guards, 2 pure wool wash mitts, clay bar, random-orbital polisher, pads, compounds, sealant, wax & final glaze they're more than welcome to clean mine

Hello,

I'm going to the show but I'm not sure if I am a fully fledged member of FCCUK yet - I only got registered on the website yesterday.

Would I be welcome at the stand ?
Maybe I could sign up properly at the same time ?

Anthony.
20V Turbo - Ink Black.

Only if it's not as clean as mine!

Hi Antony of course your welcome.

i was going to wake up early and clean mine but might do it there :-)

Brilliant !

See you there.
I've got some spare wheels'n'stuff - is it worth bunging them in the boot ?

Anthony

If you have ANY bits and bobs stick them in the car, I am sure you should receive some interest in the items.

I remember last year that drinks / cans etc were quite expensive on site. Might be an idea to stick a few in a cool bag, or fill up your FCCUK flask

Flasks! I'm a man of means, I am; I have *two*!

i will bring all my stuff with me then lol.

it looks like im back on as the remaining parts for my car will be here on time!!
i will be parking in the coupe for sale section lol

Marco - stick a for sale sign in your window along with a few details on the car. I did so at a previous AI with my old Coupe and got plenty of interest.

Looks like it could be ok weather, better be for £15. Don't they know I'm bringing along an LE!!!

Who's bringing the firelighters and coal, Stamford Hall was a giggle watching Bob try and light the bar-b with two lolly pop sticks!!!

I 'might' be able to get along to this event. Only just spent the day at Bristol Auto Italia event the weekend just gone, so going to have to sweet talk the other half before I can confirm...

Yes I failed misserably

Good job we had a few BBQ experts on the FCCUK Stand

hi people

I'm going to the show but I'm not a member of FCCUK.

Would I be welcome at the stand?
Maybe I could sign up when i get there?

and is anyone in essex area going we could meet up at thurrock services on the a13 and go from there, but think i be going early i'sh.

so if anyone fancies a convoy, let me know

Hi Paul, of course you will be welcome at the stand and we will be delighted to sign you up there.

Pete

Unfortunately i won't be able to make this my boss has just changed my wage structure and won't get payed for 4 weeks
Looking forward to Stanford hall as its not as far.
Sorry chaps.

Ash

Sorry to hear that Ash.

Might be a daft question but never been there before so when we roll up how will you know if the FCCUK stand is already fully parked up so that we might need to park elsewhere. Probably rolling up at 11am so highly likely. The Brooklands website is stating "Italian cars only parking on Museum site. All other cars follow signs to additional parking in The Heights".
Otherwise I'll just chance my arm and see how close I can get on the day.

In case anyone needs to satnav if the directions / postcode is:

http://www.brooklandsmuseum.com/index.php?/your-visit/how-to-get-here/ off the B374, just a few minutes from Junction 10 of the M25 and the A3 London to Portsmouth trunk road. Leave the A3 at the Painshill junction (A245) and follow the brown ‘Brooklands Museum’ signs.

Brooklands Museum Trust Limited
Brooklands Road, Weybridge,
Surrey KT13 0QN

I am coming from Northampton so is anyone going to be coming down the M1 or around the M25 who fancy a convoy?
