Cars in the park 20th April

go to this event every year, fantastic location at the bolton abbey harrogate, fantastic driving roads on the way, and a great turn out of fantastic people who put there pride & joy on show,

shame we cant get a group of coupes toegther and go its a great day out

http://www.carsinthepark.org.uk/

Can you tell us anymore about that event Paul I had a poke around that site but didn't learn much

why can't we take a bunch of coops up there

I was thinking of arranging a coupe meet at Bolton abbey this year anyway (and still will do if this comes to nothing) One of my favourite places Would be a geat place for a coop meet for those who are not out and out petrol heads. river walks, cafes, ruined abbey, stepping stones, steam train, and a short drive to Skipton. a lovely market town with some great pubs and of course the canals and narrow boats

thing is past few year when we have being, before hand its said you need to put your name down etc, but thats just mainly for the tvr club that goes and the lambo club etc as there lots of them, the space is large, when you turn up theres a very lot of space massive so would be no problem parking together anyway, you can still contact them on the site, couldnt see there being a problem tbh, its like £5 to park and you park with everyone anyway

hope that helps

Chris - how about we both try and get this organised for the Forum this year? I bit short notice but I'm sure we could get something sorted for people?

Sounds interesting.

James

agreed would be a good day, sorry should have posted earlier really, but there shudnt be a problem us all going, just getting people to go

Well id love to go and put the motors on show-plus it wud give me a good excuse to have a spring clean and polish

^^^ Didn't take you long to change your sig line!

I'd be a definite.

James

MABR-well if you've got it, flaunt it!

I'm pleased for you mate - the look of relief on your face was priceless.

Anyway back on topic; I've PM'd C2D so let's see what happens.

Sounds good to me

Thats not the easiest site in the worl to interrogate or navigate but if you look at the attendees you will find came2dance 10 cars I didn't mean to do that but once you've pressed the button

Anyway i've emailed the organiser geezer asking him how we go about regisetering a numvber of cars, what goes on there etc

Cars in the Park looks good to me too. I'll find out how it fits into my very busy schedule and see if I can make it, love a good car show!

Gareth

OK this sounds like a great meet. As I've posted before this is one of my fave places and I always thought it had great potential for a coop meet

These guy's take that idea and do it on a bigger scale What Chris does is reserves parking for 300 to 400 cars and organises the event through his web site. The only fee is the usual 5 quid entry fee that Bolton Abbey charge.

I registered on the site and put us down for 10 cars (but that can always be changed) At the moment there are a few Lotus Elises and exiges registered, Grinnal Scorpions, various TVR's and a Skyline.

Here's a vid of the last time it was held at Bolton Abbey (cars in the park 2006)
sh!t just listen to those engine notes

I just hope it's a bit drier.

anyone interested

ooh maybe, yeah

put me down as a definate please boys, should have my new wheels then!

Hmm - may have to do some horse trading over this. If I can't make the 5th then I'll be a deffo for this

Definitely.

James

im a definate

not to mention all the gallardo's etc that was there last year

Me too.

more than ten can go really...........

of course, there is room enough for all of us I justthought i'd better register our interest and put us down for 10. (you never know what interest you're gonna get)

Numbers wont be a problem

BUMP - now the Lakes Meet is over i thought I'd bring this one up again



Those expressing interest up to now:

MABR

Paul26982 (I can guess your birthday )
MattM
MattW (if my turbos working :D)
Yellow20vtbmx
G_Man

Can you update the list by confirming your interest?

Anyone else interested?

HERE'S a link to their site.

Should be a good meet. Fantastic location and a bit of exotica about too. Great place for anyone bringing wives and kids too as acres and acres of countryside, woods, rivers, canals, and nearby Skipton.


Get yer names down then

Oh I really shouldnt....... but I might

Fixed my turbo so that's not an issue. Latest issue is windscreen leaking buggered my electrics...

will be great to get a good fleet of coops there, like i said go every year will probs get some good feedback for us coop owners too off others, what you mean i can guess your birthday?

26982 that your birthday

BALLS, I think I already have something arranged for 20th. I'll check and then.. more to the point.. see if I can cancel it, cos I like the look of this

yeah, its my birthday, just every forum has the name paul taken

Do they allow dogs - the 4 legged variety?

@ MattM - congrats on getting the turbo sorted.

Cheers craig, see you at Bolton Abbey. Should be a good day

yeah seen dogs there before, some great walks too, when you look over the stream, theres a tight turn then you go up a steap bank, always see a convoy of tvrs etc going up there, but never found out how to get up

ok, 2 coupe meets in a month, provisional yes, only if i can get my bodywork sorted by then however

Has anybody organised a Coupé area for this? I could be interested in coming along and if we could get our own little spot it might be worth getting hold of the club banner.

we will have our own little spot, always pleny of room

I'm a definate for this - what's the score for registration I've been on the website and notice that YBMX is down but no one else - do we do it on an individual basis..... My mate in his TT may want to tag along - yes I know the Teutonic predictability will water down the Italian style and flare but he can be tucked away in the corner

what time we meeting?

I've been in touch with the guy that organises it and registered as came2dance for 10 cars (subject to variation - lets make it more) dogs are allowed as are children, but remember it will be busy and noisy in the alloted meet area, what with people revving up lambo's and what have you

The parking is just acres of grass parking but a BIG area has been set aside for the car meet. The organiser likes to mix the cars up i believe but if we all turn up at once we should be able to park together.

I'll ask him about a reserved space as we have a club banner

Lets have a proper list of definates. Copy and past and add to the list:

Definate Came2Dance (Mr and Mrs - and probably dog too!)

I'm an almost definite, just need to fix my electrics!

im a definate plus mrs and sprog

I'm fine for this as well

How's about everyone meeting at Skipton where the A59, A629 and A65 meet There's a McD's or KFC there at the roundabout then we can all go in convoy to BA. Anyone any idea on time?

oh kfc, that has tempted me, popcorn chicken mmmm

10 oclock?

fine by me what everyone else think

Yeah that all sounds fine to me. What time does it start, and do we have to be there early to get our slot all together?

no not really early, more people there around dinner time ish, will be bit better as a few coop owners going too, make a better day of it

Hey I'm working on this guys.

I have emailed the organiser and he will group cars together if we want. I have registered already for 10 cars (it's on page 8 of the lists if you are looking) but I have emailed him and told him we will be arriving in convoy. There's loads of room so it won't matter if we have more than 10 I've also asked him what time it starts.

The Maccies is only about 15 minutes away and it would probably be more liike half ten before i get there. (tho you can get there as early as you like and fill up on bacon macmufins Will post more info when I have it.

Typical, he just emailed me as I was typing this

He gets there at 10:00 and most cars arrive by 12:00. The meet goes on untill about 3:00, but you can of course leave whenever you like (earlier or later).

I'll try my best to get there for 10:00 then

I'm off for a poke about the site now. Will post again with more info shortly

great, would be class if we all got toether and arrived in convoy, would be some great pics for the site too

Ok - if the guy gets there for 1000 hrs how about meeting at the roundabout for c1030hrs, take a few pics etc then getting there for 1130

if i can put my car backtogever by then. ill be there! its a easy drive for me

Right then lets meet 10:00 to 10:30 ish at the Macdonalds HERE


My route will be M6 north J24 to J31 Join A59 Stay on A59 through Samlesbury and Gisburn and on to Skipton and Bolton Abbey. Will be about an hour to the meeting place if anyone fancies tagging along

You need to go to THIS site and download the CITP sign and put it in your window. Follow the link and then click the CITP link in the column on your left. I will print some off with the FCCUK logo on too and bring them with me. If you want I’ll add your forum name so everyone knows whose car it is (let me know if you want this)

It will cost you five pounds to park. (We will probably stay there all day but the fiver does allow access to three different car parks).

As for the meet – for those of you that have never been to Bolton Abbey it takes place on grassland adjoining the river. Acres of space with plenty facilities. Once we’re parked up if you imagine the road going down to the river and forming a T junction with it, you could turn left and there is a café and restaurant, gift shop and toilets about half a mile away.(if you keep going there are miles of riverside wooded walks to the ‘Strid’ a mad place where the river has carved it’s way through rock). If you turn right there is an amazing ruined abbey about half a mile away, and if you go back up the road about half a mile there is a nice old tea rooms and café that does nice food

Dogs and children are allowed and a lot of visitors bring footballs, canoes, dinghies, tennis sets, barbeques, etc.

There are a couple of speed bumps and on the exit those metal plates that go down as you drive over them. no problem at all to a std coop and the Lambos and porches seem to manage

That’s about it.

It will cost you five pounds to park. (We will probably stay there all day but the fiver does allow access to three different car parks).

C2D sounds good to me - thanks for organising the links and I don't mind my forum name being used.

is there a post code for the macdonalds so i can do a route finder

I cant find the maccies on any business locators at all, but I think it's THIS roundabout. Anyone confirm? (Skipton Golf Club is nearby and the postcode for that is BD23 3LF )

I think it's a Travel lodge and Burger King. That might be why See Here BD23 1UD

Chris - fancy a mini convoy?

Convoy No 1 then C2D and MABR

When I said Id do this:
I meant I'd do

THIS - add FCCUK and your Forum name to the pass that we have to display. As I said let me know if you want one and I'll bring it with me

Just been looking at the attendance list and up to now we got, 1 x 1972 TR6, 12 x MR2's, Various TVR's - chimera, Tuscan Griffith, Tamora, Cerbera & Taimar. 1 x 106 Rallye (with large track spec) (we could try and get Pinin to come with his) 1 x Aston Martin Vantage, 20 x VX220's (common as muck) 20 various from the RS owners club. A sprinkling of Grinnall Scorpions and on his own at the end Yellow BMX Hope some more exotica turns up but that doesn't sound too bad for starters

Chris, that looks - I'll have one please.

me too please chris

I'd like to come to this too! I've added my name to the list

I'm looking very doubtful for this now as it appears I've already double-booked this weekend without even considering this. Sorry guys.

Hey that's tough - I was sooo looking forward to seeing the club banner Is this similar to a regimental flag with victories/engagments recorded over other cars

Cars in the Park Sunday 20th April 2008 - Bolton Abbey

It will cost you five pounds to park. (We will probably stay there all day but the fiver does allow access to three different car parks).

Well other than the banner , oh and Brewster, not coming this is looking good

You need to download THIS and display it in your window, but i'll bring some with me to the meet. With your name on too if you let me know.

You are supposed to read the meet rules so I've posted them below:

1) The Abbey is a quiet place so sound levels need to be kept to a reasonable level. Other car parks will be open to normal visitors and will be quick to complain. So stereo's must be kept low. Anyone too loud will be asked to turn it down. If it continues they will be asked to leave.

2) The exit gate has a metal spring thing on the way out. It's meant to stop cars coming in through the exit gate when closed. It's not bad just makes a noise when you go over it. I have a few notes from people about a suggested alternative whilst it is not approved of by me or Bolton Abbey. People have been known to exit using the in gate. Care must be taken if you accidentally take the wrong lane as cars may be coming in. Might be a good idea if you have a lowered car

3) Once inside the venue speed limits must be adhered to. There are sheep and ducks as well as kids running around. There is one speed bump, but you can straddle it. Just go slow!!!!

4) Speeding inside the car park kicks up a lot of dust if it's dry and sunny (Fingers crossed). You will be lynched as people have taken hours polishing there cars

5) BBQ's are allowed but tin ones must be put on stones as it damages the grass (Takes a few years to recover). There are lots of stones near the river but please return them when finished.

_________________________________

It has been raining a lot lateley and the meet is on grassland adjoining a river so sensible footwear might be in order. you might want to pack a waterproof jacket too, just in case.

Oh, and don't forget to wash behind your ears

How about M6, Junction 23 as a start point again Chris?

Where do you come from Craig? Heading for J23 adds about 15 minutes to the trip as you can cross the lancs at haydock and join the M6 Northbound at Ashton. (cutting out a big dog leg of East Lancs and 1 Mway junction) How about metting at what was Birkhills Café at car mill if you know it, or the Waterside pub/hotel oppsite. Say 9:00

Phew at last - I've tried to post this reply half a dozen times and the forum keeps goofing up on me Just like it used to KJ

Junction 24 IS easier for both of us but I wasn't sure if anyone else was travelling northbound and wanted to meet up too?

If not, then Carr Mill Cafe's fine for us - blimey I can even remember having a brekkie in there back in the day!

hows the weather looking? im so lazy and my connection soooo slow, sorry guys

Lazy

Heavy cloud no rain is what it says at the moment

I might have to pull out due to back injury

ive got some windowlean............glassback

tch cant let a back injury stop you. Car meets are good for bad backs. We'll even let you off wit hpolishing. (though you could get your mum to do it)

cmon matt your only early 20's

doesnt feel like it!

either way,get well soon mate

so, whats the final word regarding meeting up and going in convoy.
I likes were we mett up last time, easy to get to. A nice re-fuling point for the thursty coupes and then its quick to get back on the motorway

bigtop says yes now so can we have a banner for the car aswell please

I'm doing it right now boss

we will be travelling via the m66 onto the m65 so we will have to meet in skipton is it macdonalds or burgerking?

Dunno It's not IN Skipton it's on the A59 just about where Skipton is. I'm sure it's a BK but I've been wrong before Should be a few coops knocking about looking lost though

Good do today even though the weather was crap. Nice to put a few more faces to names, got a few pics here that my girlfriend took;

Looking forward to getting another meet organised soon!

Thanks for the pics and good to see some old/new faces. Blimey it was chilly - said cheerio to MABR and I thought he was suffering from hypothermia as his lips were blue - not that I make a habit of gazing at other blokes lips you understand Interesting time with WYP police finest getting pulled for undermining his authority on the road

A good show - decent weather would have made it excellent.

Nice to meet some new faces as well as old friends. Nice selection of cars and even Steve from AA put in an appearance with his yellow Ferrari.

Beautiful surroundings and hopefully the next one will be blessed with better weather - this time last year the temps were in the mid 60's.

Thanks to Matt for the DV and Chris for the car signs, directions and general shepherding.

@ Busa1300 - Kev, your coop coming around that right hander to catch up with us looked - made me realise why I love the coops so much.

Thanks again everyone.

Good to meet everyone today. Bit blumming cold hey

Check THIS out. Bigtop has broke down on the way home. Post on that thread if you have any ideas

Will post some pics n stuff of the meet later

Don't worry about it mate, it's just a consequence of taking beta - blockers. Ross nearly sh1t himself the first time it happened.

nice to see all your coops there, was upset about the scotts green being there, rubed salt in the wounds, gutted couldnt take mine, was a excellent turn out

Sorry mate I missed you - I've just pm'd you

got some pics but laptop being a retard and shit at uploading

mine are uploading as we speak, got home safe and sound, coupe didn't miss a beat. pleasure to drive as always
good to meet every one. Thanks for the orginising came to dance. Nice to meet you in person!

thankyou mate!! allways nice when other coopsters think so!

yours is bloody quick tho!!!

my car or the meet?

Well all in all it was a good meet. Good to meet everyone. Great venue and a good turnout Shame about the weather My pics are uploading as i type so will hopefully include them at the end

I didn't get to chat much as everyone dissapeared! We took out dog for a walk and had a coffee and a sausage roll at the cafe with Samspeed (he ate all the pasties )and as we walked back everyone was leaving was blooming cold though so I can't blame them!

Paul good to meet you -
don't be shy in future. You would have sold half your coop bits had peeps known who you were
Your barge looks fine too, although at the meet I though yours was the red convertible I was thinking "why's he missing the coop when he's got that" wondered how you fit your missus and little one in there

Eldinho, was you there According to the left over CITP signs Jap, Beany and Phil 20VT didn't make it. But according to the posts Beany and Phil were there don't know if i met you guy's, sorry.

Bigtop glad you got your problem sorted. Bit of a bummer that - being talked into coming, then it's freezing, and you break down on the way home all character forming

My pics are still uploading - blOOdy slow his photobucket re-sizer will post them up shortly

thanks for the stickers chris, really liked your engine bay, look forward to the pics

Oi - steady on Chris - I was very young in the 80's.

Phil was arriving just as we were leaving and I was trying to keep up with a Noble, a Ferrari and a TVR!

well we enjoyed the day out saw some nice cars there.
bit of paranoia before thinking i was gunna have to pay out loads on my car already, but turned out ok and it seems to be running better now(maybe just imagining it)definately seems quicker.also the rescue man said it wasnt a standard dump valve,so who knows what else there is to find out!
was cold today tho,roll on summer!

Thanks for doing the signs Chris, and thanks for the coffee Craig, I owe you one

Good to see some familiar faces, and some new ones.

What a waste of time it was trying to clean my car, it got covered in mud by a tractor as soon as I left.

Tractors have been conspiring againt me today

i spent a couple of hours cleaning mine up yesterday, polished inside and out. Then drove to the car park where we met, parked under a tree-10 minutes later a bird has shat on my bonnet........... i wont be inviting her out again

As said before - nice to meet everyone. I think we should do this venue again when it's a bit warmer

Really nice photos again Chris - the ones of mine will form my screensaver once I get into work.

both mate

C2D I wasn't there this time, had quite a hectic weekend, but want to have a few summer meets if poss!

Be good to have you "back in the fold" Mark - complete with an even meaner beast!

Cheers Mate, its always good to see a load of coupes together!!

I'll try and post my photos when I get home tonight

Yep, I think I may have spoken to you on the way into the car park, did you have a dog with you and were walking out as I pulled in and we spoke through the window?

Yes that was me and yes I was with the wife

The Coupes also feature on the Cars in Park web Site quite a bit (and so do I in the background on the left!!)
