[gazm3]

Any news Andy?.

[325eye]

Modified yes, councilled up, no.

lol

[Andyboy]

Alright Murph.

I rang them today, apparently they have been sent out twice and lost twice
They are sending another load today, but if they get lost again we can still get in as they have a record of me paying for them.

[DaveD]

so what time to get there?

[gazm3]

Dave & Matt are you meeting anywhere over there in tyke country prior to running south.
I was thinking about coming over the tops, checking out the gateway to yorkshire before they are blown up!.

[Andyboy]

Get there for 8.30-9.00. I'm not 'keeping shtum' - there are still four days to go and I am rather busy.

Still no sign of these bastard tickets so if you would all PM me I will give you my number. Ta!

[Kedge]

Hi mate, i'm free is there's space for 1 more!? Would be in the iS if that's ok?

[DaveD]

8.15-8.20 just through junction 30 seems the best

[bry]

Is amyone planning on meeting up prior and going into the event in convoy?

[Andyboy]

The tickets have landed!

I have 16 in total so plenty to go round. The venue opens at 7.00..........yeah, f*ck that. I will be there at 8.30 so would like to get everyone in by 9.00 in time for a cuppa and a dog burger. Having said that, there is a McDonalds about 2 miles away at the bottom of the A614 at Ollerton.
There may be another Baur arriving which will make 10 E30's.

[Andyboy]

We could meet at McDonalds which is on this map:

http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x ... &ay=368055

It's situated between the A614 (south) and the small Newark Rd. If we aim to be there at 8.30 sharp we can get some brekky before going the 2 miles up the road. Up to you.

Thoresby Hall is on the A614 North (Blythe Rd) near Perlethorpe.

[The_Diddler]

I,m up for a bit of a maccies breakfast

For those of you who have meet me, you'll realise that if i dont have a good breakfast i'll literally waste away, i'm that waff like

ill be up for a spot of brekkie too, it is the most important meal of the day after all

[bry]

I thought it was the law if up before 1030 on a bank holiday that you had to go to McD's for brekkie

Good point, dont want any trouble from the rossers do we!!!!!

If i get two double sausage and egg mcmuffins i should be safe!!

[gazm3]

Im up for a Polish breakfast

See you all then

[Andyboy]

Gotta go for the Big Breakfast meal - the bread roll, burger, chunk or scambled egg, greasy hash brown and McDonalds coffee which is probably the best in the world. Well, it's Kenco which is the best coffee in the world. None of your Nescafe Gold Bland nonsense.

See you fine people there.

[maxfield]

I might be able to make it. I'm struggling a bit though recently.

[DaveD]

8 am..(i know its before g-d but Andyboys wishes are our command ) just through junction 30 for the run through to McD's for breakfast

[Kedge]

Okay - join us at the Ollerton MdDonalds at 8.30 where you can purchase a ticket from me.

The Sheffield Cooling towers were blown up this morning at 3.02am. I was there to see it - very sad to see such a great landmark go. You won't need the M1 anyway that far North, M18 is fine to get onto the A1.

[mattsbmw]

See you at 8:30

Looking forward to this

[Andyboy]

Well, outstanding work today Lads. Everyone arrived on time, we had a very impressive 15 cars and both the weather and the show itself were very good. Lots of very nice cars - 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood, some mindblowing Mark 1 'Scorts, a pair of MG Montegos, a 308GTB and.....


"F*CK ME!! A '69 AUSTIN MAXI!!

Thanks again Chaps. Let's do it again next year.

P.S...Did anyone take any pics?

[mattsbmw]

Yes, a great show it was.

Think i have a few pics will look at posting them later

[The_Diddler]

"F*CK ME!! A '69 AUSTIN MAXI!!

Has to be the quote of the day, plus you could hear Andy say it over the sounds of the bloke on the tannoy system as well!!!!!!!

Great day, great people, and great cars!!!!!

Cheers Andy

[essfourteen]

Well done Andy - cracking turnout of nice cars.. and what a lovely show. Thats the first time I have been there and I was very impressed.

Hopefully - if no one minds, I could bring the full bag of mashings next year and we could easily win the best stand.

Nell enjoyed it too - she thought getting wet in the river with Oscar was the best bit!

Cheers Andy

it was the way he apologised for his langauge that got me, almost as if to say "im sorry for my dreadfull language but it IS an austin maxi after all"

im still laughing my ar$e off now.

was a fantastic day, lots of cars, lots of piss taking and lots of fun. good job Andy

[DaveD]

Thanks again Andy a really good day out,,,,just put some pics in the photo section....and I hope gazza got home Mat..with no seats in his car!

[beardymat]

after spending a little time round gareths M3 he was lucky to go home with it at all, i have to confess to having thoughts of M3 ownership, always thought the left hand drive thing would put me off but after driving a few left hookers it doesnt take much getting used to. ill probably get over it,we`ll see.
