Sorry guys, have to cancel, H35 won't be ready and I'm going to a show in Selkirk instead now. Plan was to pick up the H35 on the way down but that's off so I'll stay 'local' instead.

Sunday is the day. Saturday is for camping and drinking the evening before.

Zone stand, everyone welcome so just make yourself away once I annouce the show passes have arrived. You'll need it to get pass the Santa Pod marshalls and they'll show you were to go. Not sure how we're distributing them yet as it seems no one is interested in getting involved anymore... :(

Last yeat I posted them all out and not even half of the 130 passes I sent came to the show so I wont be wasting my time doing it again :mad:

Usually a fair few head from London too! :) tonybtonyb usually convoys up with a good crowd of lads, although i'm unsure of his exact location, but they usually meet up at 'Mims'? I think...

They'll be more on it the weeks approaching the event.


You'll still need to buy your normal ticket for the show too, the zone pass is just to get you into the zone area once on site.

Not missing anything on the saturday other than a bunch of middle age men camping and drinking :D

The passes, once they touch down with me, i'll put a thread up and if people want one, I will get them out to them but not taking any names or address until a week before the show so that people arent dropping out and not mentioning it...

:D

Check the home pages ladies... Anyone wanting to park with the rest of the zone needs a show pass. Pm your house address and I'll get one sent out to you.

If your unsure if your gonna make it, dont ask for a pass, sort it out once you know for sure if your coming.


I've only got 60 passes this year, i'm 10 down or so as well...

Executive motorhome coont :D

Pete I do believe the passes are to get on the e30 zone stand, however careful placement of a BMW roundle and perhaps a kidney grill will have you on display no questions asked I'm sure :D

I would have thought your blind bought(?), rusty hiace will much nicer than many of the turds on display, even after a night of Ravs tandori induced flatulencs within :P

I don't need your tarp, I have a retractable awning ! :D

Luckily the roof is fibreglass so it won't be rusty :) unlike the bodywork :( which is rusty and not fibreglass, yet ! :)

Could I please ask all attending to desist from placing bread, and
other foodstuffs, on the roof of petes van before retiring for the night.
The resulting noise from our feathered friends beaks and claws at an
ungodly hour of the morning, can be a great source of annoyance.

Another good source of annoyance is to............

The bread will have been washed off by the torrential thunderstorms by the morning, that is if I have not eaten it first :)

Not that there will be any live birds within five miles, Rav will have cooked them all in his unique Rohypnol based Tikka marinade :)

Anyone wanting a show pass, I need you to PM your postal address so I can send them out to you...

You'll still need to pay to get into Pod.


Pete... Your van should be centre display among the rest of the scrap on show :D

Don't you have a tent? :D

There will be a load of people camping there on the saturday night. Cheaper than a B&B.

I'll be bringing some trinkets along, do you need anything in particular?

I do have a tent but I would love a shower after a ride.

And I'm needing some nice condition fogs, with minimal if no road sand blasting as they will be getting laminexed. And a is or Volvo splitter.
