Iwantone Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 When is a good time for pitching up on friday? Is early afternoon "too early", as may be leaving Ayr fairly early I'll be there way earlier than that, Mr. Railgun. I've only got a gentle 40 min drive. Steve Quote
martinmac Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Derek is usually there about 10 am so anytime after that is fine. Quote
TADDY Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 I've got a 10min drive and I won't be there till sat Quote
garetgax Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Martin your typing does make me chuckle [Anything within resin that is].........[he will be [b]pooping[/b] down over the weekend and can sort you out]. You didnt have a part in allo allo did you . Cant wait till Friday. Just got to find a pub in Calverton that has sky sports for Sat afternoon. Quote
martinmac Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 If my spelling is correct then I am probably over the limit. Quote
Buckley Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Can I put my name down too please? I'll come for the Saturday, try and persuade the missis too Trust it's ok to just come and gawp at the cars with a few beers? (make her drive home after!) Quote
martinmac Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 No problem at all mate. There is a band and a bar available and the food should still be around until mid evening. Quote
Buckley Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 sounds good add me and +1 met a few members in Wales but nice to see some others, plus wanna get some photos of other Zeds and inspirations for what to change Quote
Buckley Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 forgot to ask, is it members only or could my mate come too for the day in his S4? is it £10 per car or person? Quote
martinmac Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 No problem bringing your mate, its a social weekend. It £10 per person which goes towards rental of the site, paying for the band etc. Quote

It £10 per person which goes towards rental of the site, paying for the band etc. thanks for clarifying think my mate would like it too, so long as he isnt working that morning! if its a tenner per man then he may as well bring his S4 - wanna see how much faster it is than the Z now hes had it de-limited - public forum so cant talk about the speeds hes claimed to have hit so far (somewhere around the 70mph mark )!!! what sort of thinghs will be being done in the day time, simply a beer and BBQ or are there events on for cars - not sure what to expect really.... thanks Martin, appreciate the replies Quote
martinmac Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 There is a lot of tyre kicking and sitting around chilling to get over friday night. All good fun though and you wont be bored. Its also worth mentioning that the local police will be aware we are around. Quote
Buckley Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Its also worth mentioning that the local police will be aware we are around. thanks for the heads up - we will have a leisurely drive down that morning then only 45mins from Eckington so hopefully nice weather and we can have the roof down Quote

Railgun Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Coming from north of the border, 'leisurely' is a prerequisite! At least it is if I want beer money for the weekend! Quote

Railgun Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Friday morning mate. Off the leash for the weekend, so making the most of all of it! Quote
martinmac Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 I will be leaving Kendal about 1300 if you fancy meeting up. I go the scenic route via A66 and Scotch corner. Quote
Railgun Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Could be cool mate, first time down there and all. I'll find out what time I'm getting away at closer to the big day. Don't wanna hold ya up if I'm 'tasked' before then. Quote
martinmac Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 No probs, just drop me a pm. For info its about 1 1/2 hours from me to Scotch corner and about the same again down to calverton. Quote
rothers2901 Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Just had a trial run at putting up the tent. (Bloody Hell) if you can imagine trying to put up a 4 man tent, on your own, on a concrete drive way, no pegs to hold it down, and blowing a bit of a gale. It was like holding onto a hot air balloon on amphetamine . Had the tent for about 10 years only used it once in that time and think I got it inside out then. So don’t be surprised to find a blithering wreck, pencils up his nose in the corner of the field sometime Friday evening . Quote
Railgun Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 I'm bringing a pop up tent pal. Best thing I've bought for ages. I'll give Ye a hand with it, though I'm not entirely certain how useful my input will be. Quote
rothers2901 Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 We can always share a few bottles, look at the tent and hope some kind soul will take petty Quote
Lincolnbaggie Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 It'll be fine Rothers - a few jars first then we'll all have a bash. Have it up in no time (though God knows what it'll look like) (Just read that back and it sounds so wrong somehow). Quote
