Anyone fancy club t-shirts for this event ?

Hi, I'm not displaying, my car is a paper weight at the moment, however I will be coming to visit, am I allowed one? If so I'm a medium and can pay you how every is best. 5 - 6 pound is VERY cheap compared to what other clubs charge for tshirts, I'm happy to pay for the printing.

[lgreen5]

Im trying to move some dates around so i can come to this. I would be tempted to come friday night and leave end of sat day. Is it possible getting in and out during the show?, i guess it could be a bit of a nightmare?

Cheers

Lewis

[Master-B]

They dont let you move cars around the site between 1030 and 4 if memory serves

[Master-B]

Apart from that its pretty easy to get off site at the end of the day

[lgreen5]

Are that's good to know. I will try and sort some dates out and fingers crossed I will be there. Thanks for the info.

Cheers

Lewis

Off course you can have a shirt Rick, I will order the polo shirts when I know exactly how many people want one. My son Mike has done a really nice design for the back and I will put names on the front left and MR2 MK1 club on the right. You don't nedd to pay any extra for printing I do it as a hobby and just like to help out. It also looks really professional when everyone is in the same shirt :-)

Kris do you and Ali want a polo shirt?

Hi Tommy, its not really our thing mate, but will take one for the team.

[coverco]

It's OK Kris if you don't want one it is fine. I could always put an Everton badge on yours instead then after the show you could use it as a duster :-)

After that shocking performance by Barnsley on Friday I will not be putting a Barnsley badge on mine :-(

[Master-B]

Oi! We're going to win the cup!

[coverco]

I hope you do mate.

[tommundy]

I think it's browser dependant Tommy. There will be some major maintenance going on in the background soon; more will be revealed in time.

Keep hold of it so I can get in free as a foot passenger ;)
They'll never know I don't have a car on the stand muhahahahahahahaha!!

[Master-B]

Wooooooo its May! One month to go!

Bill - told you I'd rustle up a campervan from somewhere. Meet Big Vern:

[coverco]

So you must be Shaggy and Alison would be Daphne then .........

I am sure we can find you a quiet corner of the field to park it up :-)

[Master-B]

Oi! I may be cowardly & love a giant sandwich or two, but I'm not THAT scruffy!

With the right paintjob the van has some serious potential that I'll probably never get round to realising:

Might I suggest camouflage :-)

[Master-B]

Arf!

[tommundy]

Are you doing the bacon sarnies then Kris? :D

PS: I'm super jealous!

[tommundy]

Oh, I'll be knocking up something nice on the Friday or Saturday night as part of my year long cooking challenge! :D I'll put up some info about that later too!

[coverco]

You will need to do something special to beat Gary (mk1dal). Last year he made a proper curry with rice and nan bread, it smelled and looked lovely :-)

I would love to knock up something nice, but don't tell the wife .....

Ive just driven him down the motorway for the first time, performance is clearly not the datsun A15 engines greatest strength... 55mph FTW!

[coverco]

Do you want one for Joe Anthony?

[Gilles27]

Do you want one for Joe Anthony?
Not sure he'd wear it? Although if Mike is wearing his he probably will. Can he have the same size as Mike please? Thanks!

[coverco]

Mike will be wearing his, he takes a small adult. Joe is the correct spelling?

[Gilles27]

Yes it is and that sounds like the right size too. Cheers!

[julianw]

Hi Tommy
Sorry for the late reply - can you do me a Medium if you've yet to print? I'll pay you at the show.
Thanks
Julian

[coverco]

Thanks
Julian
I ordered the polo shirts today, I am at home now and can't remember if I have a spare medium. I will check tomorrow and let you know. The printing is no problem but I don't have stock shirts as I only do this for fun, to order 1 shirt would cost more in carriage than the shirt :-)

[Lauren]

Hi all, as per usual, Mark, Indy and I will be attending Tatton Park as part of the TPCC in the AE86 of course. I remember last year there was a member that brought a fire pit with them. Just wanted to ask if said fire pit will be making an appearance as I think it really helped keep us warm through the night!

I will be arriving on Friday evening, I look forward to seeing you all there. :)

[coverco]

I thought it was one of your group who brought the firepit but now I think about it it might have been Julian. He was in a camper van, unfortunately there is no way to fit one in a MK1 otherwise I would get one as it was brilliant.

See you Friday evening Lauren :-)

Hi yes it was Julian, he is bring it again.
see you friday.
Bill

[Lauren]

Don't panic, Tommy! Mark has just told me that Stacks have an offer on a fire pit, so we'll buy one. If anyone has wood to burn and can squeeze it in bring it along. To be fair Tatton isn't normally that short of wood, so there may well be the usual covert hunter/gatherer, (with the emphasis on gathering) exercise! ;)

[coverco]

Exercise Lauren !!!

Mike and Joe (Anthonys son) will be there, 15 year olds have to be good for something :-)

I have a huge tent this year so have not even got room for food and beer, will have to go shopping Friday afternoon, where is the nearest Tesco/ Asda?

[Gilles27]

Really looking forward to this weekend!! :)

[coverco]

Waitrose and Sainsburys Anthony???? We don't have posh shops in Barnsley :-)

Looks like Tesco then Tom, I am just printing the t-shirts and am also really looking forward to this weekend.

[Gilles27]

Waitrose and Sainsburys Anthony???? We don't have posh shops in Barnsley :-)
When in Cheshire...

[coverco]

Just to say I have done a t-shirt for Julian, I had ordered some spares :-)

[julianw]

You're a gem. Thanks Tommy. And yes, the firepit will be on board. I may try to find a disposable gazebo to put over us and it/set fire to it with!
@Bill - I'm just going looking for the extra table you asked for. Hope to be arriving about the same time as you tomorrow, to bag the pitches.

[coverco]

No problem Julian, just packed my car.... What a nightmare but got it all in in the end.
No food or drink but will sort that when I get the tent up, getting excited now :-)

PS polo shirts cost £6 delivered, free printing. They look great.

[Master-B]

Ive got a capacious 3 way camping fridge in the van, but no spare gas bottle/regulator/hose to run it. I wont be able to run it on 12v as the battery will be drained in a matter of hours and the last time I checked 240v sockets still dont grow on trees. Its potentially the perfect solution for cold beer glory for us all on the stand so if anyone has spares knocking about please bring them along!

[mk1 dal]

hi all it looks like i jinked the whether for Saturday night ( if they ever get it right ) opps , but there is always the the massive beer tent to go to for a good party ( take are own beers ) and party on if its pi**ing down in the dry .

just finished work and cant wait for this weekend , top weekend rain or shine ,see you campers Friday .

Even if I had a gas bottle there is no way it would fit in the MR2 Kris :-)

Weather is rubbish in Barnsley what is it like over the hill?

True! Packing the car is very difficult. Starting to wish I'd joined the Vauxhall Zafira Owners Club!! :o

[Master-B]

Starting to wish I'd joined the Vauxhall Zafira Owners Club!! :o

Good grief, you clearly have never driven one!

[Gilles27]

Good grief, you clearly have never driven one!
I wish that were true! Having 4 kids and a limited budget meant I spent bloody years driving one. I have 3 siblings, but it was easier for my parents as we didn't have to bother with seatbelts so we would just pile up in the back seat or we could sit in the boot of our Escort Estate!

Urgh. Grim. Honestly, Kia Carens offer a better driving experience than Zafiras!

Ha ha that takes me back. My old man used to squeeze 3 of us plus a cat a dog & all manner of household chod in the back of a very beige, very dented Lada Riva Estate.

[coverco]

You young whipper snappers. I remember my two brothers and I fitting in the little luggage compartment behind the rear seat of a Volkswagon Beetle. Also all three of us could sleep in the back of an Austin 1300 estate (although it was not like a modern estate) :-)

[first-footer]

Hi,
I have just been called into work and am not home till early hours Saturday morning.
Whats the latest you can get your car into the show ?

Thanks.
Ian

[Master-B]

I think its 10am, but best to check on the ticket small print :-)

[tommundy]

Woo, only an hour or so left at work and then it's back home to pack the car! Then shopping! Then drive over to Tatton! Then... beeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!!!!!

I've got a list of 78 items to either pack or buy! :D

[coverco]

What a great weekend, rubbish weather but fantastic company. It really is the best show in the calendar.

I know I have already thanked Julian but I will again, inviting all of us for dinner and drinks in his camper van turned a miserable day into a great day, cheers mate :thumbup:

[tommundy]

Got back a bit ago and now showered!

So many things to mention that were high points this weekend! I'll post more extensively with pictures tomorrow as I'm just off to Tom's for a BBQ!! :D

A great weekend with good friends, food, drink and laughs.

[Master-B]

^^What they said^^

A great weekend & a fitting way for Bill to sign off as LAO.

[Gilles27]

A great weekend & a fitting way for Bill to sign off as LAO.
What did he think of his "pimped" ride?

[coverco]

His car was OK it was the scooter that was genius. Kids windmills and a parrot clock added about 10 BHP to it :-)

I am sure there will be some pictures unfortunately neither Mike or I took any.

[tommundy]

I've got some pictures and am uploading a video too; it was genius! :D

[coverco]

OMG not video Tom, I am now very worried. I have also had a read of your blog and it is really great, I will be stealing some of those recipes, chicken kiev is the first on the to do list :-)

[mk1 dal]

hi, Andy and i had a brilliant weekend it was a great laugh ( i did a great face plant over 2 guide ropes early Monday morning ,slightly drunk :grin:) bill pimped scooter was top and had a lot of attention on the stand :lol: . i didn't take one single pic of any car this tatton , to much going on and i forgot . but i did get pics of the night life and it was fantastic fun .

[Master-B]

Nice pics mate, I think this sums up the weekend very well. It was so wet we hardly left the campsite or the gazebo on the stand! Is that 1st photo in "gary vision" ha ha!

[minim5934]

Very proud of myself for not throwing up this year :D can't wait for August, let's hope our new organiser, whoever that may be, will do a great job just like Bill. We'll have to wait and see!
Loving the cheesy smiles from my dad, you can tell he's been on the liquor.

Mike

[coverco]

Great pictures Gary, I fell over the guy lines as well after telling you to watch out for those guy lines..... :-)

[Rick McRick]

Looks like you had a great time guys.
I did make it along but didn't get chance to see everyone, with the rain and having to keep the girlfriend occupied I didn't get to spend as much time as the show as I would have liked.

[Master-B]

And there I was thinking you didnt love me anymore Rick

[coverco]

Rick was on the stand first thing in the morning Kris, you were still inside big Vern :-)

Hope you liked the t-shirt Rick, you should stop over in August it is great fun.

[Rick McRick]

Yeah Kirs, I came by a couple of times but missed out. I did get a look at your car though, looking very good.

And yeah, I love the t-shirt loads, absolutely brilliant, I'll be wearing it to all the meets!

The stand was looking great too guys, and Bill was telling me how much he loved what you did to his car :)

[Master-B]

Cheers mate, it generated a lot of positive feedback and credit is due to tommy and mike who helped to realise 'the dream' . You should have stopped by big vern for a brew! Funny you should mention meets... we are due one this sunday... nothing on the board after bills retirement. I am going to garys this weekend for a headliner swap so we could have a technical based effort in buxton if I can confirm exactly when with him. Julian was up for this the other day aswell if he is free.

Great photos Bill, even though it was a bit miserable we still had a great time :-)

[julianw]

From the photos, no one who wasn't there is going to believe us that it peed down most of the time! Can't thank everyone enough for this last weekend. Great company. Great food. Great memories. I am indebted to Bill for having got it all going in the first place. No matter how many events I attend in the future, this one will go down as truly special. The grin I brought away from it will last for weeks!

4:15am? Was that the time? Honestly though, I do have a long history of nocturnal activity - no apologies necessary! Anyway Tom, I know what you chefs are like - you start work at 4pm and don't start your socialising till 11pm! I'll consider it an honour to turn the camper kitchen over to you again in the future. Top food!

[tommundy]

Great pictures Bill and Gary. I love the 'gary vision' comment!

What a top weekend! It was great having so many Mk1'ers camping. Lots of laughs, lots of rain and lots of Bob's contributions too, lol.

A big thank you again to Julian. It really did turn Sunday night around into a great evening!

Some pictures I got of other car stands:

Roll on August! Here's hoping Bill will be in attendance!

Cheers,
Tom
