[Master-B]

Thanks for putting this one up Bill.

Very much looking forward to seeing what it is all about. The racing on saturday & opportunity to go around the paddock and drive the track on sunday really appeal.

Camping is £10 per person regardless of what you are camping in. We've got the van so will give it a go.

[Master-B]

Hello Bill, can you add Julian to the list, thanks mate

[coverco]

Put me down for this (and Mike), Kris did PM me about this but said we were not camping. Camping with a few beers is much more appealing :-)

[Master-B]

I never said anything of the sort (or at least not intentionally, was referring to TPCC not camping) I always planned to camp, after forking out for that flippin van! I did wonder why you had said no given your affection for beer!

[coverco]

Steady on mate, your PM says arn't planning on camping (direct quote). You know I love a night under canvas with large amounts of alcohol :-)

Anyway it will be good to see Vern again....

[Master-B]

Yeah I meant the TPCC werent camping

[coverco]

Yeah I meant the TPCC werent camping

Well they are a bunch of wusses, most of them sneaked off early at Tatton, unlike the mighty MK1 club who stuck it out. Sorry for the crossed wires but let's get another great event started :-)

[Master-B]

Too right whats a bit of rain anyway?

[coverco]

Rain is no problem for us, especially when Julian invites us into his massive camper.....

[mk1 dal]

hi, use to the rain and cold in buxton , looking forward to this one should be fun . going of topic ,i now have the info on the mr2 smashed up near tatton . my mate up the road who saw the crash said it was a mk1 gun metal grey and it was smashed to pieces ,head lights in the road , front end destroyed , both bumpers off , drivers side wheels snapped off and all panels bent .it was a big accident , i hope the driver was alright .

[coverco]

Were they going to Tatton Gary or just out for a drive. Gunmetal grey cars are pretty rare so it is a shame to lose one :-(

[mk1 dal]

hi mate , we don't know , but it wasn't crashed on the cat n fiddle as was originally said but near tatton ,so there's a good chance that's where it was going .

[bill hulme]

Is there anyone wanting to camp After 10am on FRIDAY so there ready for Saturday.
Bill.

[coverco]

I will do Friday if it is possible Bill are we having a club stand?

[julianw]

Put me down to arrive Friday evening, assuming I can't sneak away from work any earlier. I'll bung the gazebo, banners and flags in anyway shall I? Only logistical problem (again) is how to get both the camper H471TJX AND G644YLD on site on the Friday! Anyone got one of those home diy cloning kits? :) (You will have to help me kill the clone if it turns out evil though)

Julian

[coverco]

Can't help with the cloning Julian but if you need a lift home to get either of your vehicles I can help with that :-)

Not sure what time we will get there on the Friday but we will be there.

[Rick McRick]

Any idea what the prices are for visitors?

I can't commit to turning up at the moment, but out of interest?

[Master-B]

£13

[Rick McRick]

Ta.

Also I googled the wrong location for the park, it's actually quite near to where the girlfriend lives so much better chance of my popping in to say hi now.

[Master-B]

You might as well put your car details in, it'll save you £26 if you do decide to come along

[Rick McRick]

As in, just pass them on to Billy Billson?

[Master-B]

The one and the same!

[julianw]

Can't help with the cloning Julian but if you need a lift home to get either of your vehicles I can help with that :-)

Not sure what time we will get there on the Friday but we will be there.

Thanks Tommy. Will arrange with you nearer the date

[Rick McRick]

Bill - As per Kirs's reply above, if there are any tickets going spare you can pass one my way, but not as the expense of anyone else given that I still have to talk to GF into it (or ditch her for the weekend).

[bill hulme]

I will see what I can do rick.
Bill.

[coverco]

Tickets arrived today Bill, thanks. Although if this weather doesn't change I might have to try and find a hotel :-(

[mk1 dal]

hi mate if it carries on raining like it has we will be better showing boats :lol: , we don't want another tatton wash out :thumbdown: . looking forward to this weekend trip ,going of what people have said about previous years its a very very good show .

gary

[Master-B]

We will be fine! I am camping at silverstone at the mo, there is no way it can be this grim!

[coverco]

But you are in a van Kris, us people with tents will float away :-)

[mk1 dal]

hi , i have just read what cars are going to race on Saturday , very entertaining race line up cant wait rain or shine .:thumbup:

[bill hulme]

what time are you all arriving on Friday.
Bill.

[coverco]

Mike and I are hoping to be there around 1pm Bill (although Tintwistle determines the actual time). Are we sure the event is still on with all the rain camping may be difficult? Have you any idea where the camping is on the map you sent us, is it in the centre of the stands?

[Rick McRick]

I'm only planning on getting there Saturday morning. I'm guessing there is information in the letter about what time I need to be there and where to go and stuff?

Ever wish you'd joined the camper van owners club LOL

Saturday and Sunday look relatively dry actually http://www.forecast.co.uk/oulton.html although a lot of events I've tried to go to over the last few weekends have been cancelled due to water logged fields even though the actually weekend weather has been really nice.

Finger crossed, and I'll be turning up either way. Sara only lives round the corner, maybe I can talk her into letting us all crash in her front room for the evening ;)

[julianw]

I hope to be over with one vehicle or another on Friday afternoon. Assuming that amphibious craft are not necessary.

[Master-B]

Not sure yet. Might even end up being Saturday the way work is

[tommundy]

Speaking of work, I'm going to have to be a big gay and back out of this weekend. We've been asked to work the weekend as we're implementing a new phone system and moving a large site over the weekend! :(

I've let Bill know, who has said that he'll have to freeze all the bacon he'd bought, lol.

I'll wear my Mk1 Club T-Shirt to hopefully feel as if I'm there in spirit! :D

If anyone knows anyone that wants a ticket, please get in touch and I'll send it over next day delivery!

Have a great one guys and girls!

It'll make Tatton all the better!!!

[Rick McRick]

If all else fails, as a last resort, I could probably get someone from MR2OC to come along.

[coverco]

So who else is getting there early on Friday? Do you still need a lift Julian?

[bill hulme]

I should be there about 2.00 on Friday. racing starts early Saturday morning,
Bill.

[Master-B]

looking like a 6-7pm arrival for us

tom - im very disappointed we wont be getting any culinary treats this weekend, who would have thought you would become a corporate biff!!

[Master-B]

Could someone bring a volt tester dealy, so we can have another crack at tracking down the cause my dashboard lights antics?

[mk1 dal]

hi , me and Phil are going Friday , should be there around 7 pm .

[Gilles27]

This looks like a great event. We're off to Scarborough this weekend so I won't be there, but I hope the weather is kind to you. :cool:

Cant be any worse than last weekend ;-)

[Gilles27]

Or Tatton! Maybe I'm the jinx and you'll get sunshine as I won't be there! I've just found out that my mate John Farrell will be competing at Oulton this weekend. I don't know what he's driving (probably a classic Formula Ford), but you might want to cheer him on.

I'll keep an eye out for him!

[Rick McRick]

I've still not read my letter. Anyone know what the deal is for arriving Saturday, what time I have to be there and stuff?

[julianw]

So who else is getting there early on Friday? Do you still need a lift Julian?

Hi Tommy. I may do - I'm trying to extricate myself from work as soon as possible, but I've done nothing toward preparing the camper yet so I'm at least two hours away from hitting the road (then it's around an hour on the road too). I'm guessing that getting the camper on site and ensconced first is the higher priority, so if you could give me a lift back at about 7pm that would be great. If it's a problem, Tracey is around so I can get her to come and get me. See everyone (who is waterproof) later.

Sent you a pm

[coverco]

Got back about an hour ago, this was one of the best events I have ever been to. Fantastic facilities, racing on the Saturday and great company. I know Bill took loads of pictures so I am sure he will put them up when he gets a chance.

Mike has still not stopped laughing about my panic attack on Saturday night when I couldn't get out of the tent to relieve myself at 3am.

Finally a big thank you to Bill for organising a brilliant event and to Julian for allowing us to use his camper and off course to all the other MK1 club members who made it so much fun.......see you all at Tatton :-)

[Gilles27]

Knew it wouldn't rain if I kept away!

[mk1 dal]

hi ,wow what a fantastic venue this was ,we all had a brilliant time and the racing on Saturday was excellent ( loved the BMW series race , the m3's looked awesome to drive and the racing was very close ) . the trip through the pits on Friday night was very good ( who has the podium pics ) . i will be going to this next year, brilliant fun out with your mates and we all made new friends with the Ferrari club camping with us ( two top nights of discussion and drink ,priceless fun ) . Sunday we hit the track brilliant fun . thanks to bill again for taking more time of his organizing another memorable event and Julian for a top fry up in the camper Sunday morning :clap:.

pics of us waiting to go on track :cool:

priceless weekend we will have to make this a regular club event .

gary :+::+::+:

[coverco]

You missed an absolutely brilliant event Anthony. It was really wet on the Friday but the cars were still out practicing, there were puddles so deep that when the cars went through them they were throwing sheets of water up about 10 foot high. I hope you can make it next year, at £10 each to camp it must the cheapest way to go watching racing there is.

[Rick McRick]

Can't really stress how great a time I had.

Massive thanks to everyone who was there. Feels like I've had a little holiday with some really great Friends. And Julian, what a great guy, putting a roof over my head, feeding me and everyone for that matter, and then getting his tool kit out and getting the rusty screws out my car. Really feel like I'm not giving enough back!

Bill - Awesome as always, really knits the group together! I dread the day you pack in, we'll fall apart.

Gary, Kris, Alison, Tommy, Mike - all being great people, becoming great friends and mixing so well.

Look forward to seeing you all again!

[Master-B]

Tremendous scenes all weekend, no point repeating what has already been said up there ^^ other than to say we both had a great time as always & are looking forward to the next one.

[tommundy]

Good pics! Looks like a great event! Really gutted I couldn't make it!

Ended up working 11 hours on Saturday and 14 hours yesterday, then had to be in at 7:30am today to round it off; cream crackered now!

I'll see all the regulars at Tatton Park in a few weeks! :)

Cheers,
Tom

[bill hulme]

Great photos Bill!

[coverco]

Fantastic photos Bill, that picture of your car on the track with your big plastic box strapped to the engine cover is priceless :-)

[Master-B]

Fantastic photos Bill, that picture of your car on the track with your big plastic box strapped to the engine cover is priceless :-)

100 pairs of spare undies on your engine cover add at least 30bhp!

[coverco]

Actually now I think about it I had a tent in my boot with all my camping stuff and a pair of wellies behind my seat :-)

That has to be worth 50bhp any day of the week.

[Master-B]

At least. Maybe even 51.3

More great pics bill, where is the one of your favourite tree?

[tommo]

Great pics there people, what with the sun glasses Rick? Posing or what lol

[Rick McRick]

Ha ha, I was aware that I had sunglasses on my head for the whole weekend :)
It was really bright and needed them, but I find it impolite to socialised with sunglasses on so kept lifting them up to talk to people which was all the time :)

I've got a bunch of pics I need to get round to sticking up too. Not as good as Bills though.

[Master-B]

I find it impolite to socialised with sunglasses on

You must think me the worlds most impolite person then ;-)
