Silverstone Classic 2015 - 24th to 26th July - Club Event of the Year!

[superwhite90]

You're having the worst run of luck ever with that engine of yours, but you certainly deserve a medal for perseverance. I'd like to think Silverstone will spur you on to get it running, and if anything it'll be a good counselling session for you.

Paul Woods is sourcing me a crankshaft, so by mid-early august it'll be back together again.

The timing was spot on before I found the leak, so just got to whack belt back on again and it'll be all good in the hood ;)

[superwhite90]

NOTE: Some people's club membership has expired and you haven't responded to several e-mail reminders, so please don't be offended if I come and ask you for your £10 renewal fee at the weekend. :)

That would be me, I don't think I've had email reminders mate, but I'll give you your tenner along with the £4 for the postage on Saturday :)

Maybe it wasn't meant to be for my '2 this year but it's meant to be an epic weekend and looking at the website the Saturday looks action packed! :)

[Master-B]

Further promotion from Silverstone! :D

Thats weird. The Super Aguri is running a Cosworth V10. It will sound awesome..... BUT surely it should have a Honda V8, they were the Honda junior team afterall. Wonder what thats all about!

[sTuArT]

Early days but forecast looking for good for Saturday

[Snowtigger]

Tickets arrived yay sort money for postage when I see you guys Friday, two of the reg letters are the wrong way round on the blue car window thingy no big deal let's see if there spotted.

Not sure how that happened; should be fine though mate. :+:

[Snowtigger]

I expect it was there end that got excited thinking it was a brm not rbm, although that reg would probably make more money on a former F1 team transporter.

[bill hulme]

To all members that are Camping at Woodlands, I will put our flag at the end of the lane, which is about 3 lanes on the left from the end of the main track, As you drive through the main check in area.

[dylbie]

. Does anyone leave their cars on stand overnight? Is it safe to do so?

[tommundy]

I have done before without any issues.

[nedward]

Sorry but I was not able to get my mk1 back on the road in time. I will still come to the stand tomorrow and see everyone but no parade lap for me. :cry::cry:

[Joy Toy Boy]

Change of plan. After work ran on and the rain started heavy,I'm coming down crack of dawn to throw my tent up.
Shame to miss Paul Young, "wherever I lay my hat....."

Hi there,

Welcome to the forums!

Unfortunately, we're a Mk1 only club. Feel free to pop over for a chat if you're around tomorrow. :+:

The parade lap was fantastic! You should get yourself a mk1 over here. :)

Cheers,
Tom

Brilliant brilliant brilliant weekend , Tom did a awesome job of organizing the club event and bill organizing the club stand on Saturday:clap::clap::clap: . It was great to put names to faces and meet fellow club members , the cars looked great Saturday on the stand . The club camping HQ was brilliant and excellently organized by Graham who cooked full English breakfast every morning for all club members followed by a lovely chilli for Friday night tea and a excellent curry Saturday night for all the club members so thanks mate for your hospitality you are a credit to the club :clap: :thumbup:. pics to follow

[Lakelad]

Made it home - just got past Preston on the M6 three minutes before they closed the M6 for overnight roadworks! What a fantastic weekend - well done to Tom for organising it, Bill for getting us all sorted out, everybody for turning up even on the wet days! As usual great company and what a Fantastic weekend - can someone set up the tread for next year please so I can put my name down now!!!

[paulandchez]

We absolutely loved it. First time to Silverstone, first time meeting anyone from the club and first time watching Quo! Massive thanks to all of you we met, especially Tom and Bill for sorting us all out, Gary for the help with the car and Graham for looking after us all! Can't wait to see you all again

What a great weekend! It was lovely, as always, to spend time with you lovely lot. Thank you particularly to Graham for his pan ;-) and for making Dad and his friend feel so at hone, to Bill and Ken for their stirling work on the stand, and, of course to my Tom for pestering you all to come and sorting the organisation of it all - I feel very proud of you :-)

I hope plenty of you are converted and will be signing up for next year and I promise to try and arrange our honeymoon around it so that we can be there too!

[Shaner]

Have now made it part of the way home to Dublin - stopping overnight in Birmingham before catching ferry tomorrow - and thankfully it has stopped raining!

Now I thought we had a lot of rain in Ireland, but you guys in the UK win the prize - don't think I've ever seen so much non-stop rain before!

However despite the slightly inclement weather, I had an absolutely fantastic weekend. It was really great to meet so many club members and put faces to the names, and I must say both myself and my wife Fran felt very welcome indeed. Huge thanks to Tom for organising everything, and meeting me outside early on Friday morning to collect my tickets. Thanks to Bill as well for coordinating the parking on the stand and the parade lap.

And what can I say about the parade lap..... it was just awesome! Not something I'll forget for a long time (especially giving it the full beans down the start finish straight). Can we do this every year?!!!!

It's safe to say I will be well up for coming back over next year - looking forward to seeing you all again then!

[superwhite90]

I had a great day and was very envious of all who did the parade lap!

[celica1600gt]

Some photos of the parade lap from the stands .

[Master-B]

Now I've got some wifi (or whiffy if you're French!) I'm just going to dump a load more photos from the parade lap here!

Going through Maggots & Becketts as a passenger was awesome even at low speed, it must be mind blowing at full pelt!

Enjoy.

Just like to say thanks to Tom for organising this great event, and Bill for making sure the parade lap went to plan...won't forget that lap in a hurry.

It was good to meet other members, some I hadn't seen for years...the weather could have been kinder, but at least the sun was out on Saturday for our lap.

First port of call! Cracking view from up there. This was taken on the rainy Friday early in the morning. It'd be great to see one taken from up there on the Saturday when there were 30+ mk1's on the stand.

For those who didn't do the camping, here's a taste of life at Camp MR2 ......

Friday 24/07/15 06:47
Balloon rise over Camp MR2

2809

07:49 Gary & Martin attempt Graham's 5 breakfasts team challenge

2810

18:34 As the weather gets worse, Graham makes sure the flag is well secured

2811

19:33 Soggy campers seek refuge in Camp MR2 Centre of Operations / Restaurant / Breakfast Bar. Graham rises to the challenge with a pasta starter followed by chilli and rice

2812

Late on we finally retire to the tent and await Saturday

[Johnsf]

Saturday 25/07/15 07:41
IT'S NOT RAINING !!

More tents have mysteriously appeared overnight

2813

Camp MR2 Centre of Operations is now surrounded by Mk1s

2814

Our car is already on the show stand so a leisurely breakfast courtesy of Graham is eaten in the sun

2815

The wet campsite roads mean the cars have to be washed again when they are parked on the show stand

2816

[Johnsf]

But it's all worth it when over 30 shiny Mk1s fill the stand

2817

Do you prefer red or white ?
Other colours were available during the 80's !

2818

Gary's car clinic and mobile repair service goes down well with the crowd

2819

13:34 The parade lap draws to a close

2820

We prepare for an evening of entertainment

[Johnsf]

Saturday 19:45
With the Status Quo concert just hours away, people arrive by any means of transport they can find

2821

20:48
Some tremendous Group C racing starts the evening entertainment

2822

Then it's the planes (this picture is taken off a bit of video I took hence the dodgy quality)

2823

As the light dims and Status Quo take to the stage, the balloons glow along to the music, as does my brother's hair in a fetching shade of lilac.
The umbrella remains a mystery !

2824

[Johnsf]

22:43 THE QUO

Rock and great cars, you just can't get better than that

2825

Sunday 26/07/15 08:44
Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, we know it's due to rain soon so the tents are all hastily dismantled and packed away and we gather to make plans for the day

2826

Unfortunately the weather does mean we pack up the stand Gazebo early when the rain eases slightly.

Can you identify the people in the photograph ? If so the Police would like to hear from you on ......

2827

Whilst Bill waves us goodbye until Tatton, he also illustrates how the Mk1 makes such a great family car.

Its ability to transport everything the average family (2.5 children and huge dog) need for a fortnight high speed camping holiday in the Lake District was rarely mentioned in car reviews of the 1980's.

2828

A big thank you to everybody at the show, you really are the most friendly and helpful gang.
If you were there I hope the pics remind you of great times.
If you weren't I hope it makes you want to give it a try next year !
John.

I think that bra is meant to go on the front

[tommundy]

I'll post up a bit more in the coming days, but I just wanted to say thank you to all that attended! :)

Having 33 Mk1's on the stand and out on track made me very proud, and it's days like the Saturday that make all the hard work worthwhile.

Lots of fantastic memories and great to meet so many new members.

I'm now settling in to a few weeks of rest and relaxation (and sun, wine, cheese, baguettes etc.)

Cheers,

[Vistalite]

Fantastique! In Belguim by any chance Tom, at eau d'heure lakes perhaps? Good choice of beer BTW ;-)

[Snowtigger]

Very good write up was much enjoyed by me and the other half maybe next year we may camp and have a chin wag although drinking then snoring I don't really want anybody to suffer the chainsaw snore that is my other half sleeping.

Have a nice rest chairman Tom see you at tatton.

France actually, but you can't beat a leffe!

A week in the Jura, followed by three nights in Alsace, sandwiched by two nights in Champagne district.

We've just spent the afternoon at a local village festival that just so happened to be this weekend. Very typically French with lots going on, but the bar was crazily cheap!

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/02/a468dab4f10f272fe2fcf9d4f9028a54.jpg

Good times!

PS: Yes, that is 35p for a glass of local wine!

Glad you enjoyed it Michael! It was great having you there.

See you in a few weeks! :D
