Post by theo2468 » 01 Mar 2011 05:13 pm

Thought i would see whose going.
As im probably the furthest southern person on here im happy to meet anyone on my way up to cruise together (if ive passed my test by then, instructor said should be done by may! hopefully).
ive heard a few people saying they're going up.
unfortunately i cant pick anyone up as ive got a full car.
and the last thing are we going to organise a stand?
sorry if this is all been covered as im new to this.
thank you

Alright, give us more than 2 hours to respond. Some of use have jobs you bloody student :lol:

Yes I'll be there, really looking forward to it. If there's enough V3M coming I'll organise a stand but otherwise I'll probably just end up going with A52 people.

Names people?

I've seen stands at gatherings with only 3 cars before, I don't think there's a minimum. I think we had about ten of us in '09.

I'm sure jonovlov will be keen, hoping we can drag a few others in.
Would be good to meet some people, what about foggy?

Pfft, the last two years I had nearly a 700mile round trip, if you like old cars it's worth any distance!

Indeed, always worth the trip.

It's more a "are they gonna turn up?". I'd do a stand for 2 cars but it's a bit embarrassing (err... like last year when I and everyone else other than FJ pulled out) when nobody turns up. Plus its a waste of THEIR time.

Would be nice to do a V3M stand again. A number of 5 or 6 pretty much guarantees someone will turn up.
