Bump

Will you allow non-GB driving licence holders to this meet Toby?

Sounds good

Looks good Toby.
Hopefully we can join you - I'll try and make a note of the date.

You are always welcome Pieter !

Initial plan would be to meet at a services on the M4 and then convoy it to Margam.

A little over a month to go. Do we have any more takers?

Possibly her last run out before I wrap her up in her cover for the winter

Awesome Joe.

I'll do it. Provided the wife permits it.

Are we entering as exhibitors or spectators? I dont mind either, although, as an exhibitor I will need to wash and hoover the car!!

Not sure mine's good enough to exhibit!

Can you polish out rust?

Mines not really upto standard but who cares right? Rust is good. You can cover it in club stickers maybe?

Looks like entry is £13 if we pay in advance, but will be more on the day.

Was thinking of exhibiting. Who cares if they are a bit dog eared. It's just a bit of fun. I need to find out more. Will post back.

I've registered, as an exhibitor! Also clicked the button for the parade accidentally. Will try to get out of that. 4 weeks to sort rusty arches, clean and shine as much as possible. Or not.

Word of advice when completing the registration form, choose '1' when it asks how many people are you registering. The question should read, 'how many cars are you registering?'

Well done. I'll register my Coupe tomorrow.

UPDATE:

Just spoke to the organisers. There are already 700+ cars registered, which sounds good. They have kindly added FCCUK to the list of classic car clubs !!! You need to scroll to the bottom of the list, but it is there !! Now you just need to register and pay yer dosh for a very good cause.

Just for info, the show used to be held at Tredegar House which ran for over 30 years. Example (a bit cheesy): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oifTbWOazC0

It is now run by leukaemialymphomaresearch.org.uk with a venue change to Margam Park, also just off the M4.

We should be able to display together, so if anyone has an FCCUK Club flag, please bring it.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Please list your name once you've registered.

Roll up roll up!

I may be able to attend this meet, I'll see if anything clashes with the date and get back to you.

Booooo ! Won't be the same without you. :o(

It's a bit quiet in here. Any more takes?

Would love to attend and meet up with you folks again, but it's the missus birthday and on the list of things she may do, there's nothing to do with cars included on it.

Hope you have a great day.

No worries Huw. Think of the brownie points.

My pack has arrived, have got a specific space to park in. Hopefully with other coopsters, but who knows. Zone 5, row E space I. What have you been given?

I am row 5, E, N and I know of others who are next to me so you are only a couple of cars away !

Ps did you get any parade stuff? I didn't.

Glad they stuck us together, and no parade stuff, or any of the other gumph that was supposed to be I'm the pack!

I'm Section 5 row E pitch N

So how do you register as an exhibiter?

Oh sorry, just read the blurb. Too late!

Donut

Give them a call, they might be able to fit you in.

Folks,

Giving 3 people a lift now so not going to register as an exhibiter this time.

See you there

Chaps. URGENT NOTE

Regarding the arena parade. I've contacted the organisers and we should be included. They can email you a ticket if you get in touch either by phone or email. Details on the link at the start of this thread.

Sadly I'm unable to travel the North Sea and enjoy your company in beautiful Wales this time. The memories of last years' event are very special.
To make it worse I know that my NBF will be around as well (possibly wearing a Dutch football shirt) and a newly wed proud father from down under who's wedding pictures I would love to see.
Wish you lots of fun. And Schumi: good job organising the event.
Warm Blistering greetings from Sicily.

Will miss you this weekend Alesi.

Feel free to make a surprise visit

Roll call.........

Come on chaps....

Please add your name to the list.

I've had to make a choice between either the meet on Sunday or Spa Italia

I think you can guess the one I've gone for.

So we'll be seeing you on Sunday then Joe

Hi folks,

Regrettably....... You know whats coming next don't you

going have to take a rain check on the meeting.

I've been invited down to west wales today to watch the rugby with family which will mean plenty of food and particularly drink so will need to stay the night.

Hope you have a nice day and hopefully see some vids posted on the forum of the grand day out?

How's your show going?

Hope your lacquer is staying put, Toby

I think it was this time last year that you dud a South Wales run too.

I'll have to get my Mrs to change her birthday

It was a very good day. Even better, it didn't rain.

Plenty of interesting cars about.

One from Southerndown yesterday:


A few from the show:

some more:











Award for the cleanest engine goes to....



Good to meet Mark today, and a cheerio to Alan and Anthony after a fun weekend. See you all again soon I hope.

Your Coupes look great.

It's a massive show ground!

What was your favourite car there (apart from the Coupés' of course)?

(Have accumulated many brownie points today on the Mrs birthday)

It was a great weekend - Thanks Toby and Anna for putting us up!

My favourite car at the show was that Tangerine coloured Jensen Interceptor FF (engine bay shot above). It was MINT.

Looks like you guys had a great day with some nice weather

It was a great venue. The house and grounds are stunning.

Just as well it wasn't today though. It is absolutely peeing down.

Fav cars on show:

Merc Gullwing
Jensen FF
Triumph GT6
Mustangs
Cobras
Pontiac fire bird and trans am
Couple of Alfa gtvs

Plenty of modern stuff too. Lots of RS turbo and STs.
Mint Mk1 escorts.

Fairly easy site to get in and out of. Only minor queue at start.

Perhaps we can make it an annual FCCUK event..

Indeed, had a good day, nice to meet fellow , although I didnt ask anyones forum names, silly boy. And sorry I wasnt around so much, had to try and keep the wife happy for 8 hours, not an easy task.

Not sure it would've been so fun if it rained. I've got lots of piccies, will upload later at home.

The Jensen was amazing. Looked like a brand new car. He wasn't shy with the loud pedal either by all accounts. Great back story with it too.

+1 for doing it again.

So many nice cars, but the Stratos wins the show for me. Not sure if it was real or a kit, I dont care, it was lush.
