It was a stressful week but I got the car ready for Billing, although I got there late, the weather was awful the second I arrived and the saloon wasn't looking too great since the crash.
Sorry I didn't get a chance to come and speak to anyone but the couple hours I was there I was on a mission to find parts for the car so spent most my time diving between stools and trees, managed to get a new drivers side wing for £35 which I thought was a bargain and a few of the little bits I needed but refused to pay £120 for passenger wing so I have to keep an eye out still.

But here's a few pics I got of the show in between the rain and before most people left.

I went on sunday and despite getting soaked a couple of times it was a fantastic day and loved the nova turn out there generally seemed like hundreds more than when i last went a couple of years ago, after umming and arring for a day or two which car to go in (reliable or cool) i decided on the cool option which was the best decision i could have made, it made it there and back without a hickup and had a few photos taken and heads turned on the way in too, i was being a bit shy so didnt come and say hi (maybe next year) but i think a few of you noticed (probably heard the webbers) as i passed the pngclub stand.
will deffinately be going again as the parts autojumble was worthwhile on its own but the quality of the cars was top notch too.

Well I guess this is the formal event report thread :)

Firstly a monumental thank you to ALL of you for representing the PNG in a fantastic way while still having fun :)
secondly an even bigger thank you to Burgo, Boffer8, Mazz and Connor for their help in making it work, all I did was be a gobby boring git lol
THANK YOU FOR THE FLYERS AND MUGS SOUTHIE XXX

i have never been to Billing for more than about 8hours, and also not camped since I was under 10 lol, anyway I arrived on Friday evening to get my tent on and setup some of the stand bits. Connor got us all pizza and promised the same for anyone there on a Friday next year too ;)
MIG came over and gave us a lovely cake as a thank you for stand sharing at PVS.
Mr Butler got his space craft off the roof of the van and voila, we were setting fire to a washing machine drum..... Screw you gas bottle chimenia folks lol

So Saturday.... We setup the outline and entrance to the stand etc. car arranged all pretty and such.
Lots of very nice Novas all over the place and it was all going nicely till Spud and Merris showed up lol
managed some food on the loonaque and if you missed it I am sorry lol

Met loads of people who I had to keep asking Connor and Luke who they were in terms of forum names etc and I will forget.

Sunday was the big one.
oh and wet
Again lots of great cars on the stand despite the iffy weather and some non nova imposters
We aren't great at getting the message out, but we did have the vote for the great prizes Joff made, which went to:
Best Bodge - Sam Burgess
Show n Shine - Pete Belgrove
Highest Miles - Boffer8
Best Allrounder - Peesters new brown hatch
Best Engineered - raggys 4wd (he will sign up and sort a project thread)
Most Likely to Breakdown - Merris

Milworm got a mug that Southie made for fastest lap of the karting we did
Patrick got a mug for being the fastest under 16yr old (a tough fight as Connor looks 12 )
Connor got a mug for taking the abuse well :)
Burgo got one coz he's a legend
Daz or Dan for one for being the ultimate legend of coming to Billing the day after his wedding lol

All in a great weekend, IMHO and with this and PVS I have the horn for a nova again :D
again, thanks and let's carry it on.

Great effort lads really hope I can be there next year in my nova and get involved with the club.

The stand looks great with all the novas on it. The trophies and mugs are awesome.

I'm envious of everyone who made it there.

I'm gutted I couldn't stop and do Sunday, but I'm glad I forced my self to come down Saturday "for a few hours" left at 9.30pm lol
Promise next year well be there, I'll try get the time off and do a full weekend! Might see if we can arrange to get riggy and Sean down, old school reunion lol, Brett said he was thinking of getting a nova again too...

We wandered over there twice!

Had a great weekend. Camped for the first time and really enjoyed it. Certainly seemed to have abit more of a "club" feel to it this year. Not sure if thats because we camped?!

I won the show and shine trophy which was a very nice surprise and end to the weekend.

Thanks to all those who voted.

I didn't attend but went up there to pick some wheels up from nova-niek and while I was waiting in there on the sunday some guy was taking pictures of my car :roll:

Hoping to go next year in both nova's next year as looked good from what I see as went past the png stand :thumb:

Stuart
17-07-15, 11:23 AM
The more the merrier.
And anyone who claims they "cant" show their nova... Just look at Boffers car lol :p But in all seriousness, be it a rotten shed that gets a kind MOT or a show stopper, we want you :) the cars are about 30% of the show in reality, the rest is the messing about and eating/drinking lol
