I arrived about 7pm on the Sat evening, when most people had gone for a meal. So sat about with Riggy,Lee H and co for a bit until it started pissing down and going dark, so i decided set my tent up lol
Also realised i forgot my sleeping bag and pillow(i was really looking forward to this sleep :roll:,Lol)
Pretty much hammered it down with rain all through Sat night, but the weather came good on Sunday :D
Overall a decent weekend(apart from the png flag incident)

ANYWAYS, my pics:
Mikes 3cylinder beast(complete with microwave in boot lol )

I think Ade was pretty pleased with the service :)




And thats your lot, Ade no doubt took hundreds of pics so he'll get them posted up when hes back home(maybe a few days yet, quite a trek to Scotland,Lol)

Lee
24-08-08, 08:45 PM
Great pics Ad, cant believe the lack of effort with the pic of the Bus of Love lol

Hmm, the flag incedent. Have to say that peed me off for the whole of Sunday and im still fecking angry now as i write this tbh. Especially when it was blatantly stolen for a 'giggle' and probably lobed in the stream or in a bush.

Other than that, it was great to see a load of old faces, and meet some new ones! Weve learnt a huge amount from this years effort to ensure next year will be a belter.

Baxter-Basically someone dodged onto the camp site at about 12.30 on Sat night, and stole one of the huge png flags.......

Andy
24-08-08, 09:04 PM
Christ you cant have feck all

Lee
24-08-08, 09:04 PM
It was Ades fault. He went for a pee and it was nicked lol Big thanks to Ade though joking aside, he went out on the hunt with me just after it went missing, and he also had a hunt in the morning as well. Top geeza.

Andy, exactly. Its not worth anything to anyone but us. Complete waste of money, and unfortunately the remaining flag, and its replacememnt when I get around to ordering it will have to be well looked after in future. You live and learn I guess.

General Baxter
24-08-08, 09:08 PM
how can a 30ft flag go missing? lol

24-08-08, 09:09 PM

Forgot I took a couple of snaps lol.

Here is a word of warning. Do NOT get in between Dan and his food, under ANY circumstances. Useless staff at the pub did, and this was the result..

24-08-08, 11:24 PM
Well i left at about 9 and just got in. I would just like to thank all of those that made it, it has to be one of the funniest weekends i think i have had for a while, just full of banter and abuse in the highest form :thumb: (i dont think my sides have hurt from so much laughter in years)

I am just sorting out some aftersun after getting a tad red from the last 2 days burning sun and i shall post up my few random pics i took. I know that there are some more awesome pics coming from the other guys that also pretty much explain the whole weekend and what it was about.

Mike
24-08-08, 11:31 PM
^ have to agree Dan, was a fantastic weekend! So much fun in such a short time! As said, those who didnt attend (shame on you lol) but there are some amazing pictures to come mainly from Ade (go karting espcially!) shame he missed the Red Arrows fly by mind lol

Was a pleasure to meet you all, and eqaully a pleasure to be in attendance!

25-08-08, 09:57 AM
Yeah was nice to catch up you guys, and i was gutted when i saw the go karts on my way out! lol if you had said were going karting instead of mini golf id of stayed and done that even in the rain!!
I shall need to sort the car out for some track days before the years out, and then it will be ready for next years abuse and shows etc.
Lets hope that more can attend these type of days out/events etc as there more about the social side then the cars.

It looks like you all had a good time.I was going to pop down over the weekend but Carla's gran is still in hospital so thought i best stay back home.
Hope you get the flag back.

Awesome weekend, we got in late last night and went straight to bed, there was no way I was up for looking at a screen, I dread to think what Ade's journey is like! Thank god for my iPod, I wouldn't be able to make long journeys in the Nova without it!

I have quite a few pics, will sort them later, not many of the cars but just general antics that were going on!

Was ace to meet new people and see familier faces! Thanks to everyone that came. Shame more of you couldn't have made it.

As for the flag incident, let's look into an electric fence type thing to stop thieving idiots from touching it!

Next year will be bigger and better ;)

Fantastic weekend. Everyone really chilled, up for doing anything - fair, golf, karting, meals, messing about. Really was good laugh, everyone mixed and chatted, good to meet you all and put a few faces to usernames! Everybody's other half's were really nice too, I'm probably the only one on here am I? Hi all anyway!

Adam
25-08-08, 03:33 PM
Good to see everyone got home safely(ade's probably still on the road...Lol)

Was good to meet the usual faces, and see a few new ones :)


Kind of regret not doing Friday night now as it seems most fun was had on Friday night/Saturday.

Lee H wouldnt be out done with the clean cars around him so hatched a plan, he decided to bath his car with a good dose of imperial leather

And the proof of the pudding that his arms can actually move in a smooth sweeping motion rather than making someone else do it :thumb:

Starting to recover from a great weekend lol

Good to meet everyone and had a good laugh. Shame about the flag and the non waterproof tent, but didn't put too much of a damper on the whole thing. Would've liked to have stayed yesterday night too but wet bedding and a lot of pain made home and bed too appealing lol

Here's looking forward to the next one!

I was gutted when that happened. From then on it was never gonna be fair lol. He would have won that if it didnt break, there was no way around him :) It was decided on a flip of the coin as to who got the inside line at the start lol

quality pics guys!

Before I set off I topped up me brake reservior - was a little low so did a toppie whilst checking other fluids...

I set off at 10am - saw Mazz drive by me at the BP garage whilst I stuffed me face with a sausage bap and coffee outside Billing - all fueled up and off I went...

Got home at 7.15pm! Stopped 4 times for coffee and pee stops and drove at 3000rpm all the way home (I think its about 65mph lol!)

Weather was great until I got north of Lancaster Services then it went very dark - Shap summit was driving through clouds!

Got over the border and it went really sunny again!

I have to say the brakes are FANTASTIC! No judder - really responsive and the pedal imo isnt soft at all...I only have to lightly touch it and I can feel
it bite...


Pics wise I've done one of the cards and there's some cracking shots (If I do say so muself) - didnt get one of Dan munching the pie though.

I'll try and post them tomorrow along with a full report - I need some sleep now...

Was an excellent 3 days - glad I did the lot - the crack was excellent - a great start to the 1st club anniversary and it can only get better!

Ade


P.S - Sturge - I've got some ACE shots of your dog!

JUST THROW THE GOD DAMN BALL!

Well I actually managed to get to a png meeting, As I pulled in every single person there turned round & stared, when I strolled over & introduced myself, they all went 'Oh' and nodded knowingly... I may only have been ther for the sunday, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Sorry about my daughters golfing. whose ankle did she clobber with the ball???? I was too busy trying not to laugh..
the Karting was marvellous... the banter was great, & to actually be in the same place as other people who want to talk about novas was priceless ....

I will get the old girl legal & drive to my next event.


ps. seeing the microwave & generator cooking one of those petrol station cheeseburgers was the funniest thing all day

Awesome pictures, couldn't get on last night as I was out drinking again believe it or not.

What a great weekend, so funny and the banter was brilliant. Was a little disappointed to be offered a booster seat for karting, didn't see the funny side myself!!

Journey back was a laugh to, chavvy Astra, Audi TT and then Fiesta RST all got double teamed by the lowly Nova's!!

Dan

The booster seat thing had to be the highlight of the weekend, i dont think i have come so close to wetting myself since i was 4 years old, absolute genius, i can confirm lee's dismay as the whites of his eyes told the whole story as he turned around in that " dont you dare laugh" stylee which made it all the more funny lol lol lol

Mazz

TBH, I was a little apprehensive about going not knowing anyone, but everyone made us feel welcome and i'm really glad we went now, had a top weekend - putting screen names to face's, the go-karting (waiting the 'fail' pics from Ade!) and the general banter/atmosphere between everyone. Only downer in the entire weekend was the flag. (might be worth a call to Billing to see if it was left behind)

Here's a few of my pics:

What Burgo says is spot on, great bunch of people and all so friendly. You can sometimes feel a bit excluded at car shows when everyone else knows each other but not this time.

My 10 year old daughter is still telling everyone about it, except the swearing, which mike, to his credit, did keep apologizing for.

The Red Arrows flypast was marvellous, and credit must go to admin for that one....

The car clinic should be extended, with our combined expertise, everything is possible.

I am planning to do the whole camping thing next time.

Sorry about that one, I still can't believe when I said 'just aim for his knobbly ankle bone, & you'll be about right' that she'd actually get you on it!!!!!
Tiger woods could not have pulled off that shot.

So the karting owner/runner asked if you needed a booster seat? lol


I also found it quite amusing when Dan asked if you had a knife to cut the cake with.
And you replied "What do you mean, are you saying just because im from Manchester that means i carry a knife on me"
