We are heading up the M40 after joining the A34 at Newbury (M4). Any idea what sort of time you will be in that area? Normally I hate the A34 as everybody sticks in the outside lane but hopefully it will be clearer on the Sunday morning. ------------- Kevin '04 E46 330Ci Convertible '08 E61 535d Touring (TorqueMeister Towbarge) ’95 E34 M5 ’89 E30 M3 (Cecotto) |

I'll be going, how many cars are normally at the event? Be a good chance to look at what some of the other E30s are like within the club. -------------

| theoretically there should hundreds! but I think it depends on the weather. But there are trade stands, seminars (inside) plus all the displays outside, let alone all those cars that will be in the car parks. plus cars for sale/concours/show and shine etc. |

I will be leaving from Poole and could meet up with people on the way. Let me know if you want to meet up early. Should be fun taking a drive up there as the RS Owners Club are having National Day at the same time.

| Anyone having problems getting tickets from the link on the club website? I tried last week and came up with a page not found notice, ordered one over the phone-hasn't turned up yet and no funds gone from account. Is it just me? I will ring the club office tomorrow. |

I clicked, it did not work. Looks like the server isn't working correctly, or the page is no longer there. -------------

"but needs more trade stands!"
I'd definately agree there. Cars were lovely but there is only so much looking you can do until you need to start buying parts to make your own even better -------------

I believe there should have been quite a few more stands there, and judging by the signs that were up, the space was allowed for them, they just didn't show? ------------- we're the Sweeney son, and we ain't had our dinner..... |

I went to the last one at Gaydon 2 years ago. This one was far better, it only had about three trade stands.
There were more cars and people at this one so hopfully now it's more popular the next one will have a few more trade stands. ------------- Steve 87 E30 M3 94 E34 530 Touring |

Hi Guys
I Would like to thank all you E30 guys and gals for turning up on Sunday. We counted 45 E30s at one point in the morning. It kept me busy all day I spoke to a lot of you and would like to have had more time to spend with you. In the E30 Register we now have a full committe so I hope that at the next festival I will have the help I need to spend time looking at the cars and chatting.Thanks again.

The trouble with getting trade stands is that they are usually already committed to other events.
Putting a 'new' event on in the middle of the season and expecting a big trade turnout is just not realistic.. but it will grow.. we just have to convince them that our event is bigger and better than everyone else's. Nick |

Alright Duncan, got those lights on no bother, the old unit slotted right in. Cheers. Made it up the road easily enough, even managed to catch up with Kevin from Wishaw. Left Warwick and first stop was Sauchiehall Street to drop off Dougie. Decent enough Fuel consumption i suppose. Anyway, look forward to seeing you all at Hawes at the end of the month, and maybe catch up with you one lunch time in Glasgow.

Just for the record, I was speaking to one of the Gaydon Duty officers (ex air force place you know) at the end of the day.He said that over 900 cars turned up to view the show, and that is excluding the normal visitors.
I won the Paragon Raffle (radio controlled F1 car), and also a prize in the club raffle (BBS Pen), so I had a really great day. Hope that you all did. ------------- 1963 700 LS 1988 635 CSi 1990 M635 CSi no longer! 2001 E38 728i Individual http://www.tyneships.co.uk" rel="nofollow - http://www.tyneships.co.uk |
