letmeshowyou Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Santa Pod, Friday-Sunday thing. http://www.ultimatestreetcar.co.uk I booked the Friday off as I usually camp at this all weekend but don't think thats likely this year. I'll probably go up to get a few runs in when the queues arent too bad on the Friday though if the weathers nice Anyone else planning on going to this?

MarkTheBoy Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 We're going on the thursday night, about 20 of us all camping in the top field. Extra night on the piss and it means we get first dibbs on the camping pitches on the friday morning! Been going for years and I bloody love it! We should arrange a mini meet in the beer tent or something i'll be there all weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyotatom Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 The car park is a field controlled by rent a muppet and the local scout group in mr important jackets who usually make a complete hash of parking people in the field which can be bumpy as hell. Caution is recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkTheBoy Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Every year they have a thousand little kiddie scouts and one brown bird (or what ever a scout leader is called) Hardly a deterrant for car thieves. If anyone needs their soop 'moved' round to pitside i'll lend you my wristband so you can drive it round if you like... i'd offer to drive it round myself but im imagining that im gonna be one or two JDs worse for wear most of the weekend As far as run times go, i should be running pretty much stock apart from a double decat so i'll be happy with a low 14, providing I don't have to stage against some numpty again who takes half hour to light their half of the tree, Not confident how long I can hold it at revs on the brake... dont wanna break something.
