Count us in thats Pat Lizzie and Skippy camping, do you need some dosh up front?

count us in, myself mell and " unamed sammio" any ideas on a name guys ?

it was going be called "MG" FOR MELL AND GARY, and i see there`s lots of badges around to fit also.......

I had an day off today - I know cheeky git aint I !! - and took Sam out for the morning ....I used the oppurtunity of having a child with me to trespass at Sandford for a few hours .....

After a period of time spent on the slides , ball pit , swings , rope walk etc...( I even let Sam have a go sometimes as well !! ) we went up to 'top field' to remind myself of the camping area....

The camp is mildly busy and this area was deserted !! Perfect !

Took a couple of pics to give you an idea of the layout....The camping is both sides of a single track road which loops round in an oval taking you up to the showers etc with a little sideroad bit coming off of it .....bit like an Oval track and pit area ! but I didn't say that !

I am going to reserve 5 pitches either side of the road at the bottom end , nearest the steps to the showers and quieter.....






I last camped there properly about 8 years ago , with this nice little outfit now residing in Austria and somewhere East Coast

Gary, that looks like the only way to travel.

Only six weeks away so speed up your builds everyone

six weeks, cant wait must get few more road test done in the sammio. hope see you guys there.

Damn

Damn and blast,
working that weekend, and know I won't be able to get away due to my month end responsibilities at the Dealership. never mind guys, next time eh? Mind you could try and pop over Sunday for a while!!! Mmmm sounds like a plan.

I was owed, so I've got off call for the weekend also thinking Newark show mid June weather dependent as it'll be in skippy, happy Sammio'ing.....

Hello .....been absent for a while , very busy ......

I think we need to be looking at confirmations for people who are definitely going to be staying over ....

Can I have a YES from anyone who is a deffo , please ...

I will need to go and book this next week , methinks..

THANKS

I'm afraid it's a no from me Gary. I'm working that weekend and there are leave restrictions due to the run up to the olympics.

I'll confirm as soon as i can, but it should certainly be me, possibly the clan as well although SWMBO isn't exactly chuffed that she would have to bring the boys down in the sensible family car while i blat across the hills in the Spyder. So there are ongoing..... .discussions!

hi all, a very late newcomer to the party, so i just havea couple of quci questions.

1) wheres sandford? (postcode) for distance time and cost etc

2) does anyone mind if me and the other half come down to droool over completed cars/chat etc. even though my project is sat in a field looking much like a herald convertible at present ...

cheers

si

Gary, I think you know I is coming wiv Skippy and I'm sure Lizzie is also.
hesh, "bless you" it's a good trip from Durham near Poole in Dorset and it's open to anyone but with other news you won't have to come that far to pick up a body!!! PAT

hmm , having just started a new job there may be a technical hitch with the supply of tokens for go go juice. perhaps next time me thinks ....

mildly annoying as i have just spent a whole year in camberley...surrey..oh well

Hope the weather is better than today at the Newark show....

...I mean really better...

Yup. That sums it up. I was there
Very sparce attendance and to be honest, fewer traders than I'd hoped. some nice people to chat to and a chance to look at this beauty from Ronart:


POWER!:


and an offset Hump/Steering wheel arrangement:


but at a cost of a kit being around £16,000 and turnkeys just touching £90,000 it's a different world to the one I live in

We must have walked past each other.

I was always interested in the Ronart W152 but it was very expensive when it first came out in the 70's and it put me off, as was the Kougar, which looked great apart from the grill.

Although a credit to its owner IMHO this vehicle looked a bit ...bland? still each to their own. (edit... looking again I think the word was 'subtle'' not 'bland..although it would look better IMHO without the exhausts and with a wrap around deflector. Must be fun to drive ion the rain).

It certainly didn't get driven to Newark also the lack of a number plate makes me think this may be more of a garage queen. Sorry we didn't meet. as you say, we have to had passed one another in the hall.

...perhaps at the Sammio gathering in July? (he said hastily getting back on thread)

Sammio Gathering date / location check

So that would be: June 30th - July 1st

Sandford Holiday Park,
Holton Heath
Poole, Dorset
BH16 6JZ

....is that correct?

ohh, that's next Saturday!

I'll be there as long as the weather is good, as I'll be on my own in the Spyder and my 'small' tent is the only one that'll fit in the passenger foot well and it's not especially good.

Can't you fit a large one in the luggage bay?

My large tent only just fits in the luggage bay on our Xsara Picasso! so i don't think it would fit in even your leather lined smuggling hidey hole.

Help with meeting confirmation please!




I still need someone to confirm the date and location is correct .... Gary??
