Yeah this should be a good day out - and is now marked in my diary. I'll look forward to learning a little more about PVX - and helping where I can, along the lines of "I'm not very bright but I can lift heavy stuff" :scholar:

I'll bring my dirrrty VR4 rather than the neighbours dirty Rover 200 this time.

Me too - if my employer leaves the dungeon unlocked that w/end. I'm taking my former bosses to tribunal on the 22nd, so I'll either be stooping under the weight of my bulging wallet, or need someont to keep me away from sharp implements, depending on the outcome :o

So far, we have 9 cars booked to go on the stand. early next week, I'll book a space for 10 cars, but please be aware, we have to be there by 10.30 am, & cannot leave the park until 4.30 pm. this is for safety reasons.

Now then fellas,

I've just bought myself a Ralliart Legnum VR4 and fancy attending this meet if that's cool? Being new to the VR4 I could do with some advice! I'm in the Bradford area so not that far away from Sheffield.

Cheers,

Benny.

sat outside the abbey from 8.30 ish to 10 ish, & witnessed several classics cars trundelling round ?? are they coming back from a weekend show elsewhere ?? [ on a monday night ? ] or are they early arrivals for the sheffield show ?? :rolleyes4
they included a couple of old astons, a HUGE Cadidelydac, some unknown veteran cars, what looked like a model 'T' ford, & the best.......................................... 2 SM's !! now they are as rare as rocking horse hens teeth !! /yes :thumbsup:

A gas barbie would be good Paul ! :thumbsup: plenty of snack vans also available.
plan is to meet at the bunker at 9.30 am [ish] you all have my number. we then have an hour to kill. would be nice to take the cars for a quick blast, but going by last years show, too many men in uniform around !! /yes /yes best play safe.
we can all take a good look at project VX, before moving on to the show. our entrance is at the far end of the park, & there will be a queue no doubt !! :embarasse
If anyone fancy's a walk, or gets bored, we can leave the cars there, & visit a few other places of interest, ie; norton hotel !! :rolleyes4 the Abbey!! :rolleyes4 or back to my place !! /yes
If anyone has any other suggestions, let me know & I'll sort it . /yes
