fv1609 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Fishbourne, Chichester Show 4/5/6 August is it worth going to? Info on their club site & entry form doesn't give much away. Its just that with a heavy vehicle one has to make judgements of worthwhilieness versus distance & fuel consumption. I don't have much info to go on, anyone been before?

fv1609 Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 Hello Jack, yes I did. I was just posting a comment for future reference as you popped up! The pig ran very well & the electronic ignition is an asset. The site was near a Tesco but it was not easy filling up. Apart from the maneuverability problems, the pump cut out on me I had to queue up to tell the cashier, who rather grumpily told me there was a timer & I had taken too long. I explained that I had two tanks & I was still on tank number one. When it cut on the second tank, I took the hint that it was nature's way of telling me I have spent enough on fuel. In case anyone considers it next year. It was worth going to, 35 MVs maybe, number of useful contacts made with the public & although I only knew one other exhibitor they seemed a friendly lot to mix in with, which makes all the difference. In evening a bonfire & good firework display, laid back & enjoyable except the problems that many shows have: 1. PA system, so we have to have music played down it most of the day. 2. Several exhibitors dogs just allowed to run around not on a lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve ryan Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Hi Clive got any photos of the Chichester show for us to see? steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 Steve I did take quite a few pics but I am afraid they were all of the Generator No.1 fitted to a Champ for an article I'm doing. But nothing else I'm afraid. Thinking about it it would have been a good idea. So that anyone who missed out this year could refer back to see the sort of venue/turnout when contemplating next years calendar. Sometimes when events clash provided the rival event is worthwhile, I try to rotate a bit & it would help having a preview for us all to get a feel of events we missed. But I take very few pictures at shows these days. Even at Beltring I took quite a few pics of just one vehicle (a very rare EOD Rover) I was apparently so engrossed in it that I failed to notice two Roadsure girls walk by :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
