fv1609 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I was taliking to John Newton yesterday who usually goes with his Pig as he is nearby. I would certainly go with my Pig if it was a 2-day show, otherwise it's just not cost effective. All I want to do is kip in my vehicle. I don't expect a beer tent, a rock band, a Glen Miller tribute band, showers, catering, a plaque or even toilets, I am totally self sufficient. I just wish a few smaller events would consider extending to two days to entice those who have to travel a fair way to get there & are happy for just for one night to survive on a tin of baked beans & few bottles of beer. I suspect organisers may be intimitaded by those who feel that if they bring the wife & kids they might expect all facilities to be laid on & that may well be a justifiable expectation for the high profile, higher attendance shows.

gritineye Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Ditto, went last year as MOP, liked it, would like to enter but too long a day there and back.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 These one day efforts might suit classic car people who have relatively low fuel costs & just like to turn up at 10am & shove off at 3pm, or sooner if the sun doesn't come out. But we & our vehicles are made of tougher stuff! Its not just the time & fuel, much of the fun is walking around in the evening with a beer, looking & talking about this & that when the public have gone home.

fv1609 Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Presumably you will go to the Tangmere Museum "Ferret & MV Event", to launch, if that is the right word, their Vigilant Ferret? Another one-day effort I'm afraid, I would like to go in something interesting but in view of the distance it will have to be in a Land Rover.
