Vickie
2nd July 2007, 20:30
Yay you def have to come along Pete, it's a fab show! I believe it's just the Sat night - but don't quote me!
Virtually the whole show goes on a massive cruise on Sat afternoon, with the main show happening on the Sunday. :)
It pissed down last year though! Doh!
Shamrockez

Shamrockez

I imagine our 'stand' will be in the show and shine, like it has been the last few yrs.

28th July 2007, 18:39
Hiya, I took the whole family last year, didn't have a bug at the time, was looking for a TD T25, this year we are going in burty, my silver tdi bug with little butterflies on my rear number plate, and wipers that work...most of the time:D
I hope it's sunny this time, I want to use my tent:rolleyes: :beerchug:
Shamrockez
28th July 2007, 20:36
You gonna come and camp with us? :)
littlesilverbugfromwales
28th July 2007, 20:44
yep, we are all off work and school, all four of us will be camping in our new tent. But, how will we recognise everyone?
Shamrockez
28th July 2007, 20:58
Well there'll be lots of Newbies scattered about the pitch, we'll have the camper in my sig with us and there will be this monstrosity:
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a309/Shamrockez7/Other/2d32e13c.jpg
The club tent! :D It was very useful at last year's show when it tipped it down all weekend! We were all warm and dry in it :D
littlesilverbugfromwales
28th July 2007, 21:12
Ahh the beer tent! Well done that man:)
I might get a number plate done for the rear with littlesilverbugfromwales typed below the reg?
Or maybe we could get flag's printed with our usernames below the club logo?
I don't like to alter my handsome mount too much, so my bug isn't very distinctive really, the biggest mod I intend to do is a dna remap, so I need an item to identify Burty.
Shamrockez
28th July 2007, 21:24
I ain't no man! ;)
Yeah that would be cool :D
Stickers are always a nice way to personalise your car because they're not permanent if you ever want to remove them :)
1958 Harry
28th July 2007, 21:25
I'm really looking forward to this, lets hope the weathers good!!!
littlesilverbugfromwales
28th July 2007, 21:33
Oh ****, sorry Sham.
Everyone do a non-raindance. I want 40c heatwave with a slight breeze in the early evening......please god:beerchug: :beerchug: :beerchug: :beerchug:

He's a cracker BTW
Shamrockez

No he's not overly girly (bar the no plate - M16S VW), i think he'd have a fit if I covered him in pink stuff :lol:

littlesilverbugfromwales
13th August 2007, 11:28
We hope to go Friday afternoon and camp overnight, as long as I'm off work. If I have to work Friday though, we'll be there Saturday afternoon but no camping. SHE wants to go to Ikea on Sunday:(
Does anyone know if I can take the dog camping there? He's got a bad leg and I don't want to leave him overnight on his own.

I think you probably can, we are taking the puppy, so will have her cage with us so she doesnt ravvage the tent :)
Nessa
13th August 2007, 21:35
I might end up coming on my own. Boyfriend has committed to photographing the canoe polo finals (about a year ago!) I'll come hassle you and Vicky, Ian :D Only about 6 or 7 years since you last saw me!

lol, true, last time you saw me i got a parking ticket for illegally parking in Swansea! Me and Vic should be there on Sat night camping as long as the campsite isnt complete water logged, we will defo be there on Sat and Sun in the day though :) And before anyone says anything its not a skirt, its a scarf tied around my waist! :)
Shamrockez
14th August 2007, 17:04
It's a skirt you girl :p
neil76
15th August 2007, 10:57
We should be there on Friday – around 6-7pm I guess, save us a spot – no Puck anymore so big tent for us and hopefully two bugs!
Shamrockez
15th August 2007, 11:17
Puck sold?
Oooh 2 Bugs :D
Okies whoever gets there first, save a decent sized pitch. We'll prob be there around the same time as you, Neil.
Doodlebug
15th August 2007, 12:29
Me n Vic dont know if we are going to camp, the weather looks bloody shocking for the weekend, plus its gonna be tres muddy, sodding weather!
Whitebug
15th August 2007, 23:14
Take your skirt off and be a man:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: ,
I thought you native welsh would be use to the weather by now!!;)
Com'on it'll be a giggle and you will get to see IGGY on its first official outing.
Last van was Snowball bcause it was white, bubble like and tiny,
IGGY is bigger, so IGG-LOO as it has a loo.
Whitebug
15th August 2007, 23:16
Neil,
it will be good to catchup with you guys again, long time no see.

If the weathers cack I may just go for the day in the wobbly Mini, or paw printed Ka, I hope not tho as this will be pretty much Harrys last show this year :(
Shamrockez
16th August 2007, 11:03
Weather forcast is now showing light rain on Sat and sun on Sunday :)
Doodlebug
16th August 2007, 12:17
Yeah me and Vic will prob come for the day only, if Saturday is nice we will be there for the cruise! What time is the cruise?
neil76
16th August 2007, 12:52
Yup - Puck sold :( Gone to ireland we are slumming it in a tent - just didn't get used enough.
If I can sort the old bug MOT and tax before tomorrow then it will be there - for sale sadly - need a push to sell it now.
I presume we are heading for the same area as last year - on the right just as you go over the bridge? Seemed to work OK.
Do we have the party tent coming with us?
Shamrockez
16th August 2007, 12:56
Yeah Geoff and Jo have the tent. I imagine by the time any of us get there the decent places in the first field will have all gone :( so might be worth going to the 2nd field and getting a decent sized pitch in there? Bit flatter in there too I think.
Aww :( hope the Bug goes to someone who keeps in touch :)
Shamrockez
16th August 2007, 12:59

Think the cruise is 12. Assembly starts at 10ish IIRC.

All being well, we are likely to be there an hour or two before you guys as hoping to get away mid afternoon, so where are we heading??
Where we were last year was pretty uneven being in a tent (the one and only time we used our tent!!):laughing:
If the second field would be better, how do we get there? or shall we try near to where we were last time, but maybe see if we can get just a little bit further down where it leveled out?
Shamrockez
16th August 2007, 16:08
The 2nd field is at the end of the road. Go over the bridge and follow the road - can't miss it.
Go wherever you think is a good space :) Just find somewhere with enough space so we're not all squished in together with loads of other clubs etc where you can't breathe it's so tight!
neil76
16th August 2007, 18:24
Warning, 2nd field is exposed to the wind from the south west (i.e. off the sea) between the field and the sea is the steel works – if it is windy it can be a pretty unpleasant place to be ;) try and stick to the first field if we can, enough of us to clear a big space – also portaloo’s only in the 2nd field, even if you don’t use them see earlier comments re wind ;)
Shamrockez
16th August 2007, 18:56
Ok - wind = cold and stuff falling over a lot. First field it is then! :D
Good to have insider info ;)
Shamrockez
16th August 2007, 18:56
Hey Neil - you gonna be wearing a pink top this year? :D
1958 Harry
16th August 2007, 22:50
Just checked the Met Office website (most accurate for weather i've found) and it looks sunny with cloud for the whole weekend now :D :D :D
Heres the link :D http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/wl/port_talbot_forecast_weather.html
Shamrockez
16th August 2007, 23:11
Hope so - that would be ideal :D
1958 Harry
16th August 2007, 23:40
Just to let you know, we've decided to drive up early Sat morning now, as by the time we leave Fri night we won't get there until about 10pm! So gonna leave v early Sat morn - can somebody save us a decent pitch as we'll deffo be camping Sat night :D
Shamrockez
17th August 2007, 09:29
Welshies - what does the local forcast say it's going to be for the weekend? My boss recons it's going to be fairly nice, bbc website says light rain for Sat but nice for the rest of the weekend, but bbc tv says the whole thing's gonna be a wash out!
Which is right? Steve doesn't want to camp if it's raining :( :( :( :( but I really wanna go! So what's the correct forcast?
1958 Harry
17th August 2007, 09:36
I use the site I posted above - they supply everyone else with the weather forecasts, so i'd say they are probably the most correct. I don't really wanna camp if its pissing down, if its ****e tomorrow morn we'll probably just come down for the Sunday :)
1958 Harry
17th August 2007, 09:37
Just checked the Met Office site - Its changed AGAIN! Now it says wet on Sat and sunshine/showers on Sunday :(

neil76
17th August 2007, 10:28
Easy guide for S&S:
Arrive Friday – park up camp, drink be merry – help Neil clean dirty black new bug, enjoy Saturday - more merriment and the cruise. Sunday – register at S&S ‘office’ from 9-10am onwards (depending on how much Will and I drank on Sat night!), park up in a category – guided by my good self or Will – look for stupid colour t-shirts! Await for judging (that’ll be me and Will again ;) )
No different if you arrive on Saturday really – just less merriment ;)
Cruise – you have to assemble your cars in model order on the main car park I think from 10am onwards?, no worries just wait for the announcements over the loud speaker, you won’t miss it if you want to go honest!

17th August 2007, 11:02
What's the local forcast, Neil? :)
Not sure to be honest - looks like some weather coming in from the west at the moment, lots of cloud out to sea. This is forecast for tomorrow so looks like the low has moved in quicker overnight - which should leave clear weather and a building high behind it?
I am about 60 miles further west from the show though, so if it doesn't move over quickly it could hang around here all day and hit Margam tonight?
It looks like it could be a re run of last year, OK ish on Friday, some showers on Saturday and then much better on Sunday - none of which bothers me really :)
Danny - LOL :)
Shamrockez
17th August 2007, 11:16
BBC forcast now changed to sun and showers on both days with Sunday being the better day. Getting better :D

They have no clue what the weather is going to do i dont think, i gues me and Vic will prob drive down the Margam on Sat, bring the pooch and then if the weather is good for Sunday stay at the parentals.
Do we actually have a club stand for Sunday?

No - all in the S&S, you know Neil makes us! :lol: :D

forcast on BBC for Port Talbot is that it's gonna pee down tomorrow :eek:
wouldn't mind setting off early 'in da van' and having a chug down tomorrow but there's no point if it's gonna be crap weather. And we have to be back to go to an engagement party tomorrow night.
still might come down though....only been to BVF so far this summer! :D

Hiya, just been up to margam. Filling up nicely there. Daughter No1 tested out Tony's trampoline and the free face painting in the big tent.
My wife now wants a camper as she was so jelous of all the people camping, but won't use the tent because of the rain - when it comes:confused: .
Her HR-V will go:laughing:
A tdi transporter is on the cards I think, the rain won't matter then.
Weather - warm,cloudy, will probably rain a bit. Great atmosphere building at the site too:) :) :)
Good luck campers:D

My first show with Robbie too!
Geoff's gonna text us when it stops raining, then we're gonna head over (assuming it's not belting it down here at the time). Forecast shows it's suposed to come nice at around 3-4pm. Fingers crossed!

Just spoke to Geoff, apparently the campsite is pretty muddy and boggy, plus twats in 4x4's have been driving it around making it worse :( I'm in two minds whether to bother tonight now, looked at hotels, but at £63 a night not gonna bother with them! I'll see of the weather improves later, if not we'll just go for the day tomorrow, if the weather bad still tho it'll be in the Mini :(

Another update (from 15 miles down the road) It has rained all day, just stopped now (17:30) starting to brighten a little.
Take your wellies;)
Why does it always rain when you want to do something in this bloody country?:confused:

Steve and I were trying to remember if there was a show this year where it didn't rain! The only one we've been to is Stanford Hall - don't think it rained there cos we remember sitting with Luke and Gem behind Harry on the floor.
At least for most of the show tomorrow we'll be parked on tarmac and won't need to drive on the grass (if you're doing the s&s/club stand thing). Only grass we'll go on will be around the stalls. Hopefully that won't be too bad.

I drove all the way down there from Birmingham in the van yesterday (saturday). I went straight to Porthcawl and picked up the cruise before it got to the front. There was a good turnout considering the crap weather. I cruised back to the park with the intention of looking round the show for a couple of hours but to be honest, by the time I got there it was really raining again and the camping area was fast turning into a mudbath! :(
I headed off home about 4pm in the end. The journey back was cool though...
I stayed on the M4 and crossed the new Severn bridge and then all the way back up the M5 I was in a little mini convoy of vans which was great fun, never had so many smiles and waves off other cars :D
By the way....Hello to Joes 3 Bug! i was next to you in Porthcawl! ;)

Yep, nice to meet you, sorry we had to go without a chat, daughter No1 HAD to go on the trampoline. My Mrs's now wants a T4 with a big sound system and TV so we can camp in the rain and watch the bloody soaps at the same time:confused:
Robbie looks great. I like Empi alloys, I may scrounge around for some black un's to go with Burty's silver paint job though.

Could be worse things she wants :D
Thanks :) they come in silver or chrome (or did when I got mine) so you'd have to either paint or powdercoat them black - I'd reccomend the latter cos the original finish is crap and rusts so painting over it prob wouldn't stop it.
