Newark Show

[philshelton]

I'm hoping to make it to the Newark show, unfortunately not in my Hoodie - next year. I'll be coming with a list of bits I need and the Passat to get them back to Scotland.

 

Is the Auto jumble usually quite good? And if I need new side panels for my 2b would I be best to order them in advance, I've got mild steel ones that are at the shot blasters. He's had them since August last year and I can't really remember how useable I thought they would be .

 

Will I be able to use the camping even though I'll be in my Passat? So far youngest son can't be presuaded that a night in the tent is equivalent to his big brother getting to go to the (Fantastic) Classic Car Show in Shetland several years ago .

would think if you want any think like side panels it would be best to gove richard a ring at GBS so he can bring them with him

HI Angus,

 

if your camping over, then yes you can enter through the trade/kitcar entrance and camp without problem,

 

I would order the side panels. any large items are best order for pick up, and if you have a big shopping list some of the traders will offer a discount to members too (that full members not just forum users)

 

see you there,

Just ordered my tent & kit , will arrive while I am on holiday.

 

Wife didn't put up any resistance to us camping over (haven't told her it's for 2 nights)

 

I am bringing No1 helper,(third daughter), and can then take lots of photos any pick brains for longer than a day trip.

Thanks just been looking at halfords site and they dont look too bad.

They have a set for £65.00 ish, and I have a blowup bed (dont ask) in the garage I could use.

 

Not sure if I will like the sleeping on the floor thing as I have a sort of travelodge/premier inn type of body!!

 

Still if there is lots of drinking and eating to be done well maybe...........

Asda are doing a set too....about £30 for smallish 3 man tent (i'd say two) two sleeping bags . Not sure on quality but might do as a starter set to see if you can sleep in one

Not long got back from camping in East Berlin.... Yes!!! East Berlin..! it was an old soviet training and relaxation base

in a big park in the city center. (http://www.tentstation.de)

We used these pop up tents that are amazing if you cant be bothered with pitching. They really do take 2 seconds

maybe 3 (that was the one we had)

to put up and are double skinned and totally waterproof.

 

Best camping gadget ever
