    Static Displays 2017

    FINAL DIRECTIONS FOR JOINING

     

     

    Hi there!

     

    Thanks for registering your vehicle for static display at Motofest 2017.

     

    Here are a few final joining details which we want to clarify to make sure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable event.

     

    DRIP TRAYS are mandatory! Please bring something along to put under the car, just in case.

     

    As you arrive we will be need to do a quick check under the bonnet, inside and in the boot before you can park up.

    Please make sure keys are not left in your car at any time

    Please be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to a Motofest team member.

     

    TIME:

    You can arrive from 07:30 hours each day, but access to Broadgate will be closed at 09:30 hours. We do have plenty of display spaces near the Broadgate. You will be directed to one of these areas in the event that Broadgate is full.

     

    If you park in the Broadgate we would ask that you be prepared to stay all day until joining the Coventry BID Classic parade laps at 17:00 hours (5pm). If you are unable to do this please ask a Marshall to park outside the Broadgate upon your arrival.

     

    LOCATION:

    Please head for Little Park Street, which is located just off junction 5 of the Ring Road. Satnav CV1 2JZ. The ring road is closed, but some of the junctions still remain open to get you into the city.

    Once on Little Park Street one way section, classic vehicles will be directed into the High Street to be parked within the Broadgate initially.

    Classic parking is on a first come first served basis so please try to arrive early to ensure a parking space. We have planned as much space as possible, and will endeavour to get you parked up and on show. However we are in a city centre location, so we have limited space and cannot guarantee a parking spot.

    When you arrive, you will be handed a display pass. Please ensure that you display the pass in your vehicle.

    If you are involved in the sprint circuit display, please follow the instructions sent out by the MotoFest Race Director

    .

    DIRECTIONS:

    We recommend that if you have an Android or Apple smartphone download and use the Waze app for directions to Little Park Street, Coventry, CV1 2JR. They have created special maps for the event weekend which will get you around the road closures.

     

    You can get the app here: https://www.waze.com/

     

    CLUBS ONLY:

    If you are part of a club stand display, follow the instructions provided by your club representative.

    For your club location please refer to the email which Neil sent out.

    Please print the location map sent to you, and bring it along!

    Due to the need to search the display cars in Broadgate, wont have as many volunteers available to help you park up. Can we therefore ask all clubs to work together to make your displays work. Thank you!

    Don't forget DRIP TRAYS!

     

    OTHER STUFF:

    Please be aware that we cannot accommodate support vehicles and trailers in the display areas, so take that into account if you are planning to trailer your classic vehicle for display.

     

    Pre-registration is NOT required to bring a classic vehicle along, so please spread the word if any friends decide to come along at the last minute.

     

    The MotoFest team look forward to welcoming you to Coventry MotoFest and thank you for your continued support in celebrating Coventrys automotive past, present and future. If you have any questions please email me at displays@coventrymotofest.com

     

    Regards

  2. There is a Ford Skeleton key that can be bought on the Internet. Ford vans all over the country are getting done apparently

    Thats why I am fitting dead locks to rear doors and side loading door. not to bothered about the cab as even with the scumbag key they cant start it

  3. some of you will know that scumbags helped them selves to a load of tools out of my van during the day outside a customers house. The van was locked I have since found out from others that they are buying a key or remote fob that just unlocks your van ( and car i suppose). If you have a van and carry tools please consider fitting separate dead locks.

  4. If it's not fitted they can't test it so can't fail it. What year was car registered? Was it a requirement at time of registration? If they were not required at that time I would challenge the tester to show you in black and white reason for failing

  5. Can I just say what a fantastic club Rhocar is Helen was so relaxed around all the club member on Sunday night at stoneleigh she took off her wig. Better still she went swimming tonight with no wig or swim hat. Thank you all
