nick, your idea re the rhocar membership cards at the gate......I wouldn't hold out much hope because we have all kinds of clubs going to the show....and if you start something with one club (even though I'm a member)....they all want to do it and it just causes tears and tantrums! Also because of the large size of the show, we need to know how many exhibits etc..are booked in to enable site plans, emergency routes, club plots etc...all to be plotted out before the event. Jethro....the sooner you can get in touch with allen then the better......I just think this might work!!

me.....lol

club stands are free....it's only trade stands which have to pay. If someone from RHOCAR wants to organise a club stand at the RH end, then they need to contact Allen Eaton on 01604 505422 or 07802 570 590 and arrange directly with Allen (he'll need a rough idea of space / number of RH's). Who ever speaks to Allen or his misses Jane, to make thing's easier and possibly more favourable to rhocar just mention that "derby-dave's lad" has introduced the club to Hollowell. It's important to remember that all exhibitors must send off the entry form by 30th may. Hollowell will send out in the post your entry passes, camping passes, car pass etc...as without these you will not be let through the gate!

I'm shamlessly promoting this......if you can make it it is a great weekend!! It's already posted in events, but here's the link again... http://www.hollowellsteam.com/ entry form on the site to download and closing date is 30th may. After spending this weekend with the s.york mob....you'd feel right at home!

awsome weekend.....glad to put faces to the names and really nice to meet you all!!!! I can't wait for newark.....traction engine there for the first time? I'm sure the show organiser's "Mr. Health and Safety" will love a roaring coal fire next to all that petrol!!! Mark....if that supercharger is too big, you can have my electric air bed pump!

I know it is dan........I have to endure a lot more from the steam engine boys!!! I'm really looking forward to meeting up with everyone in the club and I can tell my ribs are gonna be sore with laughing so much!!! roll on sunday!!!!!!!!!!!

I believe you mark....i mean.....it's not as though this thread was only 2 pages long before I posted a few questions and mr.shaft and mr.lofield started the abuse!! this wkend is def gonna be fun

what I meant was she prefers the caravan we use for steam rallies...but draws the line at a tent oh the pi33 take is gonna be fun this wkend....

igloo

she's been 3 or 4 times albeit not camping......but her job means she cant this year...and anyway I dnt think she's not too keen on camping in a tent either!

pmsl!!!! I would be dragged home by me sphericals before the gates even open!!

me thinks too.....she's getting her pound of flesh tomorra....hang mirror, polyfiller spare bedroom, curtain rail..the list is endless!

she has assured me that you must have been hearing things after suffering a tea-cake overdose

give over! you was there when the pass was issued by swmbo.....sunday-monday

Already thought about buying a chair there....and owt else i may end up needing. Wots the earliest time they let kit cars in?

Just dug out my camping chair and it is knackered! and i have no cooker! Doh I will just have to take a load of porkpies, sausage rolls and biscuits.....im sure i'll.manage. I will keep my hat tame!

Under the wise guidence of Nick and Dan, they have persudaded my misses to let me camp on Sunday night with you guys. It's not my first time to Stoneleigh, but it's the first time camping there and also as a RHOCAR member. I'm looking forward to meeting you all!!! My plan is to bring; small tent (+sleeping stuff) tarpulin (as the RH has no roof) food, beer and toiletries. Owt else I need to know or bring?

I have decided to post this to see if anyone would be interested; KIT CARS ARE NEEDED!!!! The guy who is in charge of organising this event is a close family friend and my dad and I have been involved in the running of this event every year for the last 15 or so years. It is an amazing weekend, and each year it just gets bigger and better and the "steam and heavy horse" aspect of the show now only represents about 40% of the entire show as there are loads of different things to see, do and buy....and there is plenty of things a car enthusiast would find interesting (classic cars, american cars, millitary vehicles etc..etc...). Because this show isn't advertised as well as it could be, my RH sits in the show amonst 3 or 4 other kit cars...but I hope this year we can do better than that!!! If anyone would be interested in coming to this weekend and showing their RH, I would highly recomend it and camping makes the whole weekend excellent!!! The exhibitors forms are avalible to download from the site and the closing date is the 30th May. Just have a look....(the gallery photo's and videos only scratch the surface of the many things that turn up for the weekend!!) http://www.hollowellsteam.com/index.php

I agree........I did the tie bar conversion this winter and it has transformed the front end grip!!!

bit a polyfiller and the valve will be as good as new!

fingers crossed!!! It would be sad not to see it there! What you going to do to prevent it happening again?

It is loads smoother than it was before, and it has good power right up to 6500. You can feel more power coming in around 3000 rpm, but still smooth. When the guy rang me and said £200 I was happy, but when I found out it was + VAT (£240), I was less happy!! I would still have done it though knowing it would have been £240 because it has transformed the car.

I know it is a bit "old skool" but could you use a colortune just to do a check on the mixture in each pot?

you would need a bigger hole in your bonnet too!!!
