Car is literally in pieces.

[David-Ti]

Well mine runs, goes left, right and stops. Just need to do it legally and then I have no excuses.

[Geo_coupe]

Ill aim for this, got a rover in one piece for the 1st time in a few years!

[warnzee]

How does POL work? as in, can you just turn up in you Rover and get directed into the show field, do you have to contact the event organisers and get accepted, be part of a pre-booked club stand?

Been to a bunch of shows that all operate in different ways with different cars over the years and don't want to assume and end up in general parking after a spending a week polishing (nevermind the months of work required before it's worth polishing...).

Drive to park
Join queue
Find a suitable place to park of your choice

Then wonder what vinnys excuse will be for not bringing his 220 gsi nasp

[Marty]

I'm sure Vinny offered me a lift so I've not be able to come yet as I can hardly park a VW there and he not been for a while [emoji38]

I'll be their in my t16 brm, I'll be going up in convoy with the other brms, I did wanna get the gti turbo done in time but it's not likely

[Din]

I am debating this tbh, my rather dented ZS may not be a showcar lol, but i don't think i have been since 2012 either.

[BlueRover]

Last year I was doing the headgasket before the MOT (due April 16th !) so I'll probably get the MOT done a month early this year and allowing for a little welding to be done, I hope to be there.

[wayno]

I went in 2014 i think in my 220, couldnt park with the other coupes and it rained most the day which was unlucky, probably the worst car show iv been to, nothing going on at all as far as entertainment goes a few tents selling crap and people didnt seem that friendly only an old fella with a brg maestro turbo who i had a good chat with, i love the cars but half hour and uv seen it all, shame theres not a bit more going on really, some simulators for some racing competition, hot food and some scantely clad girls would be a good start in the right direction

You've got the total wrong end of the stick , this is what POL is all about

[1994 BRG Coupe]

some scantely clad girls would be a good start in the right direction

You could always bring a few along yourself

You swine

[Geo_coupe]

I've just read about needing a number for model specific parking areas this year, is that just for clubs? Don't want to trek all the way down there then get lumped away in the outskirts somewhere!

[james3990]

Link?

I doubt that will work anyway

[Geo_coupe]

Its on the POL faceache page James, don't know how to link to it sorry. No letter/ number on the dash your in the general area apparently

[1234dist]

unless you display a club number you will be sent to the general area.

200 oc is number 3 through gate 2.

Map to come on monday
