||
| club sec |
All being well the PUG will be available, no other events that weekend. | ||
| slippy |
I reckon I could possibly twist Funbob's arm to get the mini there especially as it will be up for sale shortly 
|
||
| slippy |
Would happily bring the Clio over but will they be of interest as they are not historics 
|
||
| steaallan |
clioClio would be fine as we are trying to get a wide variety of vehicles as it is a promo event for the club, to show what we do and who we are.still a long time to go so we will see what we r able to get there thankyou |

We will need a large gazebo, generator, TV(S) and DVD players, Wall boards, flyers, display cars and signage explaing what they are and what they are used for, claub banners, rope and stakes to keep hands off the cars, supplies of food and drink for the helpers, ideally we could perhaps do with a slideshow on a laptop (bit risky that one)! | ||
| steaallan |
you could always put a slide show onto a dvd so that would sort security out How many vid /tvs are we planning on Banners food stakes and tape etc all as standard | ||
| steaallan |
historic rallyHad a word with Dave from teside karting and getting a Nice shiny Kart will be no problem and i will also get approx 300 leaflets to co-promote the autodrome to be fair as we do get free advertising at there centre |
||
| Gav Taylor |
I have a great video editing program called ProShow Gold that I can give to people (email) I used it to make my WRC Sweden Video. Maybe Col could use it to cobble together the best bits of his footage from the sprint last sat? (on a tangent)
I can also knock up some flyers etc if required. |
||
| club sec |
You obviously are not aware of Skodamans computer knowledge then! God knows what he has done but the files on the DVD are incompatible with virtually all software known to man! | ||
| steaallan |
if he can make it then pass it on to me i should be able to convert it so it will play on any dvd | ||
| club sec |
No, no you misunderstand, the disc plays I just can't get the files off to put on t'internet.
Anyway, I see the signs are up and looking good, you must be on good tems with Teesside. |
||
| Gav Taylor |
good work Ste, do you get much grip with slicks on grass I wonder?? 
|
||
| steaallan |
slicksonly if you like doing figure of eights erm sounds good |
||
| slippy |
Ste if there is room we could bring the Clio and our sponsors big Bling van complete with bling bling paint job, alloys body kit etc etc | ||
| Gav Taylor |

| slippy |
No just his company name and number etc | ||
| steaallan |
the clio would be great if you can text me your number asap i will give you a call to sort out time and info for you 07789642956

||
| slippy |
Sorry Ste just seen your post, one thing to bare in mind is the car won't be fixed by the weekend so will still be sporting dents and complete with Otterburn Peat bog finish
|
||
| steaallan |
that is very good the way it is supposed to be it will look the part we have a track lotus elise coming and it is still supporting a cracked bumper so you will fit nicely next to it | ||
| Gav Taylor |
its going to look like crash bandicoot the way its going Ste!
|
||
| steaallan |
Sorry gav but at least we will be giving the club support. Will you be up out of your pit  
|

|
||
| Gav Taylor |

|
||
| slippy |
Aye probably, would not fancy sitting in the silly seat personally but each to there own | ||
| Gav Taylor |

| slippy |
To true, not knocking them mate but must take a lot of trust | ||
| Gav Taylor |
bet its a step up for him from guiding you round the council estates of boro in a hotwired nova gte runing from the police!!
|
||
| steaallan |
i have to admit when i was in the silly seat as you call it For the Sadly missed Dave Plews i loved it Although i did feel like a milk shake afterwards i was just really glad he had good tight seats to keep me in place | ||
| steaallan |

| club sec |
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth not silver like Slippy. | ||
| Gav Taylor |
wasnt even afforded that luxury, I got one of those little wooden forks you get from chippys | ||
| club sec |
Is this where you were born?
|
||
| steaallan |
nah thats where he used to go on holiday | ||
| club sec |
Aye, anywhere's better than Aycliffe.
Twinned with Beirut, Kabul and Basra. |
||
| steaallan |

||
| club sec |
I live in Norton don't you know. | ||
| Gav Taylor |
you cant polish a turd mate
|
||
| club sec |
Nor would I try. I can't help it If Duncan Banntyne lives a couple of hundred yards away, he obviously has money and taste.
Norton is like Yarm but for people with sense as well as money. |
||
| slippy |
Norton is nice IMO
|
||
| Gav Taylor |
Norton is no Yarm 
though beyond doubt better than aycliffe |

Dropped the Clio off tonight with Steve Allen, Jo The Waiter and crew. Rest assured I clocked the current mileage as they were joking they would be taking it for a 'test drive' once we had gone
Fair play to the boys they are there pedalling the club on our behalf so I will try and get across Saturday or Sunday dependng on the weather as we have visitors this weekend and I doubt they would enjoy walking round Preston Park in the pissing rain
|
||
| Gav Taylor |
how did the event go then lads? | ||
| slippy |
Just spoke to Steve to arrange collection and he said it went pretty well, apparently there were a big group of hot chicks asking were you were Gav
|
||
| Gav Taylor |
aye, they probably wanted some child support cash!! | ||
| club sec |
I heard they were there as a challenge to turn you straight. | ||
| steaallan |
Thank youI would like to say a Big thank you to everyone who helped out or loaned there vehicle for the show this weekend all your help was very much appreciated. Everything seemed to go pretty well luckily no hitches apart from the 1/2 hour of rain we had about 2:30pm this afternoon. And also now we have our lucky winner for the final driver place for the 24hr kart race on the 23rd-24th august
More will follow in the newsletter later And once more Thank you very much Event organiser |

I've shaved that beard off now to stop people recognising me .....
Good job to all who helped man the show last weekend - the pitch looks very impressive on the photos with a WIDE range of cars (and kart) on display. Glad to hear you didn't gat the same severe rain that we got at 3pm on Sunday in S. Yorks. - it was a tropical downpour for 45 mins (one of the dangers of living "darn sarf") |
||
| club sec |
I got caught in it whilst sat in traffic at Wetherby when the bridge demolition overran by hours and hours. | ||
| steaallan |
Thank you dave it was a good event i was just glad it ran smoothly we did have a bit of rain about 2:30 but it only lasted 20-30 mins on sunday apart from that red hot | ||
| club sec |
As demonstrated by Dave's red face. |
||
| steaallan |
my neck is still a bit sore makes my milk bottle body look even whiter than usual | ||
