Phunkie -'57 MG Magnette
CopperSmith - Dutton
Manky - Ford Pop & XS650 motorcycle
Terry T - Gl1500 Trike + 4 Yanks
Twisted - a trike
Lunatic Senior - '28 model A Ford + possibly split screen camper
No BG I'm afraid - just realised I've double-booked myself and I'll be in Somerset that day - so my ticket is going spare, I can post it on to someone if needed.

No Mankymobiles either. My truck isn't together enough to move at the moment & the bike's running but not MOT'd & might be in the local bike shop for some engine work by then.
Loony's Dad has an individual display pass, but is happy to park with us if needed. So that frees up another couple of passes.

So. I've gotta ask -is this the year we finally give it a miss? Go out on a high with last year's record attendance, rather than gradually dwindling down to just a couple of us?
Terry has a bunch of American car guys who'd like to come along, but they're not members of the Manky family &, no offence to them, but I'd rather they didn't display them under the MMMotors banner if it's not Us.
It's getting harder & harder to motivate people to take part in these things & we've been a bit quiet on the project front lately. Is there a last minute rush of entrants I don't know about, or should I send Terry the remaining passes & let his guys take our place?

If I can get a new passport in time, I will try my best to come to Basingstoke this year with my old XL 600...

I think it's up to you Andy - if your vehicles aren't there it's not very MMM is it? And maybe you'd like a break from having to host the stand, either to actually see round the rest of the show or maybe to do something completely different?

I'd still go along & support the show, but must admit, after 13 years of the website & our pitch there, it would be nice to go as a normal punter, with no responsibilities  Not necessarily the end for us at the Basingstoke show, but it does seem like we should take a break. Projects are a bit thin on the ground here this year &, speaking purely personally, I'd rather go out on last year's high, than gradually dwindle down to 2 or 3 of us sat in a gazebo Would anyone seriously object? -if we're not doing it I need to get the vehicle passes sent off to Terry & have a quiet word with my mate who's one of the organisers, just to check they'd be O.K with us sub letting our pitch, (I suppose they wouldn't know -still vehicles in our place, there just wouldn't be a MMMotors banner). |

Right, I've spoken to most on the list, but haven't heard from Craig or Steve, (Twisted & CopperSmith). Can you let me know your plans please guys. Lunatic Senior already has a pass for the individual entrants in the other show field & Phunkie has one of our passes & is happy to park with Terry's crew. Bobbi, can you post your pass to Terry please & I'll send him the remaining ones. Looks like you're in charge of parking this year Tel! |

No cakes! Well that's it then. Sounds like a good turn out Terry even if the MMM banner isn't going up. Hopefully I'll be there. Everything crossed anyway. Let's hope the weather is good and the show is its usual success. Perhaps others might decide to come on the day. |
