Basingstoke Festival of transport 10th May 2009

[tazet]

As these 2 have said it sounds like a good idea but we will have to put a barrier up around it. Same with Daves car we'll have to have a zone around the car void of public and puppies when he starts it up.

LOL...puppies 

[tbone]

Polish it ? gotta get it running first  . I`ll know for sure by mid week if my shift swap request has happened or not so will let you know when i know. Yep, i thought of a frame around 3 feet tall, tall enough to see, but not to tall. I have access to some of those metal crowd barriers, the low ones, so if it goes to plan, i`ll bring 4 with me to box it in. Gotta keep the health n safety executive happy  . Am working the next few days so time will be against me,we`ll see.

LOL...puppies 

Yes a lady with her puppy walked right past the exhausts of the original Black Pig just as Steve started it. I spotted it but half a second too late and just as I shouted stop it was too late the car fired up and the poor puppy was absolutley petrified. It was no ones fault but I still picture it and feel for the poor little thing. I know Dave still thinks about it too and we do not want a repeat of that this year so a barrier and firing up times will be displayed.

Alright TB, if not polished, how about painting the rocker cover a funky colour, (Halfords do a range of marble & metalflake aerosol paints for push bikes), or knocking up a crazy twisty exhaust or something? Have a word with Lunatic -he bought Toad's old trike project, which came with a part finished supercharger set-up.
Huge crash barriers might be a bit over the top, but Taz uses white tapes to divide up her fields at work so they can put several groups of horses in one field. Something like that would probably be enough -especially if she borrows the electrified ones! 

[trikerpete]

so, what time are you getting to the show ground?

Got another car for the show. Dave 2 Lanes' mate, Steve, is bringing along his injected Chevy engined pro-street Rover 100.
Still got a few places to fill guys & some question marks to confirm.

[Manky Monkey]

Just been told the XS1100 Yamaha trike Byzax built will be there, kindly brought along by it's owner Chris. Those who saw our pitch at the last Shepton Mallet show will have seen it almost complete. It's big n black & gorgeous. Also 2 of Jacko's mates are bringing along their trikes, A Chevy V8 & a VW respectively. Sorry, didn't catch their names.

As 'Voodoo Overload' has just PASSED it's MoT I'd like to confirm I'll be there!! Where and when do you want me!?!?!?

Clive

[Manky Monkey]

That's great Clive! Well done. Bet you're chuffed! Just in time for the glorious heatwave Summer I'm told we're going to get. 
Triker Pete posted this link to the Memorial Park in Basingstoke where the show's taking place.

We can send you a photo copied map if you need one, (PM us your address). Not sure what time the organisers will be onsite, but we're aiming to be there by around 8.o.clock on Sunday morning. We've got some running about to do, trailering a couple of vehicles from various places, but someone should be there. Nobody's ever kept a check on who comes & goes before but this year they're asking that every vehicle on the show field has a vehicle pass -just a photo copied ticket. We've been issued with 20. It's a council health & safety thing apparently. If we had more than 20 vehicles on the day we could re-use the tickets -who's going to check? The 3 we're bringing along are all unfinished, unregistered projects, so if we had to we could argue they don't need vehicle passes. It's not normally that official -it's run by genuine vehicle enthusiasts so I'm sure they'll turn a blind eye if necessary.
Between now & the end of the week we'll PM or email everyone our mobile numbers so just give us a ring when you arrive & someone will nip up to the gate with a ticket for you.
It's no big deal -just turn up, park up & enjoy the day. All show vehicles need to be onsite by 10.30am at the latest ready for the 11.o.clock opening. Officially the show runs till 5pm.

We've now got 2 extra passes, so 22 in total. 3 left to fill.
Panthershaun, TonyB & Tbone- any of you guys coming & if so, are you bringing anything along with you to show? Need to know soon please. Still waiting to hear from Perry as to whether he's managed to rebuild the engine on his '55 Chevy Belair. If anyone else fancies bringing a vehicle down to Hampshire to show off to the assembled masses for the afternoon, let us know as soon as poss please. Unfinished projects most welcome, but obviously you'll need to arrange your own transport.
