Basingstoke Festival of Transport 2011

Appreciate that Cabby. Need a definite yes from someone though.

That'd be cool. We usually get allocated a fixed size pitch & it's up to us how we fill it. Not managed to create a tidy display yet -it always descends into a jumble of machines parked all over the place, so the more we get, the closer together we'll have to put them, that's all.

Looking for transport to get our own vehicles from Guildford to Basingstoke on the day by the way, (about 40 miles each way). Probably have to rent a big trailer, but will need someone with a decent sized car/truck to tow it. Can anyone help?

what vehicles are you thinking of taking to basingstoke Andy

[Manky Monkey]

Umm, all of 'em!
Might leave the 2 trikes behind this time as we've shown them several times -& they're still not finished.
So probably Taz's Dodge Charger, my Pop truck, plus my XS650 Yam' bobber project.

[Manky Monkey]

Just received the entry tickets in the post. Just photo-copied cards. I applied for 25 of them, but if it's the same as previous years, we can ask for more up to a couple of days beforehand, though we won't get a bigger pitch -so if lots of you want to come along, we'll just have to park tidier that's all. Tickets have to be shown on the gate when you arrive. Our normal routine is for entrants to give us a shout when they arrive & we'll bring a ticket up to the gate for you, (saves 'em being lost in the post, left at home etc). The marshals are usually pretty laid back though & often just wave you through if you say you're wiv da Monkeys.
I challenge anyone to organise the vehicles into a proper display this year -I try every time & it never works!

Having vehicle logistics problems with our fleet of unfinished projects.
Got no viable way of getting Taz's Charger there -just can't afford to rent a trailer that big for a weekend & haven't got anything to tow it with anyway. That also counts out our 2 trikes which are in the same storage barn in Surrey as the Charger.
Still trying to find someone who can pick my Pop up from the workshop in Basingstoke & transport it across town to the showsite. Can anyone help?
So looks like it'll be my Pop if we can get it there, plus my XS650 chop project, which will hopefully be a rolling frame by then.

Andy, as per our half conversation at monkeyworld today, I'm working hard at trying to get the van finished in time, but the paint has 'stalled' at the primer stage at the mo, fingers crossed it'll be done tomorrow, but if not then I'll be on the Bandit!!!

[Manky Monkey]

No problem.

[Manky Monkey]

Been searching for weeks for someone with a trailer & towing vehicle to run my Pop project from Loony's workshop, across Basingstoke to the show field.
Hopefully it's sorted now & we're going to hitch a lift on a recovery truck. Ash isn't a forum member but he's a regular at the workshop & races a Toyota Supra driftcar, which we've shown in the "What's in the workshop today Loony?" thread.
Assuming there's no last minute problems, he'll bring both my Pop & the Supra along on the 8th.
PD's been looking for a project to play with in his shed & my XS650 Yam's just been sat in my shed gathering dust, so I've farmed it out to him to build.
Come along & see how far he's got.
I'd better get some more vehicle passes.

B****x B****x B****x!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This has crept up on me, I honestly thought I had a few weeks to go for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I may not be able to make it now too many things happening round here at the moment. Will give a definite answer later in the week. Damn damn damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Manky Monkey]

D'oh!
I've asked for a few more vehicle passes from the organisers, just in case, & they've told me we should have an extra 20 feet of frontage on our pitch this year. So room for a few more if you've got a vehicle you'd like to show.
