Yes indeed

Google has me coming up the A12 after the Dartford crossing and then some of the A14. We could meet somewhere and then drive to Richards hotel together? Or just meet at Richards hotel?

I'm driving up early, so we can meet somewhere nearby. Good news, the hosepipe ban has been lifted so I might be able to clean the car before the show!

Hi, All information is in the Events UK thread. I have linked it below. The instructions are in the first post at the top, but you need to buy the tickets from their website and make sure you use our club code when booking so that you are included on the stand.

I can't make this I'm afraid 😭

Happy Birthday!

Looking at the three sockets size and shape and number of contacts, although their placement is different, the earlier ones seem to be the same. They have 1x 12 contacts (6 each side), 1x 10 contacts (5 each side) and 1x 8 contacts (4 each side). The different one being the type three which has 2x 12 contacts and 1x 10 contacts. Ive bought and sold different clusters for all of my cars over the years and until this thread had no idea that there were different versions. Every one I plugged in worked, so I must have been really lucky!

Does greater London not fall under his jurisdiction? I believe he is what's known as a metro mayor. The devolved system was setup in the 2010's and include places like Manchester and Liverpool. It gives the mayor's office devolved powers from the government to run multiple local authorities as one big authority. So I think, if I have got this right, the government gave the London mayor the devolved governmental powers to make these decisions, the councils are controlled by the mayor's office, so they couldn't argue or stop him and finally the public voting for him made him democratically chosen and able to exercise the mayor's power. If I'm right, him extending the ULEZ zone, which was set up by Boris Johnson, I think, is well within his powers as mayor and because he has governmental devolved powers, there isnt much the government can do. Short of a revolution, I can't see a way out of it. We should be more European and set cars on fire, block roads with tractors rather than mumbling and groaning in true British style and then paying the £12.50 anyway... Viva la revolution...

I feel that the environment does need to be saved, but that there are other methods that could be used. Passing a law that says all new builds must have solar panels and/or wind turbines on chimney pots would wein us off fossil fuels for producing electricity. This would help the environment. Improving public transportation OUTSIDE of London. While London has a good 24/7/365 service, our local estate only has an hourly service that only runs after 9am and before 5pm. Build it and they will come. More people on public transportation would help the environment. More education aimed from a young age to be more aware to the environment, saving electricity, not dropping litter. If everyone did their bit, we would be contributing and helping. The problem is that everyone wants everything now, look at things like Amazon prime and on-demand. This has lead to a distribution network based on the "just-in-time" philosophy. Companies order their stock as and when it's needed so you end up with lots of deliveries to warehouses and end users. If everyone was prepared to wait a week for their delivery, companies could order stock in bigger bulk and less offen meaning a reduction in actual fossil fuelled journeys. Also looking at how those goods are moved. Why are we still moving goods around on lorries when trains are much more efficient at moving big loads. The Beeching cuts in the 60's ruined out rail network, all because he owned a motorway construction company. The ideal solution would be transport via train between cities/big towns and use electric small vans to distribute around the local area. Either way nothing will change because "saving the environment" is used by government and companies to actually create more money. Revolution I say, off with their heads, then we can actually make change happen...! 😂

Happy birthday!

Great photos, although no one will come next time as they just need to wait for your photo dump! 😆

Here at Rownhams services!

Yes you are right, the EB110 did not!

I suggest we meet up somewhere before the show so I can hand these out. Any suggestions?

I have the entire kit minus the wrench on eBay. Offers welcome https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125122642202?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=gusWXwHkQve&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=gusWXwHkQve&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I have the stuff for the show. Bit strange though, we have ten wrist bands, five thank you notes and 6 vehicle passes!

You are more than welcome to join us. If you print off the pdf in the original post and take it with you, you can decide when driving in!

Popups are cool though... MK3 supra, Bugatti eb110, Ferrari F40...

I have posted up on the Facebook page but I cant meet people on the way along the A27. rought times would be: Polegate: 05:45 A27 (Hove): 06:15 M27 (Rownham Services): 06:45 - 07:15 Applemore Tesco (Southampton): 07:30 - 08:15 Beaulieu Motor Museum: 08:30 Ive given 30 mins at the services for people to meet us that would come down the M3 and 45 mins at the Tesco for people that may not be able to get out of bed early! We will leave at 08:15 strickly so that we get to the show as early as possible to avoid massive queues. See you all soon!

I love the section about the headlights. The engineers felt the 60 degree slope wouldnt work and couldnt be done.....they were right, At night they dont work! 😅

We now have a 20car stand. Let's hope people don't drop out and make me look like a mug 🫣

Well, there's a question! 22 on the Facebook event page has said they are attending plus the forum. I have increase the stand size with the organisers to 15, but I'm going to ask to increase it again to 20

Please see the original post. There is now a PDF file attached to it that you will need to download and print for access to the club stand

There is my old car on the far right!
