When is Donington On?

[mrmaggit]

Self explanatory, really. I mean the Kit-Car Show, of course.

[Ex-Biker]

Donington Kit Car show 4-5th September

Who's going?

[ferg]

I will DEFINATELY be there on the Saturday......possibly Sunday too.

[mrmaggit]

Bugger, I'm in Dorset that weekend.

[meeja]

IIRC There is only track day action on the Saturday..... so I will probably be going on the Sat rather than the Sunday as I did last year.

[spartan_andy]

I shall be going on sunday as I have a friend who wants to go but can only make sunday. Might see you there ferg if you make it sunday. Give me a ring on my mobile, i'll try and remember to take it with me this time. Hopefully see italo there as well he said he would be going both days.

Perhaps I can introduce him to John Butler and referee the fight

[Ex-Biker]

Hope to there both days, but her in doors might have other ideas about this.

Definately Saturday.

Ferg I guess you'll be at Team GTM?

If anyone wants my mobile no, email me.

[nobbybombshell]

PH members come up and say hello, spare a thought for me (and bring over a black coffee no sugar) as i will be working both days on the British American stand. looking forward to seeing some track action though if i can.

[BADCOLO]

Really what are you going to be doing there nobbybombshell?

[nobbybombshell]

I will be in the swimsuit laying on the hood

[BADCOLO]

OH DEAR!!!!!! I really dont know what to say about that nobbybombshell,...... Sounds like you're going there for pleasure and not bussiness. I'd say you would make a big impression but honestly ....... Lets be real.

[nobbybombshell]

Probably make a big impression on the hood mate

[BADCOLO]

as long as you dont damage the hood I guess you are free to show your inner self if you please

[ferg]

I'm only there Saturday, Andy, well, Friday night as well!
Ask for me if you find TeamGTM, Meeja,Italo, we're at the Melbourne Loop I believe.
Mark, you have my 'phone number....

[fuoriserie]

Sorry guys I can't make, I really wanted to, but work and other problems are preventing me from coming.

I wanted to meet all you guys and a few others..............but I guess it will be at the next major show.

I'll be waiting for your feedback on the new cars, enjoy and have fun on the track!!!!!!!!

Cheers

Italo

Hmmmm....more manufacturers than at Newark, but otherwise little to see. Kit-cars stuffed away on a tiny little general camping field, because the old fields are now home to compounds of bl**dy Jap Import 'penis extension' 4X4s and MPVs awaiting SVA. Farcical noise testing for the trackday. Camping toilets that (apart from being woefully small) packed up producing water when the generator failed. No flushing......
Priority areas for Cobras and Sevens (OK maybe paid for, but it hardly promotes 'the industry'). Kit drivers charged to get in.... maybe that makes sense 'cos we weren't contributing to the show....unless visitors stumbled across us hidden away.

Poor, very poor.

You're not the only one Ferg! I was there Saturday and Sunday, camping over on the Saturday night. This is my third Donington and was the worst one I've ever been to.

In fact a lady came over to us on Sunday morning from the Dutton Owners club with a partition to complain about the crap organisation and facilities. And the lack of running water and toilets with bog roll was totally unaccaptable! Not to mention this is the ONLY kit-car show where you have to pay even in a kit car.

I think a letter/email to the organises is in order....
