French car show - 5th June 2011

[CountryBumpkin.]

I won't be travelling very far anyways :rasp:. It was a little light reading before bed

 

[Brian]

You mean you're using it as a door-stop!

 

[CountryBumpkin.]

it's too expensive to be used as a door stop. a coaster would be more accurate :rasp:


I did read it though. It was very factual.

 

[Brian]

I only looked at the pictures

Same as me

 

[CountryBumpkin.]

Same as me

soo true lol.

 

[todd100]

so when is everyone going down? saturday > stay overnight > up early clean car > go to rockingham > get on stand > drive home sunday night?

 

[sbridgey]

might come if i can get my car finished and my dad might come with me to get some camera practice in before he goes to slovenia

 

[Brian]

so when is everyone going down? saturday > stay overnight > up early clean car > go to rockingham > get on stand > drive home sunday night?

I will travel up some time on the saturday, visit our 'area' at the show for some strategic setting out in preparation for sunday, then back to a near by hotel for food and bed. Then wake up stupidly early on sun for the show. After several hours parking cars, talking to lots of nice (and probably some not so nice) ClioSport members and selling the odd bit of merchandise. I will head back home and look forward to a lay-in on monday morning (which i've already booked off work)

 

[Will.]

Still need help Brian?

 

[Brian]

Yeah, I think so. Is that you saying you'll help?

 

[Will.]

Can I be really hungover?

 

[Brian]

Sure, as long as you can still legally drive or be driven and walk. And coherently instruct people where to park?
As write this, I can see 'disaster' already!

Pleased to see you survived karting the other day, I nearly told Seb to start looking for your replacement in preparation

 

[Will.]

I'l be alright. I don't get hangovers badly.

Yh I survived. I sucked, but when I realised this, I spent the time getting the back end out for the LOLs. No one could replace me in the SW

 

[Scott™]

My first year as a rep this year so don't really know what is expected of me. But I also offer services to help Brian.

 

[jenic]

I'm going to go down on the day, try and get a convoy together like last year.

If anyones coming from NE/Yorkshire/Easy Midlands watch out for the thread in the yorkshire section that i'll put up closer to the time

 

[Clio1416]

You will need to buy direct from the FCS website, ticket sales go live this month, when filling in your details make sure you select 'cliosport' as your chosen club and you will get sent the necessary car pass.

Re: French car show 2011

cheers

 

[Brian]

To all the Area Rep's offering to help etc. I will stick a thread in your sub forum nearer the time, so please look out for it.

 

[Will.]

More like guilted into it Only joking, I'l keep a look out.

OH thanks for the super speedy delivery btw. Have the flyers got bigger?

 

[Brian]

LOL

They are bigger yes, but only by error. Same price though, so we'll survive

 

[Revels]

This is where we differ :approve:

 

[harry602]

How do you go about going out on the track in your own car?

 

[Brian]

You will be able to book track time on the Fcs website, when ticket and track time booking becomes available (very soon)

LOL Dan, I think we should set some sales targets!

 

[harry602]

How much is it to go on there? When you go on, do you have plenty of time after track time or before when you book a day on the track?

 

[jenic]

How much is it to go on there? When you go on, do you have plenty of time after track time or before when you book a day on the track?

Its s**t, book a proper day imo

You dont get much time in a session, by the time you've had your out lap you only get a couple in before your coming in again.

 

[jesus]

Are non-French cars still welcome on track? :rasp:

 

[harry602]

Ah right, I'll leave it then, it would be my first time out on track anyway. Only got a 1.6 aswell, where's a decent place to go for a first trackday?

 

[jesus]

It'll be my first time on track too, and I've got a 1.4. Who gives a s**t!? Get on :rasp:

 

[harry602]

lol well atleast there will be someone there slower than me! im going to look into doing it. should be a laugh!

 

[gti6steve]

I'm up for this never been before

 

[jesus]

lol well atleast there will be someone there slower than me! im going to look into doing it. should be a laugh!

I wouldn't say slower :rasp:

 

[harry602]

Anyone going down on the Saturday and travel lodging it?

 

[jesus]

Hopefully me, going down with the North East lot if so.

 

[harry602]

Ah right cool, which travel lodge you staying in?

 

[jesus]

[harry602]
