CS @ PFC Expo Donington 12/10/2014

[Chip-mk1]

I've read on another forum that there is no track time or anything like that?

Correct, its just a static show.

Noisey days are very limited at donno.

 

[ben_r1]

Just ordered my tickets, looking forward to it. Last show for the Meg before hibernation!

Nice one mate! Look forward to seeing you there

 

[Ghosty0101]

You are both more than welcome to join our stand!

 

[Ghosty0101]

Why thank you noble sir!

 

[chris_pett]

Received my tickets today the car pass says were outside is this correct?

 

[leeds_182]

I think the rallye stand is inside. The only downside is that you have to be there for 8am, have no more than a 1/4 tank of fuel and can't leave until 1700.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Our stand is just outside the main event area.

 

[Ben]

If my car is on the stand, does that mean it's penned in all day or will I be able to take off home if I get bored halfway through?

You won't get bored mate. We have a few little surprises up our sleeves. If they come off you definitely won't be bored.

But I do believe that outside stands won't be restricted from leaving early.

 

[Mr R.]

This annoys me a little, I think it looks terrible to the CS club stand when people take there car's away early.

Look at CSS, the amount of cars that left early (ok it wasn't the best event) but still.
I think if you want to show off your car on the club stand then you should be willing to keep it on the for the whole day.

It seems imo like people only want to get there car on the stand for the ease of parking and not so much supporting the club.
I want my car on the stand and will be there all day, im sure you wouldn't get people taking there cars away half way through a Ford RS meet.

Rant over.

Pole dancer's?

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Pole dancer's?

lol not a chance! Not unless you want me to do it?

 

[Mr R.]

I love you.

Just not that much.

 

[not normal dan]

My tickets have just dropped through the door

 

[smiffyboy]

My tickets arrived today!

 

[Reed67]

I have my tickets today! I to have a outside parking pass. So I'm assuming I'm going to arrive for 7.15 and park at our area? I'm sure the stewards will point me in the right direction.. Lol

 

[Dan...]

What sort of time is everyone on the Cs stand planning to arrive?

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Us Admin will be there bright and early. Join us for a coffee if you want to get in early doors

 

[Tommo.]

Just booked my tickets, looking forward to it

I'm guessing this is aimed at me. And I understand and agree with your point completely, but could you also not argue that the Club housing other brands of vehicle (mine will be a Ford) could look bad to the club?

Not at all mate. CS is more than just about clio's these days. It says a lot about this forum that people keep coming back despite moving away from Clio's. It really matters not what cars our members turn up in. It's all about being part of the club and having a social one.

We will have a huge sheet up to hide non Clio's behind anyway

 

[Mr R.]

Hey mate, it wasn't aimed at you. After me going to CSS (this year and last year) i was a little bit shocked to see how many people just drove off when they felt like it.

Yes you have a point about stands having other makes of cars on it, imagine going to a RS show and seeing a Renault. Just wouldn't happen.

However its a tough call for CS as there are so many members with other makes of car.

I also don't see it being fair if people want to put there car on a stand, then that stand becoming full and someone else who would love to show there car off ends up having to park in another car park away from the show.
Im just voicing my view mate, nothing more.

 

[Chip-mk1]

They should call them owners shows not car shows. Then people would realise it's about being social not being a car bore.

Hot chocolate for those who don't drink the stuff?

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Hot chocolate for those who don't drink the stuff?

Oh yes! We have supplies!

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

But yet they will allow any make of car on the Cliosport club stand.

Bonkers.

Yes we will. As I've said already it's a social event. There will be plenty of parking and the non Clio's will be parked to one side. Have you had a look at the size of the paddock we have been given?

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

I think i agree with chip on this one, the whole point of going to a French car show is to look at French cars , not fords or jap cars, if I wanted to see fords, vauxhalls etc I'd go to a ford or vauxhall show, I understand about the social side of shows but if you don't own a French car you should be in the public car park not on a French stand?

In think yours a little confused. Chip was all in favour of other cars coming onto our stand. In fact Chip himself was actually coming in a VW.

 

[dolphinsfan]

I'm bad I got it wrong!! But if it's the social side that peoe like it surely doesn't matter where they park the non French cars as it's the social side not being on a club stand that matters so the general car park should be fine then?

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Because they asked if they could come onto our stand. We aren't going get arsey and so no. Like I've said, any non Clio's will be parked up separately so there's no issue as far as we are concerned.

 

[Ben]

I'd be more than happy to park in the public car park if it's going to cause any problems x

No mate it's definitely NOT going to cause problems.

You are welcome on our stand, as are all MEMBERS of CS no matter what car they drive.
