I thought it was all grass down at PVS? concrete would be so much better, I hate being on the grass, ok if its hot and dry though

Re: PVS 2008
near the slip for the strip then if we are there, will be a bit of a walk to the trade areas tho as last year they were on the entrance side. The paddock side has a small shop etc and is quite a large area.

Re: PVS 2008
Ive got a huge bag of cable ties as a backup incase we just need to attach it to a couple of cars.
We're bringing a disposable one, if everyone brings one (couple of quid from asda or where ever) we can all use each others etc and make life easier

From what i gather you have gotta claim your own camping area, If everyone can bring a chair makes life easier.

Re: PVS 2008
Well when I was there last, there are a couple of feilds, and ppl just park up and pitch a tent. Festivel style. Tho they do tend to leave a gap around the site for cars to travel. So When I was their with my mates, (about 5 cars) we just found a spot near the boundary fence and parked the cars in a semi circle and set up the tents in the middle. A lot of clubs had a gazebo set up in the middle of there group of cars, They'll be loads of blokes in there 40's trying to relive their youth, I remember an old blokes MR2 parked up with massive subs blasting out the Crazy frog tune on repeat til the early hours of the morn. Loads of southerners playing rav loadly. and car engines poping and dump vavles pishhing. I can get a bit mental espec with ppl drinking all day lol. But never seen any bother and its all light hearted fun, with lots of people just walking around the campsite checking out cars. There's anything from Spotless Mag features, to Rusty old BarryBoy specials. We'll have to corner TV mag's blokes on sunday and see if they'll mention us in the mag and hopefully get more surport.I doubt we'll ever be as big as VVOC as there are less cavs about these days. But would be nice to get more ppl and go to most the shows and have a good stand. There is a Rolling road near me, if anyone fancies a rolling road shoot out in the northeast. V=sport, was there today and the guy that runs it said there has been a TV day there before. He'll be down there this weekend, with his throttle bodied carsa.
Well I'll hopefully see you lot on the afternnon, as i have to get a new set of valves fitted to my wheels. as the locking caps have seized on and they need pumping up.
