Who's up for attending this show in 2007 ?

How many of those are likely to make it in a Fug ?

If there's enough interest I'll contact the organisers (Thanks Tigger for the details) to get a forum area allocated.

Edit : Show date is 6th/7th May 2007 (Bank Holiday Sunday and Monday)

if i'm right that's the same weekend as big bang? :unsure:

if so my original plan was to roll to big bang thurs night for as little light drag racing on the friday/sat morning and then drive over to stoneleigh on the sat pm or sun depending on what days the stoneleigh show is held on B)

would be hoping to have the fuge ready in time of course but would need to confirm this for sure nearer the time ;)

gar :ph43r:

yup - deffo interested in stoneleigh and finally meeting everyone........will be in my fug - but I will say this now - I'm not sure of the standard required at these shows - as the paint job on my fug certainly aint "show quality" its a bit faded........my fug is for driving - not showing!......if you think thats OK put my fug on the list too :D

The "club" areas are mainly marked up areas on the grass.

Standard goes from "how did they drive that here!" upwards so I wouldn't worry about the standard of the cars too much!

Take a peek at the (1998!) Newark Show pictures on the main site for an idea of what we sort of Fugs we used to be able to get to shows.

what dates is the stoneleigh show? :blink:

big bang is the 28th- 29th april next year and i wanna start planning!!! :D

I'll be at Big Bang if it's the same weekend :huh:

I`m normally at big bang too, tempted to do stoneleigh for a change but big bang is the first festi of the year, AND theres no dance tent at stoneleigh

And it's BIG BANG, and stuff



Drag racing



Drunkeness



Frivollity



And stuff B)

Stoneleigh is usually over the May Day weekend and is all 3 days so take your pick and turn up!! Having done Big Bang, the first one onwards all I wanted was to get away from that dance tent, because it detracted from the racing etc, but maybe I'm getting old, or the orgainisors too greedy...dunno <_<

I've been to The Kit Car Show couple of times now, this year the first in the Fug and it was definitly worth it....cold mind :( However, there was me and the Dutch guy who had (at the time ) just bought that blue Rover powered F33 off ebay. I couldn't get near mine all day for people looking at it.

So, a line up of Fugitives of the like as not seen for quite a while would be well worth making the effort for I reckon B) B)

Come on boys lets make an effort here :P

nope count me out

things were going so well until they said "we need you to go to Ireland to work on a contract for 6 months" arh . :angry:

I have an engine and gearbox and electrics sorted :(


may be I will be able to sort something some how

never say never

even before this post was started - I think the plan was always to do Stoneleigh in 2007 - Im with Tiggar on this one - lets do it.

big bang has been purposefully brought forward a week for 2007 to avoid the bank holiday apparently..... :D :D :D

i think we're on gentlemen B) ;)

In that case.............Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhaaaaaaaaa :lol:

have just reserved 6th & 7th May with Mrs Knight .......yeeeeeeehhhhhhhaaaaaaaawwwwwhhhhhh.........by then she will have the new bathroom...........so as far as I'm concerned thats my licence to start wasting lots of time and money on my fug-4.......a set of adjustable rear spring plates, adjustable dampers and a pair headlamps, MOT, Tax and insurance should all make a nice dent in the Knight bank account........but thats what its all for innit B) B) B) B)

COUNT ME IN ,BEEN THERE WITH MY FUGIE IN 2005,THERE WAS A STAND THERE MARKED UVA FUGITIVE OWNERS CLUB,-NO OTHER CARS CAME- LOOKS LIKE THEY WILL NEXT YEAR,BE GOOD TO MEET LIKE MINDED FOLK.

i'd better get my arse back down the shed then..... :D :D

*gar leaves to the sound of the mission impossible theme* :D ;)

Thats settled then, Stoneleigh next year it is then :D

fugs still working and still being driven, in the process of selling both 4x4s so I will only have the fug and a bike to work on. Just got to remember not to strip it down too much this winter and then fail to get it working for spring

Nice one guys

...lets make it one they're remember :D

Unless something REALLY bad happens to my Fug, I'll be there :D

Steve

At the risk of sounding slightly dim,what and where is Stonleigh. I realise it's a car show type thing,but when putting it in a route finder there's several Stonleighs. :(

And no there's not several because I forgot the 'e' there were several even with it in. :blink:

Does this help?

Steve

:D

It does,but it also tells me I'm not doing a 160 mile journey likely to take over 3 hours in a Fug. I may like these things,but not that much. ;) If I can though I wouldn't mind a drive up if something did get organised.

Where are you based then 100Bob?

THE kit car show of the year

National Agricultural showground / Centre

Leamington Spa



Go thru Leamington Spa.. and head for Coventry on the B4113 you won't miss it :P

I'm in (Sunny) Clacton-on-Sea,Essex. It's the place that everyone makes fun of,but when anyone moves here they never want to leave. Unfortunately it's also the end of the world regarding being able to buy things that don't come from B&Q or Tesco's. <_<
Not exactly much of a kit car movement down here either,it's all Novas,Corsas,BMWs lowering kits and neon lights. Kids need to discover real engines. :D The only good thing about getting old is cheap car insurance,make the most of it. B)

I will make it in the rebuilt Camo Fug, it is now nealy rebuilt and is flame red. the rough camo look has gone. We should reserve an area. Last year there was a yellow alfa powered Fug there. the year before I was there as well. that was a showing of 2 cars but both in different places on the day shame. This looks like the most intrest on the site for a while. Lets hope it turns out. PS are there any Fugs in the midlands I am near Leicester.

Steve!

Pics! Please post some pics!

As soon as I get a garage built or the weather gets better I'll finish mine (well get it going) and have to pop up to Lecs to say hi.
I have some mates there that I catch up with quite often.

My Fug has a way to go but I intend to get it on the road early next year.

Please post a pic of yours.

Steve (in North Herts)

Mr Embo! - good to hear from you again - will look forward to meeting and the renovated fug at stoneleigh - I think someone is reserving a spot for all the fugs.......Tiggar - were you doing this?

Steve VFR - heres a pic of steve Embos fug-2 before he renovated it

i'm there, ;) normally go there each year, as a bit of a petrol head and always looking at building something different.

camaro Z28!!!! :o :o :o

always loved camaros..... :wub:

wasn't sure wether to post the pics or not? :unsure:
just a big toy that never really gets used,needs to be hot and dry to get the best from it,slightest bit of the wet stuff and it likes to go sideways at the slightest provocation :(
optional underwear a must have!! :lol:

not really designed for our roads or climate!!! :lol:

love them though and sideways is always good..... :o ;)

ok 6th & 7th may is fast approaching.......whos still up for it?.......will everyone be doing both days? - or just one?.........does it take 2 days or can it be done in 1?

just to get an idea of how many fugs will be turning up, who will DEFINATLEY be bringing their fug?......I'm a deffo yes.

Hi All,

I've mailed the organisers of the Stoneleigh show today to see if they still allocate "club" areas.

A quick summary taken from this thread of interested people follows - if you can confirm/bail out in a reply on this thread or by PM then I'll use this to make sure we've enough people to warrant the club area.

Edited : See further down thread for updated list

More details on the show itself here on the organiser's site.

I'll be there...in the beast :P

OK, got a reply from the organisers and a form should be on it's way to me tomorrow to book a club stand for us.

Edited : See further down thread for updated list

Paul - hows the alfa engine installation coming along then???? - or still getting over your bike mis-hap......no personal message - on the forum please :rolleyes:

right! things a bit more settled on farm HQ now so i will be pulling the stops out to get the fuge ready in time for this one and big bang the week before B)

have got all the major bits i need except a 16v lump but have just sourced a scirocco engine so i should be able to start working the installation out in the meantime :D

i'll be there.....i'll know nearer the time if the fuge or the polo will be making the trip ;)

Knighty :
The bike's in one bit now, but running like crap. It's booked in to get a good going over by a place near work next week. Now have a new crash helmet without the big scratches up the side so can use it again.
The Fugitive is still without engine, no space in my garage to work on it and the mates who used to work on it seem to have got married, bred and filled their garages up with immovable crap! That coupled with my skill level and a recent illness and bereavement in the family means not a lot's happened. Discussions are afoot to get the damn thing back on the road where it belongs ... watch this space ;)
