VBOA National Rally 2006 at Billing (8th/9th July)

[Orange Peel]

Billing 2006

8th & 9th July

Billing Aquadrome

One of the biggest Vauxhall shows around. Only a static event but there enough to keep you busy for the entire weekend. They have an autojumble and loads of trade stands etc, plus all the awards etc. Usually there from Friday afternoon, its a full weekend event which like PV hold no end of laughs and fun, especially if you like druken dodgems!

I'll be going down on the Friday about lunch time.

Please add your names to the list.

I am not sure if I will be able to go, because it is at the end of the first week of my new job; so I haven't put my name down for a stand pass etc on the foresight that I will be pretty tired!
If I find I'm free on either of the days though, then I will pop down and have a look around, but not show the car.
Sorry .

Nice one Neil. There's a chance I may be going down in my brother Corsa as he wants to sell it and Billing is an idea place to try. Make things a bit more interesting on the way down

In which case would it not make sense to take two cars so in the event of selling it, you can both get home? lmao

Both get home? I didnt say my brother was going, just that he wanted to sell it!

+ its highly unlikely anyone would have around £1500 on them in cash, so its mainly to get interest etc.

+ If someone did have the money my mate is coming down on Sunday for the day.

All problems solved

[Oakey22]

where we planning on meeting to convoy down? if anyone is up for that, that is?

[mikenova16v]

well im going down on friday now for deffo so i can meet up with oakey and OP if thats ok?

[Orange Peel]

I;m going to hit the M1 at J24, so that can be one meet point. Then I'm planning on meeting some of the WMers at J19.

Just have to finialise a time

[njmchugh]

OP i can meet you from junction 23 or at leicester forest east service station, let me know what time .

[mikenova16v]

OP let me know what the plans are for friday when u have decided, cheers mate

Looks like I'll be going down to Neils quite early to do some last minute car preping etc. Then leaving there at roughly 10:30 - 11ish

Neil's is only 5 minutes away from J24 of the M1 so I'd suggest that as our start point?

[Oakey22]

thought we shouldnt be arriving before 3pm. Its only an hour and half max to there from the M1

We are planning on stopping for some food on the way. Plus there is a jet wash near the entrance to Billing that people can use. I thought it would be better to have a relaxed journey down with time to kill

[Oakey22]

ok then mate, the gf has got a doctors apointment at 9:30 i think, so i can make it after that. could make it at those times i think

[mikenova16v]

We are aiming to get to Watford Gap services for 11:30ish mate. So getting to LFE at that time would be a little late. I'm up for meeting at LFE at say just after 11ish then bomb down to Watford Gap.

That sound OK?

[mikenova16v]

yeah mate no prob, what junctions is LFE between just so i can estimate what time to set off, cheers pal

[njmchugh]

between junction 21a -21 m1

[Orange Peel]

Neil - I'll be round yours about 9ish. Get the kettle on lol.

[njmchugh]
