it's quite local, so little brother could possibly be convinced to take his octy (if it's running ), but they could've held it somewhere a little less...pikey

[bengie]

as said we live a stones throw from this infact its our local cinema too

if others are going then i'll be there

in fact i'll probably go even if others don't but if i'm the only one then i won't bother with the car.

[piv34uk]

I may go to, i know Ian who runs Oxford Edition as i fit tyres to his vast fleet including the Beetle.....
Will keep an eye on this one.

nah dont want my car either:

a: up on bricks
b: burnt out
c: stolen and locking barrel left on the floor where once the car stood.

[bengie]

yeah, because that happens to every car in black bird leys

for reaslistic people out there i have never had any issues with cars in BBL and i went to college there for 2 years, have been to the cinema that shares this car park many times and have friends/swmbo's family living there(infact my mazda was there for a few weeks before it was on the road) and no one i know has had any issues either. BBL had a reputation about 15 - 20 years ago for joy riding and car thefts but its fine now.

Seriously BBL? Car crime? I left my car there two days ago (went to see transformers) with the drivers window left (foolishly) open and nothing came of it, even my mints were still in the car! I'll be there!

[bengie]

exactly, its a reputation earnt years ago that isn't really needed nowadays but it still has. we went to see transformers there too

[vRS_Si]

Thats a good start, I asked if we could have 5-10 show spaces so theres room for more. If we need extra spaces i'm sure it won't be a problem.

Re: the security issue, i've never known it was a bad area. Just think though that there will be several thousand other V'dub enthuasists there that day so wouldn't have though security would be too much of an issue as they'll be a lot of people there.

Just updating the list...

Presumably this is an outdoor affair. My only concern is possible foul weather at this time of year. Any ideas on what the set up is with the club stands?

Hi Lee, club stands will be outdoor yes, but the whole stadium has been hired including all of the indoor areas.
I believe they'll be some special VAG indoor display and all of the indoor areas/bars etc will be open to us.

Re: club stands, theres a club area thats been set aside, I've asked for space for 10 cars but we can ask for more/less if it's needed.
We can turn up and pay on the day so no issues there.
We don't all need to arrive as a group, though it may be easier....i've plans for this too, will PM to all interested.

[bengie]

[vRS_Si]

Yeah you've got a bit of time, I asked for space for upto 10 cars.
When do you think you'll know by?

OXFORD EDITION SHOW UPDATE...Quote:
IT'S GOING TO BE MASSIVE!!!

We've nearly 400 cars in club stands and 300 for Show 'n' Shine so far and more being added every day.

The indoor showroom containing 'Ten of the Best' is looking stunning and all cars have been agreed.

A good breadth of traders will be there too, and all the bars and cafes at the Kassam will serve us through the day.

And......

Our catergories for Show 'n' Shine have been turned upside down as we've created 10 trophies with plenty of scope for entry across all levels which should make for a very very interesting competition....remember old skool OE boys Danny Smith, Steve Bush, along with Yarrow Thorne are judging!!

The catergories are:

1) CAR OF THE SHOW 2007
2) MOST INFLUENTIAL VAG OF 2007
3) THE TIMELESS AWARD 2007
4) BEST NON VAG 2007
5) MOST DESIRABLE VAG 2007
6) MOST STYLISH VAG 2007
7) BEST POTENTIAL 2007
8) PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR 2007
9) PEOPLES CHOICE 2007
10) LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD 2007

Along with many more suprises on the day!!!

The Kassam is an amazing venue and the show is well suited to it. All cars will be parked on flat smooth tarmac so there will be no issues with the 'lower ones' amongst you.

Public entry on the Sunday will be from 9am, but all clubstand cars and show 'n' shine entries have to be in and ready for the 9am start.

The car park and stadium floodlights will be on as the afternoon approaches so we with still be well lit into the evening.

Posters will be up all over the site showing the order of the day so everyone knows what/where and when....and of course music and DJ's will be on tap all day.

ACCESS TO THE KASSAM STADIUM IS VIA THE M40 AND M4 ALONG THE A34...THEN FOLLOW THE 'FOOTBALL' BROWN SIGNS.

LOCAL ROADS IN FROM READING OR OXFORD IS ALONG THE A4074 AND WE WILL SIGNPOST FROM TEH MAIN ROAD INTO THE STADIUM (AS THE TURN CAN BE MISSED AT SPEED!!)

[Baker21]

Looking forward to this as I know some of the other motors there are going to be something to really 'feast your eyes on'......
