Stanford Hall Eastern European Meet

vrsfab · 04-05-2006, 21:49

I've seen this in the calender for this Sunday 7th May.

It sounds quite interesting. Does anyone fancy meeting up and having a couple of hours down there?

I'm told there should be a good few FWD Skodas. Come on guys don't make me go on my own

jim campbell · 05-05-2006, 22:02

i could be going down there , depends on weather

gcr31463 · 05-05-2006, 23:07

i'll be there in my octavia tdi
as my estelle is still in bits
(i'll be parked with the skoda klub of doncaster & scunthorpe)

it's a very friendly event, just turn up,
bring a picnic (& an umbrella)

the owners club try to make pretty patterns
line ups of the same model / colour whatever
you don't have to be a member of any club
just turn up in any skoda

the only rule is no donuts on the nice grass
(other cakes are fine)

I'll be there.

vrsfab · 06-05-2006, 10:40

I can see a convoy from Leicester forest east

. Let me know a time to meet there if you're interested.

vrsfab · 06-05-2006, 21:39

Meet at Leicester Forest East Services Southbound (just before J21 M1) between 10:30 - 10:45 and a steady run down to Stanford hall.

I will deffo be there. Any more takers?

jim campbell · 06-05-2006, 23:25

i ll be there for 10:45

bryand · 07-05-2006, 17:27

Well it turned out to be an excellent meet with at least 63 Skodas of all ages, and a mixture of Trabants, Ladas, Moskvitches, Wartburgs, Dafs and Tatras.
Lots to see and great people in a nice setting - we should aim to improve on this year's 5-strong presence next time round.
Here's some pics (unashamedly of the older cars):

johnyardley · 07-05-2006, 17:29

That;s a steady drive down Jim - Lol

John

bryand · 07-05-2006, 17:29

And some rather interesting Rapids...

johnyardley · 07-05-2006, 17:30

Hi,

Bryan is very modest he got 3rd in class, a bronze medallion for modern skoda !

John

bryand · 07-05-2006, 17:33

The Estelles had a class of their own to celebrate their 30th birthday.
We also had a look at the Tatras, with their air-cooled V8 engines.
Oh, and my car came 3rd in the "modern" class which surprised me since I didn't know I had entered a competition!

johnyardley · 07-05-2006, 17:36

Bryan, Gemma was the instigator of your prize"!
Can i blame SWIMBO?

I was there with my Rapid and Bugrat!

MeatballTurbo · 08-05-2006, 11:59

LOL, I was there too.
Parked next to a Yellow Fab VRS, in my black GLX Octi.
Had it hooked upto VAG-com for while to try (on a OC members laptop) and diagnose the fault codes I've been getting.
A couple are "too high idle-intermittent" and "Can't set idle, out of range".

So I'm going to try and sort myself a laptop with VAG-Com on, then clean the Throttle body and rset it using VAG-Com.

gcr31463 · 08-05-2006, 16:39

i was there, glad to see a good day was had by all

did anyone indulge in the cakes in the tea room... ?
i was good (honest)

johnyardley · 10-05-2006, 13:32

Hi,
Yes the cakes were excellent, would go their just for the cakes!

John and Gemma too

MeatballTurbo · 10-05-2006, 17:33

Damn. I didn't do the cakes.
Took some home made sushi for my dinner, but made sure I had a coffee and bacon baguette when I arrived.

Can't do a car rally without some form of bacon sarnie.
