Briskoda stand at GTI International this year?

devonutopia · 02-02-2007, 23:37

Well, I've made preliminary enquiries to the organisers of GTI International this year. The info I do know is:

It's on the weekend of June 16th/17th. I suspect camping and some evening drinks will be the order of the show, as well as some bengie 1/4 pounders.

It's being held at Bruntingthorpe, Leicestershire - Good central location for most people in the UK.

I'm up for the entire weekend as it will be the weekend following my next set of accountancy exams. I will be looking to claim the diesel class title too all being well.

So, let's start a list - I'm a definite, whatever happens.

More info can be clarified later.

1) Jason, devonutopia

1) Jason, devonutopia
2) Des, Delcac - Can I have the 1.4 class or is that a contradiction in terms.

Might be an oxymoron?

(no offence to 1.4 owners of course

)

i'll be going to this anyway so it would be good to be on a briskoda stand,good luck with setting this up and i hope it happens

Going to keep my eye on this one, interested but too far ahead to commit at this moment.

postmanpat · 03-02-2007, 12:52

I'll go out on a limb and say definate saturday night sunday, friday night sat day work depending

devonutopia · 03-02-2007, 12:58

Well, it's a whole weekend, so I'm sure there can be the option for people to just come on one day or whatever. This is another thing to clarify with the organisers.

bengie · 03-02-2007, 13:00

might well be there but not sure on the BBQ front as i don't have a trailor anymore but we'll see

51octytdi · 03-02-2007, 13:34

How much is it to get in usually, and is there a discount if you're on a stand?

Is my battered Octy TDi good enough, or will I make it look too much like a car park

Edit: It's huge!

devonutopia · 03-02-2007, 13:39

To make this clear:

The Briskoda stand will not be a stand for the best Skodas in the country. That would just be silly. I think this place is more about the social side of things so I would encourage all Skodas to be there. Would even be nice to get some of the old skool along too. More the merrier is my philosophy.

To compare - I'm doing the weekend at Donny North in Easter - and that's £30 for the weekend, with some evening entertainment. I wouldn't expect GTI International to be any more than this - It may even be cheaper?

51octytdi · 03-02-2007, 13:55

Sweet. When do tickets go on sale?

bengie · 04-02-2007, 23:54

Plenty of flights at that time of year, so what's your problem?

devonutopia · 04-02-2007, 23:56

I've just realised I've also got the southwestmotorshow 2007 on the sunday.... Sod that! I'm going to GTI Inters!

Makefish · 05-02-2007, 00:55

Is'nt "GTI International" a perfect opportunity for a national meet?. These two threads are crying out to be merged!.

vRS_Si · 05-02-2007, 20:49

Yup very interested, though may just do the one day

Sure I can arrange around another who can only commit to a single day

starch · 05-02-2007, 21:02

Im quite interestd, but there is a possiblity i may not have a skoda then (ive never owned a car for more than a year, and i bought this 1 last easter, and im starting to get itchy feet now) what is the position should i gor for example an audi, etc?

Leeboy · 09-02-2007, 19:01

Funny how events like this always fall on my weekend working (I only do every third)! Still I'm sure I can swap. I could get two cars there, the Skoda and Corrado. Insured volunteer driver needed though unless I could persuade the better half to attend too!

devonutopia · 09-02-2007, 19:47

Go on Lee, you know you want to.

The Corrado would need banishing / putting at the back of the stand though.

Wardy · 09-02-2007, 19:52

Can I turn up and park a Seat amongst the Czech mobiles?!

A bit too far ahead for me to commit anyway, but I'd like to be there

Steve

devonutopia · 09-02-2007, 20:07

I think anyone off Briskoda is welcome. Lee(boy) knows I was only kidding anyway.

I've still not heard from the organisers yet which is a bit odd given the show is only 4 months away (ish)

Wardy · 09-02-2007, 20:16

Well just let me know J - if SCN or SeatForum are going, I can always park there then pop over

Car should be looking pretty sorted by then, if all goes to plan.
