One of my friends flagged this up on Facebook. Last year they had 500+ cars and bikes on display. Including classics, projects, commercial vehicles etc. Trade stands etc.

Lancing Motor Show

Here's the link if anyone is interested

I'm interested.

Looks good Rich.
Maybe either you or Chris can make enquiries?

I'm a definite maybe..weather permitting...looks like we have to pre-register..will the Club be doing that if we get enough interest?

I have sent the organisers an email requesting a club application form.

I have just received the application form.

We are limited to a maximum of 20 vehicles on our stand.

They need the completed forms back before 1st September at the latest.

It is a little unclear whether they need each of us send an individual form or if they only need a list of the registrations on the back of the club application form. I'll get it clarified.

Sorted.

The club form on its own will do, I'll take care of that.

Just let me have your registration numbers and I can give them the list on the day.

Well done Pete will PM you. Cheers

Pete, just sent you PM.

Rich,

What a great find!! Since it is less than 2 miles away from me it should be a great event. Except it is my daughter's birthday- so put me down as a 'maybe'. Also let me know what I can do to help. Thanks also to Pete and Serg1.

P.S. I should have some more news on Edenbridge very soon.

I'm surprised you didn't know about it Chris! Haddy having a show at that end of the year as there's little going on I'll start a list

Is anybody aware that this event clashes with the Brooklands Autumn Motorsport Day that the Club has attended the last couple of years or has Brooklands now blotted its copybook after AutoItalia last month?

The Autumn Motorsport Day is a much more low key event compared to AutoItalia, with less crowds but much the same formula (MB track, test hill) and with lot of other non-Italian cars there

I've been the last 2 years to Brooklands and found it quite enjoyable. It is a lot more low key but that is perhaps part of the appeal. Some interesting non Italian cars too.

I have received 10 passes for our cars in the post this morning.

It is being held on Lansing's Beach Green

The organisers want us to go in in one group between 8:30 and 9:30 am latest so perhaps someone with local knowledge can suggest a suitable meeting place.

Thanks.

Pete,

As stated before I am only a "possible" at present but less than 5 minutes away from Lancing Green. If I am able to confirm then meeting at Pye Towers first would be a suggested option. I am negotiating with Jean so will keep you informed!

Sorry- where were my nanners! Apologies Ballypete.

Just met up with my daughter who is back from 6 months in SE Asia and who we had thought would be celebrating her birthday with us on that day but strangely wants to be with her mates instead!!!!

This means we are definitely on for Lancing and happy to be the pre event meeting point with tea and coffe before we drive in convoy to the event about 1 mile away. What time do we want to suggest? I'll then PM my details to those coming.

It will take me about an hour and a half to get there so the later the better for me. Is 8.30 to meet reasonable?

Pick a time I'll be there.

8:30 is fine with me.

Thanks Chris for offering the use of your house as a meeting point.

Given that they would like us there between 8:30 and 9:30 and it's no more than 5-10 minutes up the road I suggest we aim to leave Pye Towers at 8:45 sharp and all are welcome for a cuppa from say 8:00 am? Any earlier and you'll be helping me polish Thunderbox!

I'll send a PM with my details to all those on the list (perhaps you could redirect to the Facebook member Gunzi?).

I've PM 'd everyone on the list and had responses from almost everyone. We're off on our hols tomorrow so out of contact but assume that the formal logistics are in hand for all the entrants etc?

Now we're back from holiday, I'm just enquiring if we're booked with the organisers for this. If not what do we need to do?
Breakfast at Pye Towers is still on offer and we're looking forward to it!

It's all booked in with the organisers Chris, I have the formal paperwork which I'll bring down with me.

Great Pete, Thanks. Bacon rolls and tea/coffee await 8:00 am onwards!!

Hi

It was a pleasure to meet you all on Sunday for this show. Despite being an 'owner' for a few years now [VERY looong story] it was my first and hopefully my first of many meets with the club. I didn't really expect to be in it myself - but I had cleaned the car 'just in case' the day before! rotate

It seems Photobucket aren't the friendly peeps they may have been in the past so I had to edit the post and upload to a new host to get the pics in...










Yes, that IS Chris Eubank's old Peterbilt truck, that he used to drive "trailorless" around Brighton and London in the foreground..



A 7th coop arrived a little later and swelled our ranks..




So many lovely cars but other than Coops [obviously], my personal favourite car at the show was this 1937 Ford Roadster


Hopefully I've done it right this time so the 'pops' all work as they should.

Cheers

skulkin

Nice pictures Steve and good to meet you

Also, many thanks to Chris and Jean for their early morning hospitality!

My apologies. What with all the image hosting frustration I clean forgot.

Chris & Jean, Nice to meet you both and I certainly echo the thanks for your hospitality on the day.

Cheers

Thanks to Rich007 for suggesting the show, nice to see all and the weather was in the end, kind. Good location by the beach, nice for me and Skulkin to be close to home too.

But oh my God the noise from all those sound systems!!! Maybe not a repeat performance for an old timer/ boring old f**t like me next year?!

Good to see those Aston Martins, particularly the DB3 and DB5 ( ex Paul McCartney).

Have your ears stopped bleeding yet Chris?

That bugger in the black thing just smiled when I told him that people were in pain from the noise.
Still, I bet he's deaf within the year.

Sounds like what happened to my favourite monthly Ace Cafe meet - overrun by noisy buggers who thought it was more fun to wheelspin and race between roundabouts too whilst making more noise with their cars than some concerts at Wembley
