Cool! I'm following Carrie to the pub then.

I didn't say I was going, I was just commenting that jct is the quicker way there from Birmingham.

Lorna · 22 Dec 2000, 18:32 (Ref:53843)

You not joining us for a bite to eat after the show then Carrie?

**Craig** · 27 Dec 2000, 00:35 (Ref:54364)

Anyone else up for it then ?

Free tickets on offer at http://www.thegrid.co.uk I believe...

Carrie · 31 Dec 2000, 21:05 (Ref:55351)

Woo, hoo!!! We can almost say that we're in the right month for the Autosprout Show

Not long now

Mark was asking me if I knew what's going on in the Thunderdome. Has anyone got any ideas? I got the impression the bikes might be in there this year. Mark said he'd heard Montoya would be.

The only thing is that last year on paper the Thunderdome looked good, but I felt it was a waste of money, even if it did have JC and Allan McNish. That's what puts me off paying for it this year.
Hmm, fingers crossed, freebie tickets from thegrid.co.uk

Did anyone mention if those included Thunderdome tickets as well???

Lorna · 1 Jan 2001, 20:54 (Ref:55583)

I will not be visiting the Thunderdome this year. I was not really impressed with it last year and could do with saving those pennies. I will wonder aimlessly around the stands or visit the bar.

Sparky · 6 Jan 2001, 14:38 (Ref:56648)

It's only ONE WEEK to go!!!!

RIKB · 6 Jan 2001, 15:04 (Ref:56662)

Yup! and I'm Girding my loins in anticipation

Yogi · 6 Jan 2001, 16:53 (Ref:56708)

Hi, yep I'll be going on Friday. I refuse to go on Saturday and Sunday, to many ppl and tooooooooooo many rug-rats screeming their steak and kidney pie's off. As for the Thunderdome, its a total waste of money, bloody cold in there to. But as I can get free tickets I might just go.

Carrie · 6 Jan 2001, 20:33 (Ref:56798)

Have you come in here just to wind me up because you get to go on the Friday

BTW, welcome along to Ten-tenths

Larsen · 6 Jan 2001, 21:21 (Ref:56810)

I will be going on Saturday and also i will be at the thunderdrome at midday. Can't wait for it. This is my 5th year in a row. YEEPEE

Carrie · 6 Jan 2001, 23:34 (Ref:56851)

Does this mean we might finally get to meet Rik?

Lorna · 7 Jan 2001, 00:00 (Ref:56862)

I won't be alone whilst the Thunderdome show is going on then

I'm sure I don't need to say this but I suspect that the usual mob will be phoning each other when we arrive. For those that are not the usual mob, speak now or forever hold your peace to arrange a meeting place. It would be nice to meet some new faces. We're not that scarey - honest.

***Chris Y*** · 7 Jan 2001, 00:19 (Ref:56874)

Speak for yourself

Lorna · 7 Jan 2001, 00:39 (Ref:56880)

Chris, do you wanna take a vote on that? Hmmm, maybe not

RIKB · 7 Jan 2001, 16:04 (Ref:57050)

Yes Carrie, I hope to meet some or all of the gang! I plan to go up on the Saturday, provided the old banger makes it

Should be there for about 10.00am

I may well be bringing a friend, who has never even been racing before but is getting interested..

**Craig** · 7 Jan 2001, 16:47 (Ref:57057)

Rik, my mobile number has changed - i'll PM it to you - give us a ring as soon as you arrive bloke!

See you there

OVERSTEER · 7 Jan 2001, 18:34 (Ref:57106)

RIKB I'm also going on saturday, I'll be there just before the show opens, might see you down there. Larsen and Lorna I also plan to go to the thunderdrome at midday I might see you there.emmsy2u2000@yahoo.co.uk

Invader · 7 Jan 2001, 22:32 (Ref:57181)

Food... Henley...with my reputation...surely not!

Lorna · 7 Jan 2001, 22:39 (Ref:57184)

I have emailed you Oversteer. I do not plan to go to the Thunderdome but hope to meet up at some point during the day.

One thing I remember from last year. It proved to be a very slow walk around the show because we stuck together as a group and someone made the comment about splitting up a bit and meeting up in the bar for a big get together. What do people think? I'm on a mission to get as much literature together as possible so I'll be running around all over the place

Invader · 7 Jan 2001, 22:44 (Ref:57187)

I agree Lorna...last year we hardly saw anything due to 10 people not being sure that what they wanted to do was what everyone else wanted to do.
I think we should meet up at, say 11a.m. and then sod off to do our own thing, meeting up for a pint or lunch every so often.

Carrie · 7 Jan 2001, 22:56 (Ref:57195)

Well why don't we just all sod it and go our seperate ways for the whole day. Doesn't really seem much point in meeting.
