Volksworld Show - 26-27 March 2011 - Sandown Park, Esher, Surrey.

Mmmmm sounds good, can't wait..... new curtains nearly finished

Ever the optimist, Jnr and I have just used a tin of Fabsil to waterproof the gazebo which we'll be using as 'the office' on the stand.

Come on Tim, the sun always shines on Campo Brasiliano, surely?

Hi Tim
Do you need any more help on the stand either Sat or Sun ?
Jill

Hi Jill

There's no more vehicle space but if you wanted to help on the stand either day that'd be great.

All the comp tickets for Saturday have gone though so I'm afraid you'd need to pay to get in. Sunday there's 2 still free.

Hi Tim,

I'm down for Sunday at the stand, does this mean I can use the ticket for the Saturday, too, or would I have to buy one extra? Or do the Saturday Club people pass their tickets to the Sunday guys?

Sorry, I think I got lost somewhere in the logistical nightmare

Thanks, max

Tickets for us are now day specific max. Because we're swapping some display vehicles over Volksworld are giving us 10 adult passes for the Saturday and then 10 for the Sunday rather than 10 weekend passes.

There are 3 spare complimentary tickets available for the Sunday ONLY. Please post below if you wish to use these. First come first served.

I also have a spare Child pass for Sunday if this helps anyone out PM me and I'll send it first class.

Cheers Kev

15 days people!!!

Still got 3 comp tickets for the Sunday available .....

This time next weekend folks .......

Washed, waxed and ready for action.

I hope you've waxed those new alloys. There will be an inspection you know.

in line with Tim's request to lift and wash our pop tops, I did indeed do this today and found a whole host of nasty's to contend with - bugs resident in their winter accommodation, sycamore seeds, urban grit and sticky dirt along with green stuff growing in the pop top edging strips, one of which fell off! On a more ominous note, there was also rust, well the beginnings of it anyway. This where the front and rear pop top edges had worn through the body paint, I guess through vibration when driving along. As a temporary protective measure, I got my roll of duck tape out and slapped it over the damaged paintwork in the hope that this will at least stop further rubbing - I'll do proper repairs when I have more time and when the weather is more settled.

Thanks Tim.

Better to find that out now rather than later. It'll be surface rust only where the roof has rubbed. As you say, duck tape it up for now and then treat it when the weather improves. However no matter how much paint you put back on, it'll get rubbed off again so a permanent cover with white duck tape is advised. Also put some Vaseline on the black braiding so it slips against the roof rather than rubs.

Slight change to the Saturday line-up. Carlos is unable to attend due to work commitments.

kiteman takes his place.

Hey Kiteman
Glad to see you will be there on Saturday (when we are going) so we might be able to get a demo on the heating project we have watched in amazement from afar
See you all on Saturday

Thats a pity but we still have 5 great Brazis to show off with a good mix of Air, Aqua, DubTubs and Grills.
