Hi Guys,
Been contacted by the organisers of this event again, 6/7th July, Brighton sea front.
Would any of you be interested to display your buggy's.
its a static display, you need to turn up fairly early and been promised to be parked up on the promenade on the outside of the main fenced area which has the bonus of letting us escape a bit earlier than the 6pm shut down after the public have been cleared. There may be secret camping available but that would be on the inside in one of the marquee's and you would need to be up very early to vacate the marquee so's they can get set up.
If the weathers good its a great time just people watching (This is Brighton sea front) :o ::) :-\ .
If you feel that you need a day or two at the seaside just chillin (if the weathers good), signup here and I'll give you more info nearer the time.
Cheers H ;-)up
Would love too! Always wanted to bring my buggy down to this but hey you know the story :( maybe next year...

Weather forecast has promised double High pressures with a scorcher attached for all the would-be lobsters and buggy owners 8)
Of course, I attach the 'weather permitting' remark. As I seem to have misplaced my roof at 50mph the other the week ROFL ;D ;D ;D

There is camping available with the usual arrangements ( places are in one of the big marquees after hours but you will need to be up early) its free. ;-)up
You will need to be there by 08.45 on each day. :-\

If your coming along to club night this week we can discuss how we could travel down or meetup along the way.

sorry boys and girls my cooked plug seams to be more involved have a misfire at 4000 rpm think its rotor or coil problem so im completly peed off was realy looking forward to week end boll...s,
last staw feel like selling the bloody think,runs superb then as soon as i want to do some thing gremlins rear up
Noo :(
Always the way I know what you mean mate, sure it'll be fine and sorted soon ;-)up :D :D
See if you can get it fixed and back on the road in the week mate and come along to Eastbourne next week instead!! ;-)up
looks like the electronic ignition is the cause nothing else would cause it to do this at 4000 rpm dizzy only 2 years old.think its a ignitor 1 .
still not a happy bunny,mate had two in a row knackered out the box so,hopefully fix next week but timing couldnt be worse.
Sorry I think I will miss this one. I don't want to start my new job all sun burn and I have to prepare so next time.

This one was on the market last year, did it actually sell or is it the same owner selling it still.
Nice to see some pictures of buggies in the sun ;D ;D ;D
just hoping my cable turns up as my buggy is still resting in the shade still :(
Chatted to the owner who bought it last year and is now selling it on ;-)up
It's got to have depreciated now after they were letting everyone's kids climb all over it all when I was there on the Sunday :o ::) :-\
Mind you kept them away from ours ;-)up ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
In reply to that clem is that i was allready booked in at billing aqua vw polo and tr7 show,i never said i would go,just suprised that the amount of members that were up for that run leading up to the day was just wittled down to four! ;)
I must confess I am also surprised that there were so few paddling around the pier - I always thought that this was a big event on the calender
???
@Poacher - Any pictures of the TR7 event at Billing then? seldom see those classics nowadays
???
Worth going just for the free parking ;D mate paid £7 hour to park and then had to walk to get to the show ;D
Will be back next year
I might take a run there myself next year - any excuse to drive along the south coast ;-)up
Hi dave,didnt take any pics of them,sd card was full up! managed to get some vw polo in tho,anyway i wouldnt be able to load them up to here as it never works for me,i even tried photobucket and it gives me a load of jargon i cant understand,cos i thick lol...But yes the tr7 looked good along with the tr8,s and again there i dont understand ,lovely weekend and only 20 odd tr,s were there,they had there own marqe,flags and all that,there were more polos there,about 40.The bug jam is on soon at santa pod i shall be camping but i asked the question who else is going from here?seems a good place for getting parts and stuff on the stalls there,what you reckon. cheers.
would have been there always up for it superb time when weathers good,but gremlins got in the machine again,always enjoy tearing about in the evening,realy cheesed i missed it,roll on bug jam tearing up the strip. 8)
