Great Show - always a great turn out of buggies (well a part from 2014 when the show was cancelled due to hurricanes!)
Usually a cruise down the A3 (and yes Hindhead tunnel!)
FREE entry for buggies!
Sunday 9th August.
Southsea Common, Portsmouth. PO5 3AA

I was there ;D ;D ;D ;D and I was noisy
Sorry, my mistake, it wasn't the hurricane..... It was Hudge's exhaust!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Anyone thinking of going to this?
I'm sure there will plenty of people going. ;-)up ;-)up
For sure.... I'm there!
Now we have swanage done, I was going to remind folks about BeachBuggin'
Apart from last year's (due to a bit of wind and drizzle) this is always a great show and busy too with buggies (since they are free to get in!) We often see a few buggies that we wouldn't normally see at other shows/meets. ;-)up
Cool. I just got a Facebook thingy telling me all about it. Looks good to me, and not to far either. ;-)up are people staying over? ;) ;) ;)
Shall be there,
Fingers X'ed for good weather this year
If it's not raining I'll be there.
I'm aiming to get down to this one.
Might just manage to squeeeeeeez this one in. Seems like we are all over the place at the mo so fingers crossed.

Me too,weather depending,and if i can get my battery to charge off the dynamo. Mystery tour as i can't get the website on my voodoo machine either.
Seriously considering it... Given that I've only been as far as B&Q since we got our buggy and the everlasting house project WILL be completed by then... ;-)up I just so hope the weather will be kind because I really don't want to have to use the roof...
If we do go, is there an opportunity for those of us travelling from the west to cruise down together?
For those that want to head in from the A3
Leaving Ockham bites cafe (Old Ln Gardens, East Horsley, Cobham KT11 1NN, Wisley lakes) A3 slip rd south bound off of J10 M25.
You should be fueled up (car and you, cafe is open from about 08.00) ready to leave there 09.30 sharp for a run down the A3.
We will be stopping about 3mls after the Hindhead tunnel at the large shell garage for a swift pitstop, then onward to Southsea aiming to arrive realistically about 11.00.
This is what we've aimed for in the past, feel free to update or suggest alternatives.
My Buggy is still an unknown for this as its in bits waiting for the head to come back from menders and also the weather.
Cheers H
I'm from portsmouth but I'll drive up and meet you all at the cafe so I can cruise down with you all

Now thats dedication for you!
Though lets face it, any excuse for driving together in a cruise and back and forth through the tunnel....... :D :D :D
Hopefully me and Buggy Ray will be there.Will be good to catch up.
Myself (Manx) and Dave B (Prowler) will be going; see you at the show
Excellent stuff Mel, are we seeing you at the show or are you meeting us at Wisley first thing?
Not planning to meet at Wisley, but you might see the 2 of us driving south on A3 near the Petersfield/Winchester A272 junction around 10.20am-ish. We'll look out for your convoy, but don't stop for us.
Got the MOT booked for Saturday morning as is is a tad out. Thats if I get the sump back on and the oil pressure issue has gone away.
Hopefully all goes well and we should be down for about 11 ish.

Afternoon Chaps
Looks like you'll all be passing by my little village (Thursley) around 10 as I live just before the Hindhead Tunnel. I'll try and get on the access bridge and get a video of you all as you pass by, then hopefully join the cruise down.
Should be an awesome sight!
I'm aiming on getting there just before 10 as the show starts then. Anybody else getting there that early :-\
MOT done, re taxed and ready to go again. See ya all down there ;-)up ;-)up ;-)up ;-)up ;-)up

Sorry to hear that Matt, you will be missed - especially in the tunnel!!!! Take care and get yourself sorted! ;-)up
Had a good day down portsmouth. We went to see the sea and everyone was gone when we got back at 4. Fancied mingling with some faces from swanage. Bumped into birmingham mantaray and chris. Overtaken on m27 by 3 at once on the way home. I do like that buggy with the gt40 stripe.
Great to catchup with everyone again, and Andy have you edited the video yet?
Awesome day and gloriously sunny, congrats to Paul Rigwell on another trophy.
Interesting display of Top Trumps too, wonder where they got those from.
Came over from the Isle of Wight for the day. Had a good time, nice to see some familiar faces and catch up. Was one of the biggest shows we have been to for a while. Here are a few photos.

Great day - fantastic weather. Now looking forward to Ace Cafe!
Here is my contribution.
I was standing on the bridge at Thursley on the A3 with my family (and my buggy) watching the cruise go past. I filmed it on my camera that was zoomed in so the quality isn't great.
I caught up with the cruise at the fuel station at Liphook and it was an awesome cruise down, especially through Portsmouth.
The show was really good, the weather was great and I even had a paddle in the see with my daughter!
Brilliant day had all round.

It was also good to put some faces to the names I see on here.
Hope everyone had a great day, see you next year. Although my buggy did struggle a little to get back, think it may be running on three cylinders, possible HT leads!
Dave
Great stuff there Dave, sounds like you all had a good time.
Cheers H
Shame you couldn't have filmed in the Hindhead tunnel....
How did that sound folks ?
:D
There was plenty of Go Pro filming on the way down so someone must have a good video of the tunnel. I think we're all waiting for the edit!
I got some on the go pro. Am just waiting on hunters coverage to us both sets of filming by to edit together. Didn't get much in the tunnel myself as every one seemed to stay back and not roar past the cameras at all.
If only I had been there ;)
For those not seen them, find the link to the photos of us arriving - I screen shotted them from the owners gallery but if you want them you can see where to buy them....
