Anyone else going...?
Iv booked to take the Miggy and out tintent, will be arriving late Friday and staying at ShellDuck 3 Electric, will be leaving on Sunday :)
This will be the first time Iv been, Iv wanted to go for around 6 years and can't wait to go TBH....
Will be just me n the missus as the kids and dog are being looked after for us.... :y ::)
-
I suppose I'll have to join ABS to be allowed in this time, as ABS kindly let all OOFer's in last year.
Dates might be a problem for me, need to check. If free, I'd love to go again, as really enjoyed last year

You dont need to be a member of ANY affiliated club to gain entry, its a public event... not exclusive...

True, but I'd rather be in an enclosure with adults, as last year showed other areas (including some club enclosures ::)) do tend to fill up with mindless, moronic chavs.

As long as they obey the curfew I'll be happy - I like to sleep you see LOL

As we saw last year, the security guys there ar quick to respond to any complaints :y
-
Seriously - you being sarcastic...?
I can't stand noise, especially when trying to get to sleep....
I'll have to drink many many beverages to maybe pass out LOL
-
is it gonna be an omega-fest this year.....me and missus will be down this time...for sure lol :y

Not sarcastic. They are quite quick if called.
Near us, but other side of one of the big streams, there were some chavs being obnoxious and inconsiderate - doors open on car, bongo trash blaring at full distortion from their Corsa, throwing cans in the stream, yada yada yada. Somebody reported them, security quickly came and told them to keep it down (and pick out all the cans from the stream). The next day they were at it again, so they got turfed off.
At any site that large, esp seemingly (again from my experience) those related to car clubs, you're gonna get inconsiderate retards. I though Billing security dealt with these mongrels really well :y
-
Well that puts my missus's mind at rest - I hope... she has a condition where she can have panic attacks and any noise or if she thinks something is going to go wrong she get s upset very easily...
Inconsiderate chavs will be told to be quiet by myself, I would even turn the music down for them... but I dont think they would like that LOL
-
or a better way is to all start our sexy v6`s and show them what noise really is hehehe :P
-
I would love to go again-I missed last year-but will have to see if finances stretch to it.

This years ABS field centre display will be for the 25th anniversary of the Lotus Carlton/Omega
We are hoping for 50 cars on the sunday. Our previous record was at Castle Combe a few years back when 32 cars attended but due to owners other commitments, only 28 were actually together at any one time
The ABS website is currently undergoing the final stage of testing so when anyone joins online, providing there details are usable i.e no "handles" instead of proper names, forum access is automatic. We are gradually joining the 21st century!!!!

If you want to bring your car into the site then it is £10 per car per day, if you want to camp then it's £20 per night. If you park in the outer car park and walk in then it's free.
You only need to be a member of a VBOA club to camp in the show area, If your not a club member then you will need to camp in the public camping area

Looking forward to this again ;D

Last years was my first visit, and we travelled light knowing we could abuse Entwood's kind hospitality for BBQ, fridge etc etc. Both Suzie and I really enjoyed it. Not sure if we can make it this year though...

If a spot of decent weather coincides with spare time so's I can do cam covers and oil change then I'm still hoping to get me and the mad mutt to Billing this year.Just for the Sunday mind as I work Saturdays.Been a member of ABS since the late nineties and like to support them when I can.
-
If you are an ABS member, you can camp on the ABS field for the duration. No price differacnce when booking, just not out with the general camping crowd

Yes - quite a big one. However you usually have to search quite hard to find Carlton/Senator/Omega stuff.

There was not much Omega stuff there last year, never found the bit I was looking for :-\

Not really. I've never bothered, although I have occasionally had one rammed down my throat for being awkward. ;D
Once you're past the troll on the bridge, you're basically free to go wherever you want inside the showground. If challenged for your membership number on entry to the ABS field just should "I am not a number, I am a free man". Then park up. Always worked for me.
Me - I'm a Rebel without a clue.
-
I know you don't really need the sticker but you get a £5 discount on entry :y

More for just having a rummage and finding cheapish half decent tools and am in desperate need of a rolling cabinet... very nearly bought a snap-on a couple of years ago but had no way of getting it home in our Astra hatch we had coz it was full of baby stuff and a pram LOL
-

:(
Damn i want that ABS membership before the meeting then :'(
-
Isn't it that with a sticker from ABS you get in for £10 per car regardless of number of occupants ,but without sticker it's the standard daily rate for Billing at £15 per person?Or have I misunderstood the wording?
-

Correct, but only £15 per car, not per occupant :y
-
Ah,right.There you go you see I have slightly misunderstood the wording,thanks for putting me right.

I've only ever paid a tenner for the car, regardless of occupants. I normally send a SAE to Gordon for the window sticker but I've never displayed it. :-\

16 days to go :D
-
I've not heard of VBOA before... Just checked t'internet & looks an interesting event
-
If you're into your Vauxhalls/Opels then it is a great event and at £10 a car full it's good value too.While there is still ample time for things to alter/go totally wrong the signs are looking good for me and the mutt to make it this year-as long as weather forecast is favourable.
-
Thanks

6 more sleeps 8)
-
7 more sleeps....? , but does depend when you're going...
7 for me and the missus :) :cool:

Well we'll be there so thats 1...
Not really associating myself with any club in particular, just gonna turn up and pitch-up the tintent and go from there...
Mine will be the big Lunar Delta caravan called Geoff :)
Really looking forward to this weekend...
Won't be setting off until the afternoon though as kids are in school and our babysitter (their aunty) cant pick them up until the afternoon anyway, so hopefully will be getting there for around 8PM ish... depends on traffic around Birmingham I guess too....
Weather is looking good for next weekend so far too :)
-
Yea, 6 more sleeps for me. Going up friday morning via Hemel Hempstead to pick up the ABS trailer with the event gear in it.
keith B
-
4 sleeps :)
-
I was going to take a couple of those throw away bbq trays to cook some grub up , not sure if those type of bbq's are acceptable :-\ Tried one out in the garden at the weekend and they do smoke a bit for a few munutes but after that burn for at least 2 hrs :) Long as we keep it a good distance from the hut ::)
-
Yeah you can count me in for the weekend aswell lol hopefully will be a good show it is my first so really looking forward to it :)
-
I'll be cooking mine and the missus's steak on a BBQ on Saturday night do Im hoping they're acceptable LOL
Really looking forward to this ...

I didn't think of having a bbq what a good idea lol.

-

Is anyone taking omega spares for a mini swap meet .
-
Iv not got much in the way of spares forthe Omega except for a genuine front grille thats unmolested, and front and rear Elite bumpers that are in the way TBH, but can't bring them down with me coz the missus will go nuts of I put them in the caravan LOL

No worries , not got a lot myself that i really want to part with even though ive been told im hoarding too much ::) Can almost smell the bbq/fish & chips and beer :D Looking forward to the market stalls for a few tools odds and ends to fill the shed some more ;D
-
Am also going to have a mooch around the tool stalls, just to bring home more tools I dont use LOL
-
Emergency shopping needed , forgot the frying pans ;D
-
1 more sleep :)
Going shopping later for the food and supplies for the weekend...
Will also be giving the Miggy a good wash and polish then do it again tomorrow so it looks its best it can for the weekend :)
Been looking forward to this weekend for about 6 years now ....
-
Same here....
It's the first time Pissy has been there since about 2007!!
She's easily going to be cosmetically the tattiest Omega there, but I'm not there to play the 'I've spent more money on my car and done less miles than you' game, I'm there for a sit down, enjoy the sun, see a few faces again, a pint, swap anecdotes, dirty jokes, and some repair/service tips... oh, and the autojumble of course! :y
-
Mine needs a clean as its fast black :(
All loaded up and burgers n bacon on chill . Hopefully get to meet you all :y
-
Might be worth pming me and emd your phone numbers so we can arrange to meet up somewhere.
-
If I get there this year-which I'm still hoping to do-then my car may give yours a run for its money in the cosmetically challenged stakes DBG!
-
I'm hopefully going to show my face! Is anyone taking a Tech2 machine?
-
Not sure if TB is going as not heard from him or Entwood on this meet :(
-

haha!! I managed to add a scratch on my passenger door mirror >:( :'( the other day (was already scratched before I bought it, so at least not as bad as it could be)
Plus doesn't look like I'd have time to fit the new sill cover, so I'll be there with a sill cover with a very obvious missing jacking point cover... only discovered recently the existing jacking point cover was sticky-pad glued on.
Oh, did I mention she's bleeding filthy too? :D
-
Cant be arsed to wash the frontera lol
-
Fronteras are like prostitutes - if they're not dirty, you're not getting your moneysworth :)
-
I must be getting my moneys worth then as its a dirty bitch lol
-
Having bbq with emd,where are you lot hiding then lol
-

Guys, can you walk in for free? Might to pop down later but I'll walk in.
-
Set off to go,broke down returned home.It is once repaired the last time it will break down on me,as I only need it to last a couple of months or so then I'll sell it and never have another Omega.
-

Not sure about walking in mate without a fee :-\ We left at about 8am , neither of us had a very good sleep last night and it looked like it was going to chuck it down :( Indeed the heavens opened up on the way home .
Not a bad weekend but sick of fry ups now ;D Ready for a nice shower and soft bed ::)
Got a few pictures that i load up including the ducks that ate our left overs :D :D

Got home around 2:30ish, I made the mistake thinking that the 'show' would be on Saturday not Sunday the day we was leaving... :( 1st time Iv been...
Wasn't happy about our pitch TBH, I booked well in advance to be amongst VVOC folk as Iv a few mates in that club, but ended up miles away from them on either Hire Fleet or Heron Way.... neighbours was a bunch of drunken chavs who had the security tell them to behave and turn the music down during the day then had them partying all through the night until around 5:30 on Saturday morning.... they then started to party again on Saturday with security telling them to shut-up or leave... they eventually shut-up... really not happy with where we was put, expected to get what paid for, so will be sending an email to Billing to let them know that I wasn't happy...
Anyhoo, think I'll be back next year but turn up early on Friday to get set-up, chill out Saturday and spend the day walking around, then Sunday wait for the show to happen, then Monday go home...
Still didnt see anyone from OOF except for this morning when I caught a glimpse of the Silver Omega on here that has the Supra engine installed....? He drove past me as I was parked up near to Vinnies chippy chatting to a couple of me mates...
Iv not took many pictures as me camera packed in just as I started to use it...
-
Popped down today.
Even being from N'pton and having been there lots of times...... we got lost ??? ??? ??? ::) ;D ended up driving round the residents' static caravans and making a reet balls up ;D
Anyhow, eventually figured out the map...
Got to ABS..... was a bit sad to see only two Omegas but love the Carlton, Senators, Lotus Carltons etc.
However, the highlight for me was the Crestas, vivas, Velox's etc. lovely!!!

Think next year i will just go on a day visit on the saturday or sunday depending on the weather. Nevertheless enjoyed it especially the market stalls and looking at a few modified cars of the older variety ..
I did notice quite a few more show cars that arrived on the sunday so maybe this is the day to go :y
-
I found out that Sunday IS the day to go/be there....
We turned up late Friday, spent Saturday wandering around, I had a wander around the autojumble (wasn't much there for the Omega) I spent most of my time arounf the VVOC camp. Got meself sunburnt, especially top of my head LOL
Think we'll be going next year but setting off early on Friday morning, instead of late ...
Did have a good time TBH but would've been better if we had the pitch we was meant to have and our neighbours would have been quiet....
-
Saw plenty of classics around the area... And a modified black Omega, with large rear spoiler, towing a caravan at a BP station.
Also saw a smashed up classic, in the middle of one of the DCs, possibly a black Viva or Firenza - hope all were OK. :(

That's the one!
Looked very tidy (excepting the tin shed on the rear), even for Gastronomic"I don't like modified bodywork"Kleptomaniac!
We were in the Fintail Mercedes, MrsGK had popped to the cashpoint...
-
TBH the bodywork hasn't been modified except for the Irmy kit and the LC rear spoiler, other than that it's only been lowered - bonnet bra fitted - modified headlights - DRL's .....
Thanks though fella, I don't remember seeing a Merc - but then again, Sunday was a bit of a blur to me as I was in autopilot mode LOL
-
Just had to google what fintail is - thats what I would call a 'classic' Merc... I do seem to vaguely remember 1 of those at the BP station itself... You should've come over and said hello :)

Very nice :y Why you got a bookshelf on the boot :-\
-
Is not a bookshelf or ironing board - its a LC rear spoiler :y LOL
Its not there just for aesthetics either, it does actually work.... slows the top speed by 10MPH :)
