[size=14]I'm just putting a quick poll together to see if it is worth trying to arrange some sort of meet for the pvs 09.
I've only found a couple of people that are interested.
Ideally i would love to show my car, and have a load of us do the same, and do it on an OOF pitch.
I think i may be dreaming a little.
But it would be nice to see how much interest there is.[/size]

Im not that bothered either... But I still enjoyed it! Its basicly a big vauxhall meet at the end of the day, which cant be a bad thing!

Just have to ignore all the chavs in their maxpowerd novas!

been for the last couple of years found a nice lil campsite a short distance from the pod and spend the weekend with freinds and there families ....
pvs is well worth a visit if youve never been before but wouldnt advice camping onsite due to the drunken shananagans you hear about ...
most of the vauxhall brands are present in some form or another ...

bighed · « **Reply #5 on:** 31 December 2008, 16:41:39 »

I will be going, as did last year in mig, and so will christian in his mig. We were only talking about an OOF stand last night so would be well up for showing

steverubberduck · « **Reply #6 on:** 31 December 2008, 17:05:54 »

[size=14]That's good to know, but i think were too late for a stand on pvs 09.
I was looking on a forum on another site i'm a member of, and they said that they had been making preperations for pvs 09 for the last 3 months.
If there's enough interest, it may be worth suggesting something to admin for us to put up a stand in pvs 10.
But by the look of the response i've had, i don't think there's enough interest on oof.

PaulW · « **Reply #7 on:** 31 December 2008, 17:15:22 »

I was there last year, and every other year since 2003

I organise it for a forum I own & run, but last year we had no stand... Might have one this year tho...

Last year I...

did a piss-poor 1/4 mile...
got stuck in the mud...
drank nowhere near enough on the Saturday night...

Will be there again this year, so might just see a few peeps about!

Hopefully my Omega will look a little different too by then...

As for organising one for OOF, I remember last year that people were saying noooo, others were with other forums & such, but I can give details for a chap called Ian who manages all the stands and such if someone does decide to try organise this for OOF.

*edit2*

If someone does organise this, you can only have as many car passes as tickets purchased for the show event. If OOF do have a stand though, I'll happily put my car on if you want it

Its usually worth putting down as many car passes as tickets purchased too, as then you get more space to play with. Tickets are sold on a per-person basis, car passes are *free*.

ngrainqey · « **Reply #8 on:** 06 January 2009, 19:23:53 »

i think the reason theres a lack of interest is because alot of people on here are already members of other paying clubs (if you want to call an internet based forum such as vxon a club)
or even vvoc for example that have PVS stands
i dont think the forum users see oof as something that they'd be interested for example of having a stand at pvs which is full of chaved up corsas, novas, astras and some vectras and cavs

if im wrong then i want everybody on oof to tell me

steverubberduck · « **Reply #9 on:** 06 January 2009, 19:28:01 »

The only reason i put up the thread to start with was i was just enquiring to whether anyone on here would be up for having a pitch at the pvs, and showing their pride and joy.
Obviously you get all the chavs in their little 1.1 boomboxes.
But, we are the daddies.... Literally.
Mines a 3.0l mv6, put that next to a corsa, and who'll win off the lights?

But the show isn't just for chavs, it's for vauxhall enthusiasts, and i would consider myself one.

Christian · « **Reply #10 on:** 06 January 2009, 20:41:33 »

If theres enough people between here and June, would it be nice to put a stand together!

Im sure 5 months should do it :-?

steverubberduck · « **Reply #11 on:** 06 January 2009, 20:44:17 »

Thats the thing, if we want to put a stand up i think we're too late for this year, but would be interested in one for next year?

No no no, LCOC are the daddies 8-) (Lotus Carlton Owners Club)

And its not too late to sort something either, the deadline to get tickets ordered it by the 1st week of May. You need to send the order to Ian at PVS/Future Publishing by then so you can get a good pitch.

Ian_D · « **Reply #13 on:** 07 January 2009, 00:23:50 »

If there is an OOF stand, I will be on it no mater what!!!

However at the moment I will be going with another club (not 100% sure yet which one).

What clubs are you lot thinking of / are going with to pvs 2009? We could go with the same club and get a few migs together maybe if all else fails?!?

steverubberduck · « **Reply #14 on:** 07 January 2009, 10:51:21 »

well at the moment, i'm either going with vectra-sport (but leaving the car in the car park), or i will be showing it with xtremevx.com
Only a small club, just starting up, but they have a pitch, and you can show any vauxhall model,
currently, i am the only miggy on the site....

not any more mate.

PaulW · « **Reply #16 on:** 07 January 2009, 18:13:05 »

I'd say just get a few peeps who go to PVS together & get tickets/passes for oof stand. Doesn't stop you from mincing about & socialising with the others, but it would help the site get its name out there a little more tbh.

I know there is a stigma on the show that its all 'Chavvy' but its not the case tbh, there are families and such out there, and well, if any of the visitors can see how good the Omega's are all in one place, it might just get more new owners & members

Christian · « **Reply #17 on:** 08 January 2009, 12:20:51 »

Any dates for PVS 2009 yet guys?

v6venom · « **Reply #18 on:** 08 January 2009, 14:00:46 »

7th june 09 @ santa pod

Ian_D · « **Reply #19 on:** 08 January 2009, 15:52:02 »

I dont see PVS as a chavvy event!

v6venom · « **Reply #20 on:** 08 January 2009, 16:08:23 »

me neither although when you enter the pod and see some of the campers it may cross our mind`s breifly ...

Elite Pete · « **Reply #21 on:** 08 January 2009, 16:38:45 »

Ive only been to Santa Pod once, it was for the very first OOF meet and there were Chavs all around us, twas Chav Town

Not brilliant, but you get the idea of what its like.

I didnt camp there, I went to Billing which was fantastic, then moved onto PVS Sunday morning

stuy112 · « **Reply #24 on:** 09 January 2009, 17:23:26 »

I'll be off with Club Irmscher again. Went last year in my Cav v6 and went on the strip a few times.
Usually go on the Friday and camp at a nice campsite till Monday. Just set off early on Sunday and join the queues, but have a relaxing night after the show.

i may well join you Stu

although the travel lodge on upton way wasn't too bad either

stuy112 · « **Reply #27 on:** 11 January 2009, 23:53:51 »

Is that the place where I got leathered with v-s at trax?
My other alternative is a travel lodge at Rushden.
Will be a good weekend either way

tmx · « **Reply #28 on:** 17 January 2009, 12:18:25 »

Wooo, the right answer!

Is that the bit on the entrance side on the right just before the funfair? We had to do a demo there once, normally at the other end of the tarmac right round the other side

Oh and Silverstone/Santa Pod, 40mins? I work at Silverstone and am always at pod for the skiddings, Northampton is about halfway

Glynn · « **Reply #41 on:** 27 January 2009, 20:14:36 »

i'll be there with vectra-sport , but i'll track you down if you have a stand

PV SHOW NOW ALL WEEKEND

Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th June 2009.

Gates will be open for campers from 5pm on Friday, 5th June, with both Saturday and Sunday featuring all-day Vauxhall-only ‘Run What You Brung’ action, spectacular demo runs from the 270mph Fireforce jet car and various Vauxhall-based drag cars.

The huge club display area will feature 2500 club cars, while the ‘Park ‘n’ Pose’ area will give other proud Vauxhall owners the opportunity to show off their cars. Expect to find every kind of performance and modified Vauxhall - from stripped out ì11-secondî Novas, incredibly-styled Corsa and Astra show cars, rapid VXR’s and maybe even a few of the ìoldies but goodiesî from a few years back such as Chevettes, Vivas and Crestas.

With a massive trade area, cars for sale, bags of entertainment on both nights, and hosted by TV star and auto-legend Mike Brewer, this is the one weekend in the show calendar that no Vauxhall fan wants to miss!

Steve Foster, Events Manager for the PV Show said:
ìGiven the rapid growth of the show over the past seven years, moving to a full two day event was a natural progression. We are really excited about the additional features and attractions the extra day will allow us to bring to the event and expect 2009 to be fantastic weekend festival of celebration for all Vauxhall fans.î

Saturday and Sunday day tickets £15 in advance
Weekend tickets (including Friday & Saturday night camping) - £33
