If the weather is decent (and I get my Honda's brakes sorted) I'll pop down for a look around. Think a friend is bringing one of his Lancias along.

Your taste in cars is very good... your tatse in shirts is like marmite!!
You're far too pretty to hit, BUT Andrew looks like he has been hit before. I'll bring my stick with me in case he needs a top-up!!!
I'll be there in the Italian Audi and will be bring the wee one to her 1st car show/outing. See you Sunday.

yes Have asked Hopetoun to acomodate that
they say they can and will discuss the logistics with them again on sunday morning. Please indicate to the people directing cars that you are from the forum.
They have promised not to set the dogs on you... this year!

Hi guys
Sorry for the confusion which was caused by Hopetoun. We had agreed a flat £5 fee per the posters and flyers with them in January. they then changed their minds on this a couple of weeks ago and inisted we charge visitors the standard rates. that resulted in my posts and the press releases etc. They have now 'appreciated' that they have caused some confusion and embarrassment as well as possible legal issues. So, the position is now........ that if ANYONE turns up and asks for the £5 admission they will honor that.
I have asked as in demanded a special area for Pistonheads/ exotic non show cars. I will try to position this tomorrow when I arrive and survey the areas as there have been a few changes to the car park area since last year and I told them we cant have low ground clearance cars in a bouncy field!
Andrew and I are doing our best but you will appreciate the venue is subject to their control We just do this for fun and to try to raise money for charity. We suggest and request but they control and take the money.
Hope this explains the clearly contradictory posts

Back from a weeks holiday an hour ago. I'll get up in the morning to come over to this, it looks great. My attendance all depends on the car, if it starts (been a bit dodgey lately) and if i have enough money for petrol biggrin

Great day, well done to Paul & Andrew and liked the ph parking area right as near the house as possible. Will also upload a few pics later.
