Would other GM LS powered vehicles be welcome to this? Wouldn't mind having ago in the z28?

And how strict is the noise test? Would an iPhone app used under the same test conditions produce similar results or is the testing equipment somewhat keener?


EDIT:

If it helps, the Z28 was officially sold by Vauxhall dealers from 1998-2002.

No Sorry Im asked this every year,
As a Petrolhead I would love to say Yes,
but as we Highly Subsidies the event its a no Sorry.

Shame. Can I ask who the "we" is in the your last sentence?


And curious, if it's only Vaxhall, how come Holdens are allowed? Isn't that a Holden on the webpage pic?

WE is Vauxhall
WE Bring the VXR8 in from Holden/HSV.
Not sure your point but I understand you want to be part of the event unfortunately Corvette are not Paying for the event Sorry

I'm not wanting to de-rail your thread. So if no is still the answer then fine. But it would rather seem of one rule for them and a different rule for me.

I answered your question when you asked above
Answer hasnt changed as these have been the rules since we took the event on a few years ago.
The rule incorporates the link to the Holden cars that we still sell today.
And as said above
Vauxhalls event Vauxhalls Rules

[DougieMc]

And Breathe
The Holden link is still today, the Chevy and Corvette one is not.

Although you said above you didnt want to hi-jack the thread you successfully have.
Maybe you could ask for a similar event over on the Chevy/Corvette forum as that would be more apt for you.
The clue is in the Vauxhall name and Vauxhall Brand, as mentioned as a Petolhead I would live to run a full all Marques VMax event but as its from a Vauxhall budget I have my limits, each year we think ourselves lucky that we are able to have such an even continued as Im sure all that attend do too.
Feel free to continue your thread disruption but Im sure the other members will agree its a great event and we want it to continue without negativity like this being raised.
Thanks Again

Dougie, if it saves grief, you can scratch me from the list, and we'll just spectate. It's a fantastic event and we wouldn't miss the party for anything.

No Grief here just others spoiling posts and events.

MyM8V8 said:

I thought that Javelin were going to refund non refundable hotel bookings as I don't need a hotel now as will be travelling from home in the morning. Dougie?

Its actually us that are refunding but through javelin
as mentioned in the instructions you need to fill out the form

[DougieMc]

Is anyone near Aveley, South Ockendon in Essex
The Wooden Spoon is needing collected before Thunder Road if poss??
Let me know cheers Dougie

[DougieMc]

ARAF said:

FFS, can I not get away from the poxy thing?

I'll be coming through the pipe on Friday evening, probably about 7pm. If that's any good, then I can collect from Thurrock Services maybe?

You have my number Dougie, so can pass it on for us to make arrangements if you like.

Failing that, then one of the others from Kent will be passing close by Aveley, if collection needs to be earlier.

cheers matey I will text you his details if you can liaise

DRC72 said:

I think there should be a new condition going forward, if you are the lucky winner of the spoon and you are not competing the filling year,, you post the spoon back to Dougie.

What confused things was that it wasnt James, Araf or Richie that won it hahhaa.
Im sure this will be ok for next year as its bound to be one of the above

[DougieMc]

Cheers to you lot for coming along
Was great to have You lot, The Cars, The venue and the awesome weather
Fingers crossed we can do it again next year
