Is there a PF for 2009?
Discussion
I'm one of the organisers of the Low 'n' Loud modified car show held at The Haynes Motor Museum, nr Yeovil - I'd be happy to reserve an area for a pistonheads display etc if everyone's up for it. We've also booked the small test track for public use. Its a really relaxed affair, Theres usually a good mix of cars from classic to chav but we keep tight rein on the latter.
The date for 2009 is Sunday 5th July - the website will be updated with all 2009 info soon www.lownloud.net.
Let me know if i need to save some space ?.

Thanks for the offer though, but this is more of a get drunk and move Vixpys' tent sort of event, not a show.

I'd just returned from worshipping the porcelain goddess when I heard "WHO STOLE MY F***ING TENT!" Funniest thing ever Had the scariest ride home with him.... hungover, in the pissing rain, him with his Chimp was not the way I wanted to go home....
Ah... they were the old dayz
That chav incident with his sports exhaust and revving it every 5 mins was funny as fk when vixpy used the chimp to show him what a real car sounded like....

A couple of us tried to organise something last year, after Ted confirmed there wouldn't be another one. After a lot of initial interest, it fell a bit flat But those of us that went, had a great time Garlick said:
We had hoped to secure a venue for a summer event, but sadly in the end the final costs were just too high.
Has there been any member consultation on that?After all, BTaP is way more expensive than PF was, yet there are still enough PHers willing to pay out to, I assume, make that at the very least break even?
I'm not suggesting people would be willing to pay the same for a camping weekend as they would for BTaP, but I can't imagine the costs are as high either? Surely it's difficult to know if the costs are too high without getting a feel for what we're prepared to pay?

Silverstone Classic £79 for a 3 day pass
Campsite with facilities £35
Total £114 for an International Event.
Assume camping at a club circuit (Brands/Don/Snett etc) remains at £35.
A weekend race, say the British F3 and GT Championship would cost £20 for two days racing.
That's 55 notes. Throw in some haggling, £50 easily achievable.
Throw £20 on top for a £70 ticket price - not bad for a weekend camping and racing IMO.
Say 150 turn up (easily achievable)
150 x 20 = £3k to play with.
£2k on a marquee
£band? for one night?
You don't need to lay on a lot of entertainment, most will be happy to yarn in front of a BBQ, and as we're car nuts, wandering around the pits and talking cars is enough.
Just a thought

So, are we going to organise our own? last years DIY was a bit of a flop, but we could try again.
May I suggest that it is nothing more than a get together in a rally field at a half decent camp site.
Beer, BBQ and car talk, nothing more.

2/3/4 October
Britcar 6 hour at Silverstone
3 day pass £30
Onsite camping
I've enquired about the camping cost, and to cofirm it's inside the circuit or directly adjacent to.
Could be cold though

Could be amusing to turn up in a Sagaris and park next to a custom hot hatch that ended up costing the owner £50k and saying "and look what you *could* have had" in your best game show voice-over guy voice.

To be fair, I could take the Cerb and probably compete the previous owner put in a £2k+ installation, it's ridiculously loud, although I suspect they'd look at me oddly when I crank up ZZ Top above their drum and bass sessions Mind you, the response would be "yeah, but where iz the ICE man?
