Is this a good event? I might bring something. Used to live nearby.

Its a very friendly car meet, for car nuts. I like to get as many different types of car to come to the event old or new. It makes the day more interesting.
Normally we get 50-100 cars. Weather dependant of course

[chris_crossley]

Can't remeber if there's one or two speeds bumps. Even the old TVR wedge can get across them.
Mostly unscathed. Its next to impossible to find a venue that dosn't have the £&*$(*$ things.

I would like to point out they use LOGS! to mark out the major parking sections.
You cannot drive over them or fit throught the 3ft gaps between them. I will be awarding the
prize LOG to the first plank who hits one!

[chris_crossley]

Saw one at the Ferrari/Maserati fest at donninton.
Just ooooooozesssss madness. I like it a LOT!
If i had the cash, i would buy a Zonda. (wife stood behind
rolling her eyes)

Not fussed what you bring northo, MINI COOPERS fine.
If you do decide to bring a nutter car could you post
what your bringing. It will boost the number of people.

Good for your business as well

Chris. Is a prize being nominated for the first person to hit a parking log??

Yep, I'll be bringing a PLANK, awarded to the first PLANK who manages to hit the hughe logs
that they use to mark the car park out with .

Avoid the logs . You can't fit through the gaps .

Hey Chris, whats the idea with the car logo? I obviously know its meant to go in your car, but didn't know what other purpose it served.

It just makes it obvious that your with the group. Not all cars that will attend are Zonda's. So if i see the sign i know to open the tape. If you don't have it and the car parks filling up then don't be suprised if your not allowed in

I would also like people to put there names on a calendar. So i can try and make sure we have enough space. Where heading to 100 Cars

[chris_crossley]

Directions can be found on www.carsinthepark.org.uk

Looks like my mate Mike has had confirmed 10 Lambos at a minimum. Lots of Gallardo's, my Murcie and maybe another plus some Diablo's. Lambo Manchester might even let the Gallardo Spider come along but I think its more likely to be an '06 coupe. Might even outnumber our friends from Maranello

Excellent, i need a close look at a gallardo! (Its on my hit list, wife has approved just a small matter of money )

gemini said:

And Im doing a Car boot! (no choice before you ask - moving house and things into storage soon after) Bugger This sounds like its shaping up to be one of the best!

Car Boot Sale!
You mad! you won't fit much in the renault

[chris_crossley]

I'll be there from 10am onwards.
Most people get there before 12:00.

sider said:

Chris, Are you the organiser?? I emailed the organiser this morning about bringing about 10-15 cars up (mates etc) and need a response to check thats ok prior to making firmer arrangements!

Yep, im the organiser. Didn't get you email?

We still have space for 15 cars. What sort are they?

[chris_crossley]

General Note:
Where after car NUTS, while it's nice to have cool cars. It's not the point. I don't
have a Lambo, yet! At the moment i have a MINI Cooper S. Dosn't stop me appreciating the machines and wanting a good look.

We should have 100+ cars to ogle TVR, Lambo, Ferrari, Lotus and many other machines.

Just obey the rules of Bolton Abbey, our Hosts. If you attend, be aware that people will ask questions about your motors. It's a friendly environment, the people are nice. You will no doubt meet me. I tend to mingle, so if some total stranger says hi and call's himself chris. Then it's probably me
