Can anyone confirm that the "Ultima Park" is in the usual location, on the end of Block 59?

Keep an eye out for my Gulf Blue Evolution body which should be in the Ultima booth this weekend, and grab some pics for me when you see it

Incredibly, I have managed to pack a tent, a sleeping bag, an inflatable lilo, my Ultima baseball cap and some spare woolly socks all into the passenger side luggage area for the weekend.

That leaves me a whole driver side luggage area for a spare jumper and tons of extra room in there incase I buy anything. Almost a practical car!! Last time I slept in a tent was when I was at school tho.

[deadscoob]

You bringing that same tent?

[renmure]

haha, no. That was a scout tent that slept about 12 of us and was transported in a minibus.This is a brand new fangled single pole, one man, Vango thingy that the nice man in the camping shop said was perfect for my needs. I hope it is freezing cold tho cause he also sold me an Everest Extreme sleeping bag that compacts down into the size of a fist but should keep me cozy down to -18 degrees. Quite novel having a tent and sleeping bag that fit in the glovebox. I do have the phone number of the nearest Hilton on speed dial tho, just incase this camping lark isn't as much fun as I vaguely remember it to be

Yep I'll be there on the Sunday and Monday picking up my Evolution convertible on display on the Ultima stand, I'll be camping as well see you guys there.

Anyone taking a LS3 / LS7 version to the outdoor area? I could do with having a proper look over one. Cheers, Jon.

I'll also be there camping on pitch 59. Plan to be there about mid day sat.

[Ultimike]

I'll be down on Monday hopefully so I'll look forward to seeing you guys then.

[Steve_D]

Hope everyone got home OK.

Some pics as requested. Not helped by the blue carpet.
Richard said there had been other pics taken over the weekend which he will forward.

Well, that was a fun weekend and great to put names to faces and cars to usernames

Very good of Richard to put up the Ultima Gazebo and supply the fizzy drinks as well.

Almost all of my pics are of Lancia Stratos cars but other than that....

[humble]

Steve_D: thanks for those! The body just about matches the floor, hopefully it got a good reaction. What did the note say?

Wish I was there to see everyone's rides outside, would love to see more pics of those too. I have to live vicariously through your pictures until I can make a trip to the UK.

That white one looks great

[JBC]

Got loads of good info this show. Thanks for the chat Steve D! Loads of fantastic cars, all an inspiration for my build. Hopefully will show mine next year. .

[Digimon]

Does anyone know if the chap with the black Ultima that had engine problems get back home ok?
