HOLDEN DAY ( VBOA at Billing)

[EH*ROB]

G'Day Rev Heads,

HOLDEN DAY, SUNDAY 19TH SEPT at the BILLING AQUADROME Nr NORTHAMPTON.

www.billingaquadrome.com/home.php

Sorry it's short notice, but as I was only elected last month as the new Events Officer, for the Holden UK Register, I haven't had much time to get things organised.

We , the HOLDEN UK REGISTER have been allocated a Club Stand at the VBOA (Vauxhall Bedford Opel Association) Show next weekend, from Fri 17th to Sunday 19th September, (Sunday being the main Day).

I would like to invite some of the HSV owners to come along and park with us on the Holden Stand.

Please let me know if you would like to come along as you will need a Entry Pass for your car. Rally Plaques are avalable for only £1.00. (The Holden Uk Reg will pay for those as a thankyou to you for attending and supporting the Club).

I have a site map and if I can I will get Paul to post it on the Site. But if not the Stand is the SECOND STAND, ON THE LEFT, just over the small bridge as you go in. The road bends to the right, then as it straightens up we are there on the left just before the second road on the left. (confused ?) I can arrange to meet up outside the Show if you would like.

I will update this message as I get more info, ok.

Please post on this Forum if you wish to join us.

Regards,

Rob Apsey
Events Officer
Holden UK Register.

G'Day Guys,

Yes another very good weekend. Arrived Sat arvo with Eric (V2HSV) & Pauline driving in just behind me. It was a long old trip in the EH, about 3 hrs all up with the 30min's in traffic jams, not good no the back. Love the Car Eric & the Sting Red sets it of !

We set about putting the tents up (if you could call min a tent), Paul & Annaleise arrived about just before dark so once they had there tent up & we set-up the Gazebo's, we lit the Barbie had some tucker then Eric set up the laptop & we watched 25yrs of Holden at Bathurst on DVD, what a way to end the night.

Up early, showers & wash the cars before the other guy's arrived. Was very Nice to meet Des (Kiwihsv) & his wife, from NZ. A good turnout after-all with 8 cars in the end.

I want to thank you guy's & Girls from the HSV UK Drivers Club for attending as apart from being a great bunch of people, your cars went down a treat !

Had a better run back home, no traffic jams & home in 2.5 hrs. Also had a little fun like Will, but not with a Ferrari just a K reg About a 1971 Vauxhall Victor (Victor is a lawn mower in Aus). Well I take it easy on long trips, sit around 60-65 MPH, so when this Victor shot past me I thought, the EH won't like some pommie car showing him up so I put the foot down a bit got up behind him & sat there for a while. When we go to a hill, I thought I'll have him now, so I went past him. When we go onto the flat & I went back to 60mph, he can back at me so I put the pedal to the metal & was off ! Got up to 80MPH and he dropped off. Must say that's the fastest I've been in her & I had to fight her a bit to stay in a straight line. But it was fun. When I slowed down again he went passed but wouldn't look over. Bad looser hay.

Get some pic's to Paul ASAP.

EH Holden, Drive On !
