It was tucked up in the corner of the envelope and is not exactly huge but I have it now
From Kate and her big lilo
:shock:
Great, Kate and her big LILO :o
Well, if you want anyone to blow up your big lilo there will be a nice selection of strong young men only willing to oblige... :shifty:
Chris,
It is Stuart Kynoch our chairman/membership secretary, I spoke to him a few weeks ago and he mentioned he was going.
He is paying by cheque
You mean young man? I think you're on your own on that one Ben! :lol:Quote:

Oh, just a note for everyone (not sure if it was written earlier). No glass is allowed on site. Only cans & plastic bottles... They may search cars on entry and remove any glass they find.
Lol, no I'm bringing my own stuff, but I have no tent and pete has a big yellow one :)
ALso, Kel is well aware that I can't organise my way out of a paper bag, so is providing Pete with enough food to feed both of us (and probably half of the MR2 village as well! ;) )
I'm bringing beer :D
Will be nice to finally meet you as well - I'll be there some time friday afternoon :)
Cool.
Food, knew I forgot about something. :problem: Drat. Better go shopping before I go.
I've got a spare tent you can borrow if you want...? It's fairly big for one person too...
Thanks Max, but I think I'm sorted. If you're stuck for food, I also have various soups and super-noodles. Tasty...
Suppose I'd better wash the car at some point before I go... :think:
RIght, on a slightly different note...
In the past I used the IMOC template for car info sheet at JAE. Seeing it again this year reminded me about it again:
http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=123580
So I've decided to do one for the Mk1 Club.
In blank form it looks like this:
http://www.borealis.me.uk/Mk1ClubJAEFlyer/sample1.png
Alternatively there is a 'lite' version with no background, which will be cheaper & easier to print:
http://www.borealis.me.uk/Mk1ClubJAEFlyer/sample2.png
My filled in one:
http://www.borealis.me.uk/Mk1ClubJAEFlyer/sample3.png
You can download the blank one here:
http://www.borealis.me.uk/Mk1ClubJAE...ubJAEFlyer.doc
Or the lite version here:
http://www.borealis.me.uk/Mk1ClubJAE...EFlyerLite.doc
Feel free to use these for display on your car (i.e. inside the windscreen) at JAE. In the past these were used for the show & Shine competition, etc, but I'm not sure these are going ahead this year. Still, would be nice if all the Mk1 club attendees had a similar style info sheet if possible...?
You don't have to fill in all the info or forum ID (can use just your first name if you want)... It's just a starting point. As i'll probably be walking around with shirts with my username on the back most the weekend, it makes sense for me to use my Forum ID on the sheet... ;)
Also, while I'm 'borrowing' info from IMOC... Malcolm's recreated his checklist thread of what to pack here:
http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=117892
May be useful to someone who's never been before.
Great stuff Max :+: Thanks for that. I did some of those when i was events organiser, plus an info pack on arrival with all the mk1 stuff we'd planned at the show.
The window info was definately well recieved that time - its nice to get to know what cars are who's.
I think we can finally come to JAE, albeit a bit later in the show.
I will have to get a ticket at the gate, but aim to be there for sat night and all sunday now, so i'm looking forward to it.

:+: :+: :+:
And even I can tell there are no Mr2's in those photos.
Good to see you all.
What a brilliant weekend! It was great to put faces to usernames (even though I didn't speak to everyone there - I better go next year too :D ).
Notable moments:
Turning up without recognising anyone, only to hear "That's Ben Edwards!!" from Oukie, who promptly told me I'd parked in the wrong section :oops:
Anything related to Pete and alcohol (including the instant sobriety offered by GH)
Plotting how to siphon diesel out of a nearby transit van so that we could continue playing said GH.
The NOISE POLICE!!!
Drunk photography, followed 5 hours later by hung-over photography :?
Being first in the breakfast que.
Haribo vodka (DO NOT try this!) and subsequently putting the world to rights until 4.15am - in between Jo's giggling fits.
And, of course, loads of nice cars and nicer people. What a great MR2 community we have when we're away from the keyboards!
Big thanks to the organisers - the whole weekend went off like a dream :clap:
Finally uploaded the pics!

Thanks for the GH gurning photo's Ben :+:
I can honestly say that was the best car festival I have been to for a long long time.
Good to meet some mk1 peeps, even thought the club ticket sales seemed low, the mk1 was actualy pretty well represented with a couple of dozen coming and going over the course of the weekend.
Guitar Hero antics were ace, hog roast was yummy and apart from the freezing cold nights, the weather was excellent. See you all again next year :+:
thanks for the pics ben.. god i look good in them
how can you not remember the pics of the car in the dark..
you got me to shine a light on the car and you trned off your flash to see if it could work...
Aye, thanks for the pics so far! I'll try to upload mine this week (I was gonna say there aren't many as I wasn't in a photographic mood and my battery was flat - but there's 54!! :wtf: ) and put them on here... Well, some of them. We all know what MR2s look like after all. (No people photos from me this year unfortunately).
I absolutely loved the social side of it though. I hardly saw any of the rest of the show - though I'd never planned to as I really just wanted to see people I'd not seen in a while. In that respect it was ace. :+: I reckon it was the best JAE I've been to - out of the 4 I've been to so far.
Highlights for me? Getting lost trying to get to the MR2 Village (I'd been misdirected at the entrance), parking up in the show & shine car park where there was only one other entrant, and being told I could enter if I wanted... :lol: So I did, having made absolutely no effort at all. Unfortunately another car joined and entered... still at least I came third! :lol: (Out of 3!!! :lol: :lol: ) Wait until I upload the photos of the other two - they were gleaming, mine... well, wasn't!! :lol:
What else? Staying up late and chatting with a few of the other guys - notably Ben, Jo and Chris (Mk1 Chris) as we ended up being (so it seemed given the lack of lights and noise elsewhere) the last awake... :lol: Oh, and Jo's dog making love to Ben's arm... :lol: Haribo Vodka... :+:
Awesome weekend. Many thanks to Chris for sorting out the Mk1 club side of things. :+:
Loads of Mk1s there in the end, though not as many Mk1 club members as there could've been, so not a huge impact in that respect. But still, was definitely nice to see the Mk1s well represented.
Plus I ended up talking to general public show-goers for more than an hour on Sunday morning about the Mk1 - hopefully some new members there. Then as I was leaving (I was the last person to leave the MR2 village) someone else who was visiting the park came over to chat - apparently they'd owned a late (G-reg) Mk1 when the cars were younger too...!
Randy little sod! That's the last time I make a fuss of him... :PQuote:

I liked the fact that on Saturday mine was the best example of a Mica Blue Mk1 on the IMOC stand, possibly in the MR2 village. :+:
It was also the only one there, which is why it was the best. :oops:
On Sunday, another turned up so I was second.
But it has swanky colour-changing paint though! :lol:Quote:
