Locost Sweden @ Stoneleigh
Micael - 27/12/04 at 01:24 PM

Hi Guys!

Locost Club Sweden are planning to visit Stoneleigh kitcar show 2005. We will be about 10 "locosters" (give or take 5)

Does anyone have any ideas about good hotels, B&B, transportations, etc in the area.

It would be fun if we could meet up with an other Locost club for a beer or two

us hardy types use tents,are you flying/driving etc?


Micael - 27/12/04 at 02:05 PM

We will be flying to Uk.
Then we will probably rent cars.

Tent is not an option for us cause we will need the weight to bring home our new bargins

what date is stoneleigh ? - if some of you guys are prepared to bring some nice volvo parts for me , i might be prepared to lend you a tent in the back garden as a stop off point , especially if you fly to humberside airport .

I'm taking the caravan and awning and hopefully putting on an evenings entertainmet with Hicost like we did last year. I have a spare tent and sleeping bags I could bring along and I'm sure a few others could do the same to accomodate your mates.
Anyone else able to help?

There is a lodge within the stoneleigh site for the less hardy,like those northerners that give it large but never turn up.


theconrodkid - 27/12/04 at 07:46 PM

Bah!!! I was there, I even has a picture
to prove it

What parts/nurses are you guys looking for?
My older sister is a nurse, will she do?
She even has a Volvo (745 GL -88)

The tent thing sounds nice, I will check with the other guy about it.


bob - 28/12/04 at 09:11 PM

You took that pic at donington with james in the drivers seat and conrodkid with his back to you in the black T shirt,i was standing to the left out of shot.

We will all catch up at stoneleigh,if you are definatly camping contact us before and we will make sure we have more food for the bar-b-q.

If you can't get on-site, then perhaps the best places to try is probably somewhere like:
Warwick University (5 minutes drive) (probably cheapest)
Anywhere else in Leamington / Warwick / Kenilworth (or, at a push, Coventry!)

penta marine cranks will be accepted !! B230 to 2.5 litres

They are rare even here in sweden and it might be a bit tricky to take it on the flight

Anything else? (beside those swedish nurses)


Volvorsport - 29/12/04 at 06:02 PM

hmmm , its difficult when its only small weights involved , maybe a couple of cams from enem or so ! , if penta stuff is rare there , im gonna be struggling .

Ooooh , i know i do want a set of head studs from autotech motor for a T5 engined customer - it all depends - i might want them before stoneleigh , be sure tho , that i will have something for you to bring .


Micael - 30/12/04 at 01:07 PM

No probs, just let me know


Micael - 16/2/05 at 10:12 AM

We are 3 (so far) Swedish Locosters that will visit Stoneleigh this year.


bob - 16/2/05 at 02:12 PM

Do you need tents or are you in the lodge ?

Grosvenor Exhibitions for more info on the show on 44 01775722900

I think the 44 is ok for uk but i'm sure someone will correct me if i am wrong.


ned - 16/2/05 at 02:16 PM

bob, i think you have to remove the preceeding zero of the uk no. ie +44 1775 722900
