Luego Owners Club At Newark 07
Well I think its time to call it a wrap on the poll, it has been pretty consistent on about an 80/20 split in favour of Luego Owners Club.
So Mark if you could get the banner organised for that I and the rest of us would be grateful. Cheers.
Anyway I have today had confirmation From Newark that we will be allocated stand 53 in the displays area as per their map
Linky to page with map
Other info for those camping from Friday evening there will be free entertsinment on Friday evening as well as Saturday night party. this will be form
7pm in the Cedric Ford building.
Exhibitors can arive FROM 7:00AM, you do not need to wait for public opening times. The public access halls do not open until 10am Saturday and 9:30
on Sunday.
In total we had 32 people voting in the poll, It would be nice if we could get ALL 32 of us there, I know you are a great bunch of lads and that you
will all do your best to make it.
Big John do you know if the "Beast" will be attending as a rolling chassis.??????
Provisions wise I think Stoneleigh worked pretty well, so I will try and do the same again from my side.
Lets put on an even better show this Newark. (16th & 17th June)

i would say that at the moment the beast will be attending, barring any major problems, the chassis my not be painted as i don't know how long
the dry build will take, or how many mods we will need to make, but it will be there.
fingers crossed, if mark has worked the wiring out right, it will be a runner!!!!!!!

To see the beast is reason enough on it's own to attend!

I know the feeling, but mine now has a camshaft in it.
Oh yes I forgot the general area for camping plan. I would suggest as per last year, in through the gates, turn left and about 150 - 200 yards down on
the right.

Very close to finishing now.
May even start the engine in the next week. Once it starts I will put in my SVA application. Then panic over everything else that needs finishing.

it should be a rolling chassis by the weekend, have decided to go 4 stud, wanted to go granada 5 stud but would have to have to many parts made
special, and would have to use second hand hubs ect, so getting the last few bits tommorow ( thursday ) 4 stud from rally design,
the good news is, from info given the engine will go under the bonnet, might sit on the engine but it will be under a standard bonnet.

You were right about the weather Richard! Really needed monsoon tyres on the way up on Friday. Must get some sort of roof sorted.

I would just like to thank ALL you lads (and lasses) that turned up. Whilst the weather did put a bit of a downer on things, the effort that you ALL
put in was much appreciated.
Mark & John, I just hope that we don't get an ASBO for your wee beastie after this weekend. (Yes I STILL so want to press THAT button.
can't you see the grin from where you are.)
Neil, your motor was a joy to see and certainly looks worth all the effort and un-necessary hassle you had to endure.
Mel, good to see you again.
Geoff, really glad to see you again mate, Glad that you dried out and hope you had a good journey home.
To all those that I have not mentioned in person, It was good to see you there and thank you for coming. If you came with a car well done and well
turned out. If you are still building, keep going cos like me you must be nearly there and it will be nice to get to next years shows with a finished
car.
Thanks to all from Clive.

Clive,
I think we all owe you a huge vote of thanks for sorting things out (again) - The banners looked great and there was lots of interest from all of the
onlookers.
Having a wander around the site I think the LOC certainly made it presence felt (and heard!) and the cars all looked the business. A suggestion for
the next show (from walking around at the Goodwood festival of speed a few years ago) - We could do with some info sheets on the cars - I have an A4
laminator and would be happy to do these up if people emailed through a worked up sheet - Nothing fancy, but questions like; Where did you get you
engine? How long did it take? What'll she do? etc. seemed to be asked often.
My over fuelling seemed to have improved a bit from the run up as the run back was a blinder - I don't think I overtook anything less that 3
cars at a time
Donnington it is then - Hopefully a few more on the road by then.
Cheers, Neil.
If you pay peanuts...
Mentale, yar? Yar, mentale!
Drive it like you stole it!

I'll seconded that. Thanks for all your hard work and getting us together.
It was nice to meet some new faces and catch up with those from previous shows.
Lets hope for better weather at Donnington.
And all you Velocity owners get them out there, It felt like the Viento owners club at times
