  1. Title edited. They know who they are, nobody else needs to.
  2. Aye its always the saddest part of ownership. I lost my little mate a while ago, even though she tried to kill me on a regular basis I miss her. I was also thinking of your sky dive yesterday. Lost a very good and much to young friend to that bloody disease yesterday..
  3. Less that a day in Fraserburgh dry dock and done a runner already.

  7. Anyone who is thinking of leaving it until nearer the time to decide if they are coming please let me know. I will be handing out invites to the locals about a month in advance and need to get a good idea of numbers.
  8. New Orleans is awesome although in my opinion it had lost some of its character even before the Katrina disaster. It well worth a visit though. Just watch this place if you are driving. http://www.patobriens.com/patobriens/
  9. Another well known 80s star is lined up for next year too.

  12. Do it in style and rent a classic vw camper van. I have a mate who rents them out.
  13. ARRIVING. From J36 of the M6 its a straight run in. There is a speed camera on the A590. If you come through Grange over Sands there is a fair sized speed bump. To avoid it stay on the A590 until you get to the Anglers Arms and turn off there. Anglers ArmsOld Barrow RoadHaverthwaiteCumbriaPostcode: LA12 8AJ Some of our roads are pretty narrow and the tourists tend to drive in the middle of the road. We also have dry stone walls which get knocked occasionally meaning there may be rocks in the road. Our local wildlife also has a habit of throwing itself in front of cars. Badgers dont do the grills much good. As its a social weekend zeds are not needed. For anyone camping but not coming in a zed please ask me and once you have unloaded I will show you where to park. Parking at the hall will be busy so please use the space sensibly so we can get all the cars on. The alternative camp site with power hook ups is about 1.8 miles away. They have a shower toilets and a kitchen. £12 per night to stay there. FRIDAY NIGHT. This is a meet and greet at the Rose and Crown. I have an up and coming young musician playing at the pub. There will be food on all day and its very good. It will be busy so those wishing to eat please book a table in advance. Hopefully the weather will be good so we can use the outside space too. SATURDAY DAY. Lyndzzz will be doing a charity parachute jump at 1030 so make sure you sponsor her, its a very worthy cause. There is a lot to do in the area so the choice is yours.There will be a drive out at around 10 am. Many like to take the steam train up to the lake and chill on the steamers. There is plenty of time to get off and explore Bowness and Ambleside. I would suggest Bowness, everything is close to the jetty. http://www.lakesiderailway.co.uk/#_ SATURDAY NIGHT. The bar at the hall will be open around 6 pm with the BBQ also starting around then. Ben is going to keep the prices down for food and drink. Please ensure you have sufficient drink to last about an hour. Midge will be starting at 8 pm so please all be seated by then. I stress that this request is not from Midge or his management but from me. No flash photography please. As soon as Midge finishes we will get the raffle out of the way. I then intend to rearrange the seeating before Pink as Floyd start. They will do 2 hours and I will have tables set up.B, Midges manager will have her sound desk in the middle of the hall. She needs to hear whats going on hence anyone sitting near her please dont distact her. You will need a wristband to get into the hall on Saturday night but just ask me when you arrive and I will give you one. SUNDAY MORNING. Ed, a motoring journalist will be judging the cars again. He has free choice to pick whuichever six cars he likes so there are no categories. I appreciate many of you will have travelled a long way to get here and you may have done the drive out. Dont worry too much about detailing. SUNDAY AFTERNOON. For those who are staying around for Sunday I was looking for something to do apart from all the options already on offer. This is one option that I will be doing. http://www.dentmusicandbeer.com/about Its about 35 miles away so a nice relaxed drive out. I am waiting for conformation as to who will be playing but one artist may be fmiliar. GENERAL. There is a Londis shop in the village. We also have a chippy and a chemist. The nearest v power is in Ulverston about 8 miles away so fill up before you arrive. There is a very good shop at Holker Hall which sells local produce. Its not cheap but is good. There is also a very good shop in Cartmel which has a better range at better prices. This is home of the world famous Sticky Toffee Pudding.I can also get potted shrimps plus a wide selection of good from Cartmel Valley Game supplies. http://cartmelvalleygamesupplies.com/ If anyone wants anything from here let me know and I can get it delivered. http://www.holker.co.uk/ http://www.cartmelvillageshop.co.uk/ We also have a local zoo. http://www.wildanimalpark.co.uk/ TAXIS. We have a few taxis available but they need to be booked well in advance. If you want to book one for the end of the evening I would call early afternoon. BAR. The bar this year will be selling a full range of wines and spirits but bottled beer. This is to keep the price down and give a better range of beer. Ben and Antonia from the Rose and Crown put a lot of time and effort supporting us. If anyone wants to bring their own drink then that fine but the prices at the bar will be very reasonable. BREAKFAST. The Rose and Crown will be doing breakfasts but it will be busy so its better to book. CAMPING. For those camping at the hall please start to pitch away from the tarmac fist. Any space left on the grass can be used for cars. Anyone who wants the power hook up option can use Allithwaite community centre which is 1.8 miles away. Its £10 per night without power and £12 with power. This will ease congestion at the hall and give us more room for the cars. The community hall also has toilets, showers and a kitchen which you can use for free. BBQs. Not a problem but please dont put disposable BBQs directly onto the grass. RAFFLE. The 350z forum have been very generous in supporting LakeZ this year but much of the money to cover the cost comes from the raffle so purchasing tickets helps a lot.
  14. Wow thats a piece of kit. I used to drive something similar in the Emirates many years ago. Worst job I ever had.
  15. Hi and welcome to the forum. I had a mate who wins the Alfa challenge most years take a 350z around Donny and he thought it was pretty handy.
  16. Thats pretty much what I have said. I never knew I had so many friends.
  17. The locals arent so impressed, they all want invites but arent getting them.

  19. The Rose and Crown have just finished refurbishing a double room so this is now available for a minimum of two nights, Friday and Saturday. Not sure of the price but you wont get cheaper in the village. There is also one room left in the xhared house which can be used as a twin, minimum for this is three nights, Friday Saturday and Sunday, £ 60 for the room per night.
