Hi Andy,
Sorry, havent been in touch regarding the show.
Things are going really slow at the moment with my car but I'm still hoping that there is a chance that I can make it as I'd love to come along with my Firenza. Hopefully I will have a better idea within the next 2 weeks and let you know. Car wont be perfect but if can get it MOT'd then I'll be there.
Regards,
Phil.

Im in the same situation Phil, but if needs be i will trailer it there, although I really want to drive it .
Might need to do the trailer though to take the club regalia and tent etc, will see nearer the time (talks nicely to wife to drive the volvo estate!!)

Hi Andy,
Trying to get battered on with the car at moment so hopefully all will come together and be down to Louden.
Have many others confirmed their attendance yet?
Where will be the best campsite for the show as I intend to camp?

Hi Phil, numbers are dropping for various reasons, mainly some cars are not ready .
|Still have a possible 6 cars to attend, and I will try and get some more to fill the spaces.
Theres a lot of camp sites in the area, (within 6 - 10 miles), try google for local sites to Galston in Ayrshire, depends what you want, some have the full compliment, bars/food etc etc and some are more basic.
Still waiting for the confirmation letter from the organisers , so will chase it today and let everyone know whats happening.

Hi Andy,
Hopefully there will be a strong presence there.
Not bothered about full facilities as long as a decent toilet/shower.
Any idea which site others are using if camping at all?
The show is just on the sunday isnt it?
Front panel that I bought from you off of e-bay months and months ago is just being fitted to car tonight/tomorrow. Car also needs a re-spray but will be done after the show.
Cheers,
Phil.
