Heading up to this in the Gypsy

Does that mean you would have some space to bring up some bits and pieces people bought of me in the past weeks?????

Heading up to this in the Gypsy, the kind folk at vw heritage provided me with 2 sets of tickets for the Saturday & Sunday, I was planning on a-framing the beetle as well but I am just wondering if it would be possible to stay on the show grounds for the Saturday night as I don't fancy having to hook everything back up and move out of there for the evening and go through it all again the following day. I haven't registered the beetle for the indoor arena so I was planning on having both the beetle and bus side by side at the show. If it's not possible to stay there I'm planning on staying at the Jordanstown Loughshore Caravan Park, only a few miles away from the hall. Could anyone confirm if you are allowed stay on the show grounds.
Cheers.

Hi Keith

I got alerted to this question by Andy from VW Heritage, congratulations on your win.

Unfortunately we do not have camping availability and it is not permitted to stay in the grounds overnight. I can however put the beetle into the aircooled hall for you overnight or possibly for the whole show once we see how much space we have left in the indoor hall. Hope this helps

Cheers

John

Best asking on the GTI forum Keith. I can vouch for the Loughshore campsite as I work in council that looks after it. V Secure site. Pre book is essential as its popular. Hope you get sorted.

Thanks Jonny, campsite looks great so I think that's were I'll head for.

Hi John,

Your a legend, that would be greatly appreciated. I 'll bring the beetle along with me now. Really looking forward to the show.
I'll pm you later on for your contact details if that's ok, so I can touch base with you on Saturday.
Thanks again.

Cheers,
Keith

What you got Johan. Should have plenty of space for you. I'll call into you this afternoon for a chat, are you at home.

 

[oldspeedvws]

I am home from 17:45ish onwards...

Ah, the ole Loughshore at Jordanstown. A great site, immaculate and clean, with great views over the lough, café, walks, etc. Used to stay there lots when we lived that way. If you want a good breakfast before the show or meal the night before- try Sozo's in Jordanstown village - 2 minutes walk away. Or take the train into the city - bout 10 minutes from Jordanstown halt. Enjoy

Thanks a lot for the info Pete, I'll look into Sozo's, heard good things about it, thanks again.

Looking forward to seeing the aircooled display at the show. For me the aircooled hall is where it's at. I'm still a watercooled owner but intend to rectify that at some stage

Not long to go folks, don't forget, a certain car will be making its debut.

After a very long winter, the car has had a complete nut and bolt re vamp, gone is the tired red paint, in with the new scheme, some have seen the odd snap shots, but not the whole picture, really exciting to see Daves new car out and a bunch of us racers supporting gtini for their first drag event (stay tuned for that one) i'll be heading down in the oval after a winter rebuild, although the clutch is buggered so I'm hoping it will make the journey to Belfast ok, pop in and see us and safe travels to all that are coming

 

[kvinyl]

Best of luck to all attending, I'm out unfortunately, work gets in the way again...gahhh...can't wait to catch a glimpse of all the racers lined up together...

 

[CulmoreDubClub]

Ah Padriag, I thought your magic Ghia was going to be on show....

Looking forward to it folks, see you all at the show....

 

[lukemac]

I'm heading up tomorrow arvo around 4 if anyone needs anything taken up. If not see ya at the bar!!

 

[keithincork]

Just in the door, bolloxed, up at 6 on the road for 7.30, hit Lusk service station around 11, Belfast about 2 ish, depending how bloody windy it is. Zzzzz

 

[keithincork]

I could be in trouble here, up since 6, a frame on the beetle, went to start up the gypsy and you guessed it, won't start, turning over not firing, bolloxed, stripped out the interior to get to the engine, can't see anything amiss, checked cables etc, had it running on Thursday no issues, time for a cup of tea and a rethink, even went and got fresh petrol,

 

[duts]

Cock where abouts are ya? Or have ya left yet?

 

[RattyOval]

Back to basics dude.
Are you getting a spark at the plugs?

Try a drop of fuel down each carb

 

[keithincork]

Sorted thanks lads, I'd go into it in more detail, but it was very technical, ����

Haven't a clue what was wrong with it lol
But she's running now.

 

[p0x]

Give us the details - might just save someone similar hassle.
You're with friends here. We won't judge...
