Oxo 9! Fri 8th-Sunday 10th May

Oxo 9 Beetle and Aircooled show.
Yes this is the 9th year of the annual biggest gathering of aircooled VWs in the North at Oxford Island Lurgan (Just off M1 junction10).
Main show on Sunday with camping on Friday and Saturday night. We'd a huge turnout last year of well over 100VWs, with 80+ aircooled and about half of those camping that weekend. The Show is around the camping area so no need to move your dub, and plenty of room as we block book the site for the weekend.
Always well supported by the guys and gals from eircooled so hopefully see you's all there this year again :cooool:

What time would I want to be there on the Sunday? Do I have to enter before hand or just turn up on the day?

 

[RattyOval]

TO be there about 11 or 12 on Sunday. Just turn up

 

[jim1500]

just 4weeks to go!

 

[jim1500]

Less than a week to go folks :cooool:

 

[podsyb]

thinking of making the trip from kilkenny, is there a good few heading up?

 

[RattyOval]

I'm planning on staying on saturday night

 

[podsyb]

yeah, was thinking of being there for sat. night also, probably split the journey, head off friday evening, and stop off somewhere for the night, have a few friends and relatives en-route to stay, probably Dublin, yet to be arranged, have to sort a few things on the bug first, if I can't get it ready, i'll end up bringing the transit and kip in the back, but fingers crossed

 

[jim1500]

Last year there were at least 25-30 vehicles camping over on the Saturday, between tents and campers so you's won't be alone :cooool:

 

[Lappie]

We should be there from Friday evening everyone knows the fish tank van and Scruffy.

 

[podsyb]

Is anybody meeting up on the journey , just wondering, was never there before, and as being new to the club , won't know any faces, maybe some cars!!!

Ok so started sorting out some stuff on the bug for this weekend, just fitted new gear rod bush, some tuning to the engine, have more bits on the way, hopefully they arrive on time, going to fit engine lid stand off's for the long journey, not leaving Kilkenny till sat morning to be there that evening, so want to keep her as cool as!

 

[RattyOval]

Does your engine tend to over heat?

 

[podsyb]

no, hasn't yet, but just thought for the long journey, and the fact it's a 1600 with no vents in the engine lid, it's just a precaution, why? would you not recommend them

 

[mary72]

me and seamus will be heading up on saturday. anyone else going?

 

[RattyOval]

no, hasn't yet, but just thought for the long journey, and the fact it's a 1600 with no vents in the engine lid, it's just a precaution, why? would you not recommend them

Theres no harm in them. but i reckon if your engine is good it'll be fine

 

[podsyb]

hopefully everything else should be , touch wood, i'll be bringing plenty of tools just in case, she drove back fine from birmingham last year, so she's been well tested before!
what time roughly are people planning to be there on satuday, the earlier the better I suppose to get set up

 

[RattyOval]

I'm hoping to be there about 4-6ish a few things to do while on the road
