Thread: CarFest South - August 25-26

  1. #1

    Default CarFest South - August 25-26

    I have been contacted by the organisers to see if we are interested in having 7 cars at the Event being held at Laverstoke Farm Hampshire - Only 7 cars ! the catch is that they would ask us for £400 total for 14 weekend tickets (that is £29 per person! - normal tickets were £75) to cover their organisation.

    I am interested in going to this event but are there 6 others out there who will join me ? Might mean camping as well over night as they want the cars left in situ.

    Why 7 cars ? well this is a Chris Evans thing "The Magnificent Seven"

    PLEASE let me know as soon as possible if this is of interest I will try and get everything sorted by the End of this week - If you go to the event website and try and register a club or individual - you can't it is now closed so we havea real opportunity.

    Stick me down, I'm pretty sure I can make it.

    Has camping been allocated for us as the site indicates that it has sold out.

    I'd initial guess was either the Fenns are out to raise profile or it will the HUK Imola .... but maybe it could be Phil in the NA2 - R?

    I'll let you know as I'm there on the Sunday ...

    The time has come to draw a line under this event opportunity - as I can't get 7 cars to the event and I am not willing to commit £400 of my own money just in case.

    Should we put this on the calender for 2013 ? Both North and South ?

    Regards

    Hi Sorepaws, I did not respond to your thread before as I was on holiday in South of France over this weekend and was unable to make it.....until I realised we came back on the 8th instead of the 9th as I thought. Back home on Staurday at 3.00pm and on e-bay for tickets. managed to find 2 spare tickets and great ...was able to get there. Great day , nice weather, well laid out, and highly recommended . Chris Evans was out and about the event most of the day and nearly ran me over in his golf buggy. Would attend next year . With regard to leaving cars on stands . I am sure you would be able to leave after 6.00 pm Saturday and go back early on Sunday if you did not want to camp. I spoke to a couple of car stands and they had done exactly that.
