Although I will not be there this year, at least that is the plan so far, I hope there will be a good turn out this year. Anyone know if they are going for sure_

Only three weeks to go, anyone ready? I'll be there Monday, but see eaglecarclub.proboards.com/thread/2068/eagle-ss-petrol-tankwhich says, I will probably be at Stoneleigh on the Monday, but without the Eagle ss. as the fuel tank leaks and the pick up inside the tank wont draw fuel, and with the M.O.T. work ( minor electrics age related bad contacts -- somewhere ) i'll be there next year. If I can afford a trailer, I may even contemplate bringing it on a trailer if work for M.O.T. not finished in time. if Gary agrees. ( someone brought an RV on trailer last year )

Eagles are welcome on the stand in any condition. People understand that things take time and there's never enough time before a show. I know I've missed a few though motor issues.

Me being a skin flint ( i don't like spending money ) I assume people driving their kit car in is free admission. So what happens if you arrive with a normal car + trailer, kit car on trailer, maybe stating the kit car broke down a few miles from home ( which it did, but not that day ) do the 2 people have to pay an entrance fee ? ( costs are limited at present, and I have to drive to Tatton Hall in June and July with a 40 year old Lincoln Continental Mk IV, [only done 18000 miles from new and £ 6000 to re-commission ] at 7 to the gallon / 12 on a long run ) see i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m571/him_from/Lincoln/side018_zpsvdpq3r3y.jpg~original( click above link to view full size pic' and click that pic to enlarge: not the one below.)

Organisers say that you have to be driving to get in free and the passenger would have to pay either way We did get a jago in last year but he a-framed it to the road outside and then he pushed it though the entrance. He went back for his truck and frame a little later using his wrist band to get back in to the showground

prices www.nationalkitcarshow.co.uk/html/prices_and_advance_tickets.htmlEagle Outside stand numer 54H, Which is usualy to the left of the pedestrian entrance ( from the carpark number 2, and first right entering exibitors entrance. ) You will be entering the exibitors entrance, NoT the paying public entrance.carpark number 2&5 Price each adult is £ 15, but free for kit car drivers if exibiting on club stand ( passenger has to pay ) Turn right entering the grounds to 54H and drive sllowly, giving way to pedestrians. There should be a tent there, maybe not a sign, but cars can arrive and leave at any time, so stand could be full or empty as a result, and if no one at stand, walk back there later, after depositing your car. Leave your mobile phone number on car, just in case.. map below. ( click to enlarge )

Great have discovered my new carburettor has a pin hole in the float bowl been smelling petrol for weeks replaced all the hoses and fitted a new gasket however today on very close inspection you can see it wetting on the casting grrrrr hopefully I will get a chance to stick my old carb back on so I can get to the show
I was hoping to get a shed load of jobs done this week including the carpets but I may turn up as a nearly finished car which I guess is better than not turning up at all
At least with this cold weather my new heated seats will be handy had them recovered they look fab , and my steaming up windscreen and windows is a thing of the past . This will be the longest journey its been on since the rebuild so fingers crossed
