Saturday night, The time is right To get drunk on cider And buy some, er, tat
I know Ive been spectacularly lapse in being organised and doing a thread, indeed there may already be a theead about the tat auction
Anyway, we'll do another one this year, you know the drill - drink booze of choice, bid wildly on a variety of tat, give all the cash to a good cause or three.
I think this year david wants us to do it on the main track site, not the campsite, but we'll cruise round the site half hour before and update on the day I reckon
Ive got a rake of tat already here, but as usual all donations gratefully recieved, who knows if I'll get the truck tested in the next week, so could do with a backup pickup truck owner to volunteer staging too
As regards charities we're gonna have to sort it out pre auction this year, so bring good suggestions with ya, alhough I have had at least one good suggestion so far
Right, I'm going to go and swear at the front axle on the truck, then go to work
See you all at prescott, er shelsey, er, somewhere...

Bacon would be preferable to strepsils tbh
Ive got some actually very nice books about posh cars like ferraris and that to start us off
Glad to be back too

Looking forwards to buying more chod that I don't need/want. Although the SubWoofer I bought last year makes a handy bowl for keeping my keys in I shall have a look through my shed/lockup/lockup/dining room/everywhere else for stuff to get rid of donate

Kev, our Landrover has lots of LED work lamps so lighting this year won't be an issue

Yup if all things go to plan (and they don't always, but we hope they will), we'll be in the court yard area, with some actual amplification and lights and tat and Kev and booze and charity. Hurrah! We'll be including two items at least, passenger rides in Mick Wilkes' Van and one in Brad O'Nians' 3 rotor Mazda RX7 .. I'll have a dig around and see what else we've got.

People willing to donate items, great, that's brilliant! Bring them along, we will round them all up on the Saturday prior to the auction or bring them along before bidding starts.

It's normally Saturday evening at some point. There will be some noise about it so just keep an ear out.

Yeah, I could do with another dashboard for a car that I have no intention of ever owning.

I've got some novelty things from my period of Nova and 205 ownership I'm sure someone would want in the auction, will bring it up

I've got a few bits I can throw in, including a mad rare old JDM wheel, so rare I'll never have a chance of finding another three to make it a complete set

I'll see what I can find too , sure I've got some surplus tat !
