BNMAC stand

[johnthesparky]

Did this in the past, wondering if anyone wants me to do it again?

It’s a stand for people who want to show there car, but don’t know anyone or want to pretend they don’t know anyone

BNMAC stands for Billy No Mates Auto Club, if interested add your name below

Sounds like this might be for me 😆
Unless anyone is aware of paddock or similar parking for single display?
I’ll be camping all weekend and hopefully going up the hill in the morning.

There is retro parking for non-stand-pass-holders but the BNMAC is also a good option

I would love to join you on the BNMAC stand.

I think Paul might not have any mates either🤔

[Paul]

Yes please count me in!

Although I’m not really up for talking to you about it tbh

It’s this sort of selfless attention to detail that really makes or breaks the club stand

I guess that makes you Emperor and Frankenhealey and myself can breath easy

Congratulations on your "promotion" and I look forward to your "long reign" over the members of the BNMAC

I was thinking it was just an administrative role, shuffling paper for the unknown big dogs at the top…. now you’ve stuck your head above the parapet ‘ALL HAIL ACTING EMPEROR BC, AND ACTING DEPUTY EMPEROR FRANKENHEALEY’

I applied for a stand, and put down 10 cars, currently we have 5, wouldn’t be BNMAC if it was full but can take another 5 as long as we promise not to socialise…. There was a photo from the Weekender the other year that showed us stood around chatting, but we’ve all agreed to say it’s a photoshop

Good to see your back in charge Johnthesparky
Under normal circumstance I would be putting my name down again
But whilst we've been in a covid year or two i took the opportunity to work on all my cars at the same time
And none are ready to hit the shows ☹️

So enjoy the day and il be there next year

[jamesd1972]

Hi John,
Very happy you are doing this but if we make it up this year it probably be just on the Sunday so will need to be in a modern thing.
Will make every effort to avoid you all if we make it up though !

You’ll be missed! I mean not by anyone in BNMAC but probably by someone

It’s been a while, so look forward to not speaking to you again

[bstardchild]

Hmmm we need some more BNMAC stand people (lets call them waifs and strays) who don't want to talk to each other

hairymel will be doing the hill in the afternoon (he doesn't know it yet but that's because I'm not talking to him)

danwilko if his emil has 1983 in it he is also going up the hill in the morning but he doesn't know it yet

johnthesparky - who may be going up the hill if I have any drop outs (This is bloody likely and quite normal so lets just say he will be going up the hill in the morning and be done with it)

So stand total is 3 - trouble is that people who go up the hill in the morning are allowed to leave their cars in the paddock garages (as an afternoon static display in the paddock) this mean that BNMAC could be down to 2 cars in the afternoon

If it is that few then my chance of hiding my "not so retro 2005 Merc with a 98 "R" plate behind a few other cars is looking bloody doubtful"

I suggest general board - wanted post

It has an advantage of being closer to the hill action - as opposed to being a bloody long walk from it.

Of course the location can vary - I seem to remember one year I had a bit of a hike to find my LC so I could run it up the hill in the afternoon after I asked "my man" VIP to park it for me

Will probably tow the Fug with the van for ease, so could park the van on the stand if needed, it’s on the cusp of being allowed so could draw attention from the merc …. but then we are only back to 3/4 anyway.

I'd love to put my name down for this, but no idea how we'll my Brands Hatch evening will go on the 19th

I'll say yes, but I'm likely to not make it there possibly

[danwilko]

A friend of mine is also camping so may have a proper vw camper to go on the stand, unless it loses its oil again in which case it’ll be a 70 plate caravella so don’t think it’ll be suitable 😉
