THOR Race Engineering will be there, with our portable 1600BHP chassis dynamometer.
So power runs available on the day.
Check out the billing photos on
http://www.thor-racing.com/news.htm
You can also check out my ugly mug in some of the photos, I'm in the driving seat of course :)

As per Billing (JAE) event all shows and future club bookings are £50 per run. (£60 normally)
Yes more than a standard rolling road but others will testify it's a great piece of kit and no worries about tyre slip plus you get 100 people standing around watching :)
Regards
Pete
ps. I'll have to get John to arrange a Dyno day at THOR. (North Coventry)

How long do the power runs take?
Most of the time taken is attaching the wheels to the absorbers.
The actual runs are over in a matter of minutes. (6 runs in total)
At JAE we were able to get cars turned around every 40mins. (Our aim was 30!)
So this time were are booking every 45mins to allow a bit of breathing space at shows to talk to people about it.
If you want to book a time please choose (nothing booked yet) and email me at peter@thor-racing.com
Regards
Pete
apparently most of the power skylines will be running at this event as well, Sumo, Keith, GT ART etc. So even just as a spectator its going to be great. Keiths skyline is the one that did a 9 sec 1/4 at TOTBii.

Just confirmed my deadline for phoning through numbers is 9.00 3rd October. So any names not posted by 10.00 on Tuesday evening will not be included, and therefore will not be able to park in the designated MKIV Supra Club Area.
Pod staff will post all the stickers to me, on the 3rd. I will pm those on the list who will be expected to send me a stamped address envelope for their sticker. I will post out by return post.
I've been speaking to Lofty from the Ultimate Japanese Car Club and he's found out from Santa Pod that you don't need to buy tickets in advance to get allocated spacing. All you need is the sticker showing in the top right hand corner of the windscreen when you get there. So Terminater, just ask for 30 or something stickers and then send them out to whoever wants them, then if they want to buy the tickets on the day they can.

I want to go, but am skint so have to wait to see if my mate wants to share the petrol costs:D . He wants to go, so when confirmed I'll re post when I've ordered my tickets.
Matt H if your car is ready then I'll have to follow you up there if that's ok, I'm a pod virgin!! :eek: If not, who else is going from the Kent area??
Ben..

27-09-03, 21:09
I'm sure there will be some convoys on the way up there, but you're welcome to follow me. :)
eerr - this probably isn't much of a surprise to you but he ain't the only one that may not be able to find pod ... :( :eek: :innocent: :p

The man with the money has been allowed to go, i.e. his bird said yes!! So I will be booking tickets tomorrow. So you can add me to the list, a nice space next to the track would be good, I don't like to walk..........

Matt, I need to phone you regards my stereo anyways, but a convoy would be good, I'll phone you during the week.
Bobbeh, I love annoying neighbours, as mine suck arse and are old, so if you have coffee (early morning for me on a sunday!!) I'll help wake up your neighbourhood!!
Ben..
Shall we fill in these spec sheets (http://www.megaboost.co.uk/misc/supraspecsheet.doc) as were done at Billing? Those of us doing the dyno on the day could fill in the missing details straight after the run. Just an idea.
How are those who are going to launch down the strip and going for dyno runs going to co-ordinate things?
Do we all meet up and park in our allocated spaces first, then join in the racing queues as and when during the day?
Will we be allowed to come and go from our club area dya reckon Termy?
J.:flame Dev
I'm not going down the strip so all I've got to do is get me car to the dyno and back. Hopefully my space will still be there when I've shown the awesome power of me NA on the dyno ;)
I have just booked my ticket and am really looking forward to this one after missing the Gumball.
This will be my first appearance and am a bit scared to go by myself. Does anyone from the surrounding area want to hold my hand and make it a bit of a mini convoy to the pod?
Forgive me if I have missed anyone but a few local names would be:
John K
Jive
Mawby
Ouzolover
Lust2Luv
Please say yes otherwise I will ahve to turn up looking like a loner otherwise. Smoooth:cool:
I will be staying in oxford that weekend and going to pod from there, but you are welcome to join up with me at the top of the a34 :)
Thanks John. Hopefully I can do that with some of the other guys?
well I should imagine they well all be going a34, m40, a43 so we could all hook up at the top of the a34.

30-09-03, 18:07
I'm going to try and go as well (money permitting):(
But i will also be staying up in london, If i do go.
Sounds good to me. Any more takers? I will definetly meet up with you the John.
If we set a time and place the others can join us if they want and if there travel arrangements are permitting.
Any ideas?
i will be in Northampton for the weekend and will be going from there
Thats a long way from Springfield isn't it?
Come to think of it I don't even know wher Northampton is!
Does this mean you want to meet up as well?
I'm gonna be driving up on the Saturday, probably during the afternoon so will meet all people on the Sunday morning.
Pity really cos a convoy there would have been cool :)
Dunno what I'm doing yet. I drove up to Billing on the Sunday morning which meant getting up very early :( but no traffic at all apart from an M3 to play with :). I definitely "made progress" shall we say...
Should be about 2 hrs 40 travel time from down here Steve (at normal speed). Should shave some time off that though :flame Dev
Might go up the day before though - haven't decided yet...
Terminator
30-09-03, 21:12
As far as I know we will have a space allocated to us and us only. So I can’t see any reason why we should not come and go as we please.
Make sure your name is added to the list by 22.00 Thursday evening, as I will not have BBS access on Friday morning before I make the final phone call.
I will PM those on the list some time on Friday night.
Am i the only person travelling to Pod from the place that I actually live in?:)
Maybe you all lead double lives or are very rich and have 2 houses:eek:
Can somebody update the list to include me please. As previously mentioned I will set a place/time with John and post it here for any others to meet up if you want.
Matt Harwood
01-10-03, 09:20
Just waiting for Bob to post his address so we all know where to meet ;)
Steve, there will be various convoys I'm sure...
i will be staying at point 1 Kettering and taking the green route to Santa Pod point 3

a pub at point 4 or petrol station point 5
the petrol station might be best for most people

I'll be at Sextons in Maidstone on Saturday afternoon aswell if anyone else is gonna be about, need my stereo sorted properly, can't figure the damned graphic EQ out! Should be there around 3:00pm.
Oh yeah, also got my tickets through today, a lovely shade of pink/peach I must say!!

Damn, meant to mention this the other day.
Have downloaded it and filled it out like you suggested, will probably get it laminated or maybe just put it in a clear folder taped to the windscreen.
My 2 tickets to the event turned up in the post today :thumbs:
:cool:
Hi Jive,
We look like we are going up on the Saturday afternoon too.
Which route will you be going by ?
We may try and keep up with you !
Cheers
PS Anybody from Dorset/ Somerset/Wilts going Sat PM ?

Hi Ouzolover
mawby and I will probably be travelling up at around 1.30 - 2pm from hants, not sure what route we're taking as we only started discussing it today due to PM's not being notified :twak:
We'll keep you informed of what's going on and deffo times as it gets closer :)

I'll be taking this route,
M27
M3
A34
M40
A43
M1
A45 (Where the hotel is Mark)
B573
Hardwater Road (on the right)
A509 (South bound for all of 100 yards)
London Road (on the left)
Hinwick Road (on the left as road splits)
Hinwick Road (straight on at sharp left hard corner)
Airfield Road (straight over at cross roads)
There are shorter routes which can be quicker, but they're plauged by hundreds of bloody roundabouts!
Im going to have to drop out of this event now because ive just been informed that i've been put down to work this weekend due to staff shortages :mad:
The buggars could have told me sooner! Used all of my blagging skills and it still couldnt get me out of it. If anything changes nearer the time then ill come along but I dont hold out much hope now.
I hate work

Oh I got some of those BT Freeway radios that millhouse, Green Supra et al were talking about so I'll chuck one in your car and see how they fair.
MRB, your situation with work.....what can I say apart from ARSE!
I hate your work as well :( :(

According to the manual, about 3km or 2 miles[ish], good for convoying apparantly :)
John,
What time shall I meet up with you on the A34. Did you have anywhere specific in mind?
It might just be us as a lot of people seem to be going up on the Saturday.
PM me if you want.
Jive, whats the name of those radios and where can I pick one up? I'd like to get one for this and future events.

millhouse recommended these BT Freeway (http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=1001&productId=63100) available from Argos for £59.50.
You get two handsets in the package which you can then pass onto another car :)
I'll let you know what these ones are like after the 12th as I've not had the opportunity to use them yet.
Anyone wanna go 50/50 on these handsets? :)
doug - where are the pics of yer motor ? :p

hi im the latest anorak, looking forward to santa pod, meeting new faces. i have a tt red supra. A few guys from a newera meet last month introduced this site, just wondering
how do i book tickets for the club area or am i too late.:flame Dev
Hehe, I wondered where you'd got to! :)
I was the guy luring you on here!
Welcome to the boards.
As the 12th is my Birthday :) i think it is a must that i make an appearance so you can all buy me a beer :p
Have i left this to late Mawby, or can i give them a ring tomorrow?
Also i would like to get a run on Thor!! before i start to mod the old thing up.
Terminator
02-10-03, 22:13
OK i'll get 40 stickers so some of the lazy types;) have a few more days. PMs to follow. to those on the list.
Good show guys this should be impressive.:D
Ok cheers Lee,
I will ring Pod in the morning.
I have requested the 15:30 slot on the Thor Dyno, (Awaiting confirmation)
I am still thinking about going up on Sat and stoping for the night, Dunno yet.
OK people, I'm going to chop down this thread a little by removing all the previous lists and other repeated details... just in case you were wondering what was happening.
Is there a favoured B & B / Motel etc that other peeps are staying at ? We are going up Sat PM and have not booked anywhere yet ?
Happy to find our own, but would like to share a car park with some other Soops !
Cheers
G & S
Not as fast as the mods, but......
Foldy in mirrors AND foldy in radio !!!
In case people haven't received their tickets yet...
I ordered mine 11 days ago and it still hasn't arrived, so I just rang up Pod. Apparently there was a fire at the Northampton sorting office, so post is being very delayed. Her advice was, if you still haven't received your ticket the day before the event, then phone up and they will print another and have it waiting at the gate.
HTH
With regards to stickers, aren't we running out of time to get them distributed? (especially with the odd royal mail strike about) Presumably we need these on the day to be allowed to get to our area? :conf:
:looney:
How do we get the stickers?
Phil (Terminator) will PM everyone on the list when he get's them. We then send him a self addressed and stamped envelope for him to send us the sticker in.
It might be worth you us sending you the envelopes now Phil so you can send the stickers out as soon as you get them.

Mark & Sarah (Jive) and Genna and myself are staying here (http://www.marriott.com/dpp/PropertyPage.asp?MarshaCode=ORMNH) on the Saturday night. Not sure where other people are staying.

I'd second that! There are only 6 postal days left. I wouldn't have that much faith in this country's postal service! Unless Phil just wants to post them out and collect some postal money at Pod. I don't think most people would mind paying a quid on Sunday, which should more than cover anyone who doesn't pay (unless of course it rains and no-one turns up!)
:looney:

My mate is going up in his Subaru Legacy, twin turbo E-tune. That all sounds good. (hand built engine apparently). So if anyone see's a white estate (looks a bit like ecto 1) going very fast on the way up, we'll race you!
And i'll see you all there:thumbs:

03-10-03, 16:30
just back and have not kept up to date with this thread - I have tickets and this will be my first so I will follow MatH up - whats this about stickers and post - cant we collect there?
No. Club stickers have to be sent to the club organiser for distribution to the club memebers. Otherwise you'd have everyone trying to make out they belonged to one of the clubs so they could get into the club parking area.
Mid'lifecry'sis
03-10-03, 16:42
so why has no one yet sent them out ???? Is this about 28p per stamp? Branners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Club GODS please can someone sort - !!!:p ;) Who is heading this up anyways?
Where do we send our adresses to?
We had to wait to see how many were needed. Phil should receive them Monday ready to send out for the end of the week.
Terminator
03-10-03, 18:26
Please read the threads:angry:
Calm down Calm down all is under control:p
I was contacted as PLANNED by Pod this morning I have ordered 40 Stickers. I will be PMing all on the list so you can send me a stamped addressed enevelop.
I should get stickers tomorrow.
You should all have your stickers by mid to end of the week.
If anyone misses this I will wait at the gate for you.
Someone better save me a space.
Off on a 400 mile round trip so no PM ing right now, see you later.
Terminator
04-10-03, 11:13
As far as I know this is not a Club sponsored event, I just offered to register the event to enable us to secure the space. I have already spent enough time on this and don’t really wish to spend much more. To send me a addressed envelop is going to cost you a massive 56p. I have not got the time to address and send out all the letters my self.
I would like to avoid hanging around on the gate waiting for some one, or every one waiting for me if I get held up. So sending them out is the preferred option.
Flood control is going to limit me to one PM per minute so this will take some time.
I will start PMing when I get back home later today, but if any one wants to email(address now active) me from the BBS link it would be much quicker for me, so I can just cut and paste your address in to a forward e-mail.
Well if all goes well i should definately be there.
Looking forward to it now, do you have to pre book to run your car on the strip or car you sign up on the day???
Would like to see what time i can get now the weather is a bit cooler.
Terminator
04-10-03, 22:03
The prepaid ticket just gets you access to the club area on the day, runs have to paid for on the day at the gate.
There are a few stickers unaccounted for, so you can still get in the club area if POD will sell you an advanced ticket.
Anyone wanting a sticker, please cut and paste form "quote" and add a number and your club name. I am not trawling through loads of posts looking for names. If you are not on the list you won’t receive details.
Edit
First batch of ten E-mails received and returned thanks guys.
Keep them coming.
SimonM and me (JM1) will be coming along in my car I don't think we can afford the petrol for both! We have got our tickets through GTO UK as I am a member there. Will look for you lot though as Simon wants to pay his membership fee.
Look forward to meeting you, we know a few GTO people but no Supe owners yet.

Its not too late for me to come is it??? If i phone up the pod tomorrow and send you a SAE? What is the quote form btw??
Hi everyone,
Just making some enquiries about this meet, as I've never been to the pod before.
How much do the "normal" tickets cost to get on (not for strip runs or anything)?
Is there any chance of getting a sticker to park with everyone else, on the club stand?
If so is it likelt to be mega busy getting in and out of place to the stand?
How safe is the normal carpark for leaving my car in and just walking around inside to come and see you lot?
Cheers people!
Tried to add my name to the list but couldn't
Am am paid up member and all just can't edit the post.
Could someone, anyone add my name to it, or is it too late already?
Cheers

Also how much is membership to this site and who will i need to see on the day???
Probably think of 1001 questions to ask but thats all for now.

Rob. You need to PM Branners I think and transfer £10 to be a member. I dont think you can get in with us as teh tickets were closed off on the 3rd m8 - but see you there!;)
ok thanx fr that mid. hopefully get to meet a few of you there anyway.
You need to get a SAE off to Phil (Terminater) a.s.a.p., so pm him now and he'll pm you back with his address. You can probably give your £10 to Branners at the meet .
Terminator
06-10-03, 12:54
Everyone on the above list should have received and e-mail or PM from me about getting tickets. If not PM me quickly.
If you are going to get into the MKIV members area you need a sticker from me. No sticker and you take your chances in the general public areas.
The remaining three number and tickets are up for grabs on a first come first served basis. Get your name next to a number and PM me. I will only send details to names on the list.
BTW there are a few full PM boxes out there;)
Looks like a big one look forward to seeing you all.
Phil
Are they giving us a decent sized parking area? We dont really want a repeat of Billing, where we had to try and fit about 100 Mkiv's onto a bit of grass the size of an 18 yard box :(
I plan to be there for when the gates open, so if parking is going to be an issue I'll start kicking up a fuss straight away! :flame Dev

That confirms what I was told this afternoon, we have a space for 40 cars in the space down from the cafe. It looks like we have the biggest club representation too.
Well done all.
Lets hope people dont see that green area as a free for all parking zone :D
Terminator
06-10-03, 20:14
Only cars with stickers will be allow in those areas. It should be marked off for us. As long as we have a few people there early it will not be a problem. If they want this event to be a success they should look after the organisations that have prebooked.
We're parked next to the Micra Sports Club! (http://www.micra.org.uk/) :blink:
Anyway, only thing I don't like about where we're parked is it's bloody miles (well it will seem like it with all the people in the way) from the dyno. :mad:
Now let me get this right so as there's absolutely no confusion. :conf:
Once I've got the sticker from phil (my SAE is in the post by the way) I can then buy a ticket on the gate on the day and then still get into the club area, or do I need to purchase a ticket in advance?
Cheers

Posted today, first class, SAE also with first class so in theory it should turn up either Thursday or Friday.
If it doesn't and also misses Saturday then I'm stuffed as I'll be leaving Soton on the Saturday to travel up with mawby and millhouse :(

Pray for first class service from POD
On Friday I was told stickers were on their way to me by special delivery.
Told yesterday special delivery used and address confirmed. Well nothing so far. Post arrives here about 8.00 so fingers crossed.
Looking at worst case, say stickers don’t arrive today. I am really not that confident in the postal service to leave it until Thursday to post things out. That only gives a window of two days to get them to all of you. This is not good enough.
It looks like at the gate collections.
Any thoughts, about the sticker distribution, not what retribution can be administered parts of my anatomy.
Edit So far I have one envelope from the list:eek:
Post arrived at 07.55 thirteen envlopes from the list.
BUT still nothing from POD:twak: :twak: :twak:
I will be on the phone to them at 09.00
If you post them all out tomorrow (and everyone's used 1st class stamps) then I would expect them to get delivered on Friday, Saturday morning at the latest. If Santa Pod can't get them to you on time then they'll have to hold them at the ticket office along with a list of your forum names and we'll have to collect them at the gate. I don't see why you should be standing there for a couple of hours giving them out. Either that or we take the stickers to the club area and people without them can park in the public area, come and find us to get the sticker and then move their car into the club area as they'll then be able to get past secutiry. Not and ideal solution I know, but it might be the best
Looking at the map, one of the gates does state "pass collection", so I guess it might be possible to have the stickers and a guestlist left there for collection?
:looney:
Sounds like a plan!! :thumbs:
Terminator
07-10-03, 12:42
Special delivery went out yesterday. So they will try to deliver at home while I am at work today:(
I will get of work early, pick up the "you were out" note and collect them from the post office.
I will try to catch the last collection at the main post office tonight, for all the envelopes I have received so far.
I hate to be a pain but I will be leaving home on Friday afternoon as im spending Friday evening to Sunday morning in oxford.
So if there isnt a chance of it getting to me by Fiday other arangments will have to be made.
Phil thanks for all your efforts and work on this, its a shame we are being let down by the post.
Damn postal service!!!! :angry:
Is anyone going up to pod from kent/south east London, or even passing through?? wouldnt mind cruisin up there with a couple of others. :)
Theres an early morning Scoob and JapUKMeets convoy from Kent going round to Mimms, then toddington and then Pod. I think they are hitting Mimms at about 6.45am so I may not be on that one. If you need more details I will hunt them down

Phil, would it be possible for you to post up the forum names of those you've sent SAE's back to? At least that way we know that they're on their way. Mine should have got to you this morning unless the 1st class postal service was shite :(

Having found no delivery note at home, I phoned POD and the staff member I spoke to was not a happy person. I think she must have had her ear bent by a lot of people today, who are all equally anxious about distributing tickets to other members of their respective groups.
If I can believe what I was told our window stickers when out by special delivery yesterday, they should have been with me by lunchtime but now may arrive in the morning.
The only up side is I expect to receive a lot more of your letters in the morning so may be able to get the bulk of our stickers out in the morning in one go.
As for posting names of those who’s sticker have been posted on, that will be difficult as I only know a few of your real names, most I know as BBS names and putting the two together is difficult at the best of times.
Did you see the local (East Anglia) news tonight about the sorting office that got burned down recently.
Should get our stickers in two weeks from now according to the report :)
Sorry just stirring it up :flame Dev
Think leaving the stickers on the gate along with our bbs names is looking a bit of a certainty!! :conf:

07-10-03, 19:56
I think post in the morning will be OK if the *******this arrive. I am just a tad p1ssed off with the whole thing. So much hastle:mad: :twak: :twak: :angry:
Pod set the deadline of the 3rd for numbers saying tickets would go out the same day. If they had everything would be fine.
I'll see what happens in the morning, if they arrive I will post a list of names to whom stickers have been sent on here early morning.
If you dont want you name left on the list I am sure one of the mod can take it off if you pm them.
If they don't show then the gate list sounds like the only option, but I will have to get POD to agree to do it.:rolleyes:
BTW thanks for the little notes of encouragement and thanks, much appreciated :hug:
Anyone collect stamps;):littled:
Well just to say thanks Phil for sorting this out, but at this rate I won't be going anywhere. Sticker or no sticker cos my tickets still have not arrived!!!!:eek:

If your tickets don't arrive in time you can phone POD and they will reprint them and have them ready for collection at the gate.
My tickets haven't arrived yet either!

Acting on mods advice I won't be posting names to protect individuals.
I have all the real names on my laptop so if someone is concerned about ticket delivery, PM me. I would thing anyone who posted there letter on Monday has a reasonable chance of it being with me in the morning.
I really don’t want to get into the situation where people can't get in to our area because there sticker is stuck in a sorting office for the weekend.
What are peoples views about using the post on Thursday?

OK we are on. They are here at last
27 tickets in 26 envelopes out this morning. 12 to go.
Looks like 24 hour post still works judging buy the majority of post marks on the 13 envelopes I got this morning.
Tickets will hit the 09.30 collection today.
I am sure you will be suprised when you get your ticket:eek:
Just for info I am going to make this a Stock Turbo shootout. We have the trophy ready as well as another trophy for the next event so we may as well do it. I know its a bit limiting as you only get 3 runs for £12 or whatever but at least it gives the stock turbo based cars an incentive.
As always the stock turbo shoot outs are sponsored by Ibrar at www.pro-alloys.co.uk, if you have a spare moment pop over to his site for a look around, some nice cars in the gallery.
I will resurect the Stock Turbo shoot out details and post them on a seperate thread for those who havent experienced it before.

John K and SteveW2 I'm gonna be going up the A420, A34, M40, A43, etc from Swindon. Have you arranged to convoy up? Thing is I can't leave Swindon until around 7.50am - aiming to get to Pod around 9. Should hopefully have a couple of other jap cars with me.
:looney:
Lust2luv - I don't have any problems with that, sounds good. Depends on what John K is doing.
If the times all fit in perhaps I should meet with you on the A34?
F**k it, maybe even Swindon if you want?

Will have to check with my brother and a mate first re times. There's a lay-by on the A34 just north of the A420 that might suffice?
No-one else going from Swindon? Paul? Al?
:looney:
Ok, now I know what the weather is doing, I suggest we meet at the little chef at the top of the a34 (about 3 miles short of the m4) at 7.45am.
OK by you guys?
John - Lust2luv can't leave Swindon before 7:50am he said in a previous post. Can you go any later?
Lust2Luv - Can you go any earlier?
If both of you can more slightly on the times we might all be able to meet up.
Let me know.
I'm afraid I might have to miss out then (or catch you up! :sly: ), since I can't leave Swindon until 7.45*. Figure I won't get there until 8.15 or so (depending on what other cars I have with me). :(
* babystitter dependent, not flexible I'm afraid.
:looney:
I could leave a little later, ill have to confer ;)
Main reason I want to get there early is to get some runs in before it gets crowded.
I'm hoping we'll get there by 9ish. Sign-up for runs starts at 9.30 (prepare for a long queue) and runs start at 10, unless there's any overnight moisture they still haven't cleared. Might be a long queue to get in though (especially if the ticketing cock-up means everyone will be collecting theirs on the gate).
:looney:
Mawby / Jive, are you still going up on Saturday afternoon ?
If so, we would like to tag on to your tails on the way up.
We could meet you on the A34 Newbury near the J13 of the M4.
Think there may be a services just off the A34 south of the junction.
Would be good to convoy (if you don't mind us oldies) and we could play with our new two-ways !
Were staying east Northamptonish so would split up there and see you Sunday for some fun and new exhaust exploration.
Cheers

i hope to go with them
but i might be working untill 1 so any time after 2 would be best :)
I've got some serious car cleaning to do so I wasn't intending to leave before 1 anyway. 2 o'clock should be fine... even better if we can be on the M3 around 2 as I want to make the most of the hotels facilities when we get there.
do you want to meet at 2 then at winnall shell
me and jive meet there last night
millhouse, I was thinking the same thing earlier this evening [or last night as it's now 00.12] if we all met there at say 2.00pm that would be great.
I too will have some serious cleaning to do in the morning, will hopefully start about 9.30, haircut at 11.00, pack bags and pickup other half and get there for 2.00 = piece of cake :)

John K, Lust2Luv - Have we got any plans yet?
Any fixed times.
My direct work number is 01202 662720 if you need to discuss and sort things out.
I am happy to meet where ever though.:)
I will confirm a time with you tomorrow night or sat morning but best place i thing would be the little chef at top of a34, probably at the earliest time lust2luv can get there so 8.15 - 30ish?
Earlier the better for me.
Yep, sounds good to me.
I will PM you and lust today/tomorrow with my contact details.
Are there any spare tickets for this that somebody already has? I can't imagine being able to call them up and get stuff delivered in time..

If there are loads of copies flying about we may find our site full of Micras. They should have at least been numbered, So that they could not be so easily copied and used by others as they would have to know the name of the person supplying stickers if challenged by POD.
I sent out one more sticker with tonight’s post. The post master would only grantee Saturday for tonight’s post. The only tomorrow would be 24 hour at £4.00 but I would have to know who and that will be very difficult with all the envelops having real not BBS names.
I don’t want to take responsibility for people not getting their sticker until Monday so will not post any more unless instructed.
I think the remaining ten should be picked up on route or at POD.

Over to you guys what do you want to do.? There's a space on the sticker for reg number, so why not get the ten remaining people to PM you thre reg number and then leave the stickers at the gate if POD will agree to hand them out? Of course, relies on POD being willing to co-operate.
Or, if Pete is willing to help out, we could leave the stickers with him as people have to drive past his dyno before they reach the secure area where the stickers will be required. Maybe he'd be kind enough to look after the last ten until people come to collect them?

I can meet with you somewhere local and we could convoy (well both of us) to the meeting point on the A34 if you like
I'm traveling up on sunday but i'm not leaving bournemouth until about 7ish so should easily be there by 10.30 -11ish. My mates driving so if your going to leave a bit later i'm sure i could convince him to meet up.
If your going to be at the top of the A34 by 8.15 your going to have to get up early!:eek:
Edit: I'm about to go to the top of the A34 now so i'll let you know how long it takes.

This might be a silly sugestion but,
Surely when anyone gets to pod they can walk to the mkiv bit, pick up a sticker walk back to the car park put sticker in window, and then............ drive to the club bit.

yep very silly - that involves walking, parking and fcuking about...lol
;)
Got me sticker yesterday - thanks Phil! :thumbs:
Still no ticket however, but just got a phone call from Pod saying they note they haven't sent me my ticket! Well that would explain why I haven't received it I answered! Got to pick it up on the gate.
Steve / John, 8.15 at the Little Chef sounds doable if my brother can keep up in his Lude. :) Hope the others from down Dorset way can make it.
Oh and got my new personalised number plates from Fancyplates too! :D (early xmas present from g/f!)

That's why your supposed to put your reg on it. However, I agree it would make much more sense for the sticker to have stuck to the inside of the glass, especially as these are just inkjet printed and will run with the slightest hint of rain or the first sticky finger poked up against it. :mad:
I'm intending to stick mine to the sun visor somehow so it shows through the glass. I'm definitely not leaving it on the outside.

Nope neither am I, just borrowed some car park stickers from work so hopefully the sticker from Pod will cover the pass and then just stick on the inside. I've got 4 of the stickers and will bring along - if they work I'll dish them out :)
I just got a call from the POD.....:mad: Just found my tickets laying in a folder!!! Won't post so I've got to pick them up at the gate aswell...... Muppets.
:stupid:
Looking at the plan, looks like theres a special booth for us to pass through, anybody know if they operate a twin entry lane in to Pod? When we went there in January we all queued up and some people shot up the outside and then cut in for the second booth...be good if we can by pass the peasants in the queue..
JB
I think there's 6 lanes now. The one one the far right is always for outcomming traffic, but then there's 5 others to chose from if they are manned. The one on the far left doesn't look like one but it is, you basically have to drive on the grass to get to it.

SOMEONE WANT TO EXPLAINE - what MatH and I can do without the stickers? Post may have gone adrift to kent?

I was told I needed to go to the rightmost booth to collect my ticket on the way in.

:looney: Looking at the leafet your correct. Maybe they're trying to speed things up as normally you have to park up and go to the building on the very far right to get your pre-paid ticket which caused laods of confussion and congestion.
John K/Lust2Luv - Is 8.15 and acceptable time to you both then, its ok with me.
Are you gonna PM me with mobile numbers to minimise any problems on the day?
Do you need me to PM you with my mobile number to organise tomorrow if needs be?
Meeting at 8:15 where? The Little Chef at the end of the A34?
Superchargedtt - Do you wnat to meet on the M27/M3 somewhere? PM me with numbers etc.
I leave work at 4:00pm today, let me know.
If not my mobile number is 07956 592800
Home (mobile doesn't work there) 01202 896911:)
8.15 should be fine for me. If I'm not going to make it for any reason, I'll phone you. I hope there's only one Little Chef northbounds on that section of the A34? It's by a Shell station isn't it?
:looney:
To race down the strip will we need to bring our MOT certificate?

Actually, thinking about it, she may have said "right building" and I was thinking booth because I'd seen that on the map. Would surprise me if Pod had in fact done something to improve effeciency!

I'm not running down the strip, but if memory serves me correctly - I think you need your driving licence [valid] only to rip-the-strip :cool:

Stickers may be in the post, I posted the last one out yesterday afternoon just before the post was collected. That sticker should arrive on Saturday morning.
I have Justin’s sticker and eight to give out some how and two spare. All the rest, 28 were posted Tuesday morning and Wednesday morning. I can only match up a few BBS names with real names so can’t help when people post saying that they have not got stickers.
Please send me a PM “ No ********sticker” ---- (insert as appropriate) if you are concerned , giving your real name so I can see if you are on my list of stickers posted. We need to find out if any are not accounted for and stuck behind a desk in sorting office or chewing gummed to my local letter box .
Giving me your reg number may be a good idea to aid distribution on Sunday.
If you can send me a PM “ Yippee Got It” with your real name, if you have got your sticker that would help as well.
Also got an envelope to late to deal with, from Flintshire with a mobile phone number that does not work, and saying a BBS member suggested "Rob" contact me for a sticker for an event at POD on the 25 October. No can do. You can have one of the spare oines for the 12th but it wont do you much good.:p
I've never been before to pod, but was told the queueing situation can be a total nightmare!
Do we just queue with everyone else (even though they're going to normal carpark) or do we take a different route in or something? Iknow this was kind of discussed above, but couldn't get my head round what people were saying/describing
Anyone help me out at all?
Also....everyone getting there early or what?
Phil,
I got my sticker mate cheers,,,
Plus POD sent my tickets out very pronto!!
Anybody coming from the Orpington/ Bromley area???
Alan
:p :p

Iknow this was kind of discussed above, but couldn't get my head round what people were saying/describing Basically getting into and parking at POD isn't a big problem. There may be queues but they are always moving at a reasonable rate. The problem comes with queueing to actually register yourself to do runs down the strip. Now that's where it's a slow painful process and lots of hanging around. :confused:

I will bring a few bottles of Neilsen's and some of my super polishing cloths, just in case any of you need to reduce the drag caused by a dirty car:D
Sorry Phil, been in London since Wednesday. Can I pick up me sticker Saturday? Let me know what time's best for you if at all.
Cheers mate.

Oi! I've won the "dirtiest Supra of meet" 4/4 meets I've been to, that's my crown dammit!! :D
-p
So.. uuh.. I don't.. like have a sticker.. or a ticket..
So umm.. do I just turn up and try and get in? I'm guessing I won't be able to park with the rest of you in the display area?
What's the score if you're as organised as me on the day? Anybody know?
.. more's the point, where the hell am I going? I'd best look this up..

Stop bragging John, your cars never been as bad as Chris R's at Boxhill last time :p
And Pulse.. you can pay for a ticket when you get at the gate, get in, park up in the public area.. walk over to the club, find Termy (Phil) get your sticker, go back to car, put it on and drive around to the club area! ;)
Directions for you... coming from where? Get off M1 and head for Bozeat on the A509, it should be sign posted from there on, if not, follow all the Jap cars you'll no doubt see :D (Heading for Podington)
MAP (http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=485000&y=255000&z=5&sv=485000,255000&st=4&ar=N&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf)
Cheers Bobbeh :)
Will see you tomorrow hopefully.. should get some sleep, it's gonna be an early one.
