Hi im new on here so please be patient with me
I was just wondering if any of you fancied showing your cars in my small car show this Sunday that’s the 3rd june
Its at a small fundraiser event in lowton near warrington
It starts at 12 noon and would be on for a few hours
It will be a good place to meet other sports car owners and have a chat
Any way if you fancy showing off your car please email me on Turbo_Ian@hotmail.com
ian
Your car show?
You'll probably need to supply more details than that to get anyone from here attending mate.
Where specifically?

If you check out this link sorry for the spelling mistake but I carnt change it now
It will tell you a little more about it
http://bbs.scoobynet.com/northern-21/606939-show-yor-car-raise-money.html
some of the cars are crap that’s why iv asked on here for some real sports cars
Why have you been banned from there?
TURBOTRONICS
01-06-07, 13:55
Because they are having problems with the infraction thing every one is reporting every for daft thing and getting band for a week it’s a bunch of fool that thinks its funny

It starts at 12 noon but if we can get the cars in before then say 11:30 to 11:45 so we can get the barriers up round the cars. There was meant to be a donation request for entering your car but it was putting people off so iv dropped that and just say pay the gate fee of a pound for adults and 50p for kids

The post code for Lowton civic hall is wa3 2ah in case you want to multymap it
From the m6 take junction 23 towards Manchester on the a580
You will pass a big island at golborne continue over the island then through 2 sets of lights. At the 3rd set of lights turn left onto Newton road which is the a572 towards Leigh after about 1 mile you should come to a set of lights with FX leisure on the right
Turn left at these lights and follow the road to the bottom at the end of the road is Lowton civic hall
If these directions don’t make any sense if you pm me and I will give you my phone number so you can contact me
when arriving at the event if you tell the girl on the gate that your in ians car show she will be able to tell you where to go but I doubt you will get lost there is only one road to it
You will have to donate £1 per adult and 50p per child
Im sorry we have to charge but it’s for charity you see
This link should take you to a map

Yeah thats the one, with the thatched roof. Got a decent sized car park but if its a busy night i dont know 100% whether there would be enough room. Might be worth a scouting trip to sample the ale and carpark i think. Not taken you out in mine yet anyway.
Does it do that Mexican Steak??!! if so i'll be there! :)

Dont know mate, its a different chain. tbh theres no guarantee that the Carnley will either though because it was a special.
Should we just stick to the Charnley to make it easier??

I may have to give this a miss gents!! The missus was up all night with Joel and I don't want to abandon my responsibilities two nights on the trot after playing footie last night!
Also managed to give myself concussion and damage my back during the match so getting in and out of the Supe may be an issue!!
I'll let you know later this afternoon!!;)
