Well here's a worrying statistic. I just decided to up our quota officially to 20. the form confirms we are now requesting space for 20, but it also tells me we only have four booked... Club Id : XXXX Club Name : BNMAC Expected Size : 20 Current Size : 4 Current Cars 1. Scimitar : FKV100L 2. 86 Volkswagen - Caddy Van 3. Roverp5b Toyota - Hi ace 4. Track Vauxhall / Mercedes /BMW - Lotus Carlton / SLK / 740i Where are the others? Come on you lot.... Pull yer fingers out! =) gewy will be a bit tardy as he doesn't visit the forum as often as he would like but tagging him means when he does log in he prioritises reading based on notifications Where did the "track" bit come from on my notes - I used a field to let HoTWire know I was event crew?

Frankenhealey ... "What you really need is to look on the website : www.retroridesweekender.com ... Under the clubs bit it is all explained" Okay Sparkers, I've just sent you all the club ref number via PM. Let me know if you haven't got it. All you do is go to the page Hotwire linked above, scroll down to this bit... Then put the BNMAC club reference number in, and your ticket order confirmation reference number, and fill in your vehicle details. Poor Frankenhealey. You have to do one per car.

Oh, right, I see, I see. Okay, not a problem, because....Well, as emporer of the club, and main liaison with the organising committee at Retrorides, I think I am right in saying that what happens now, in this sort of situation, is, that, I .... have absolutely... no idea... at all ... what to say or do about any of this. Literally... No idea. At all. Absolutely no idea.
I'm completely blank.
I....
It's...
Okay look, I cant keep this up anymore...I'm not really an emporer. It was just a stupid thing I said. It got out of hand. I got carried away.
I'm very sorry.

If you did each entry will have been given a unique ID eg afhflflefg1 Replace the XXXXXXXX below with your unique ID for each entry and the YYYY@YYYYY.YYY with your email address you used to book up and you should be able to copy the link into a new window and it'll give you access to be able to edit all details as well as add the club code https://retroridesevents.com/EditCar/XXXXXXXXXX/YYYY@XYYYYY.YYY

You can go the alternative way if you haven't got the original confirmation email but do know your car code and email address

We'll, it looks like my old banger is going to be treated to a new coat of paint and some body work for RRGoodwood. So I probably will want to stick in on the display just to feel like I got my money's worth from the work done. PS: AndyF, there's plenty of room so I'm assuming you are a firm IN now if you want to be... No longer on a reserve list.

Referring back to Mr H. Wire's recent post... You can have as much room as you need ... Plan is to send club passes with tickets. So as long as people do car entry forms then it will all work nicely I think the crucial thing here is that everyone who definitely intends to be on the BNMAC stand needs to have registered their car with the BNMAC ref number before the tickets get sent. Don't want to put everyone under pressure, but, the PRESSURE'S ON. Optimus prime... Naturally we wouldn't welcome you into the club, so... You know... Think it over. I don't want to bloat numbers to the extent that our exclusive club take up 90% of the show space, but Mr Wire says we can have as much space as we like, so I'm of the opinion we might stretch to one or two late applicants (who, naturally, will be rejected).

Last night was pretty epic having come off a cocktail of antibiotics that meant that alcohol could not be consumed. Anyhoo those dumbasses at Hall & Woodhouse have stopped making their Golden Glory ale and SWMBO got me the last 14 bottles for Valentines and there are far fewer left now. So I got to thinking due to that special alcoholic haze that engenders my absolute bestest ideas that Goodwood always have something happening at lunchtime and as THE BEST CLUB IN THE WORLD we should lead the way with a Top Gear/Grand Tour spectacular This led me back to something Dangerous said during the Goddess build and these pictures So make the bed back panel removable, crank up the bed angle and try to find a Dooks of Hazzard River Jump Calculator. Nope can't find one so haul out old mechanics books and find slide rule. Much hilarity ensues as I try to remember how to use slide rule. Bob the Dog helped out with calculations and while admitting my work was a bit ruff that the end result was not arf bad. So without further ado may I present the BNMAC Lunchtime Show at the Retro Rides Weekender Bob the Dog helped with the lettering

Brilliant Frankenhealey although I fear mid jump the Acty would disintegrate and i would be left floundering with arms and legs flapping like something out of a red bull birdman competition!

Brilliant Bob, brilliant. You too Frankenhealey. Just brilliant. Could we lay out like this and have a helmet and race suit in the Actyminty? And then not talk about it so nobody knows if we're actually that crazy? Maybe Mr Minty could ocassionally get in and rev up as we all consult your blue print above. Oh and this... Brilliant Frankenhealey although I fear mid jump the Acty would disintegrate and i would be left floundering with arms and legs flapping like something out of a red bull birdman competition! ... That would be a perfect crescendo.

gewy and I have done some stupid things over the years but he's gonna say no way to that - I'll be standing behind the Acty at the start point - just a heads up We can all give up a sigh of relief as Bob the Dog has confirmed there was a slip-up on the trajectory by near an order of magnitude. The recalculated sequence of events with our original plan would be; Acty hits ramps at 63mph+, ramps fold up, Acty folds up, fr€$h&m1nt¥ gets a semi-viking funeral, Darkspeed and gewy are catapulted out of back of Acty as duct tape gives way, Goddess lurches forward due to energy transfer and crushes several BNMAC rotboxes, @quatermass and bstardchild are hit by the flying Darkspeed and gewy and the rotboxes start to burn. Everything explodes in a fiery conflagration to much applause. Mr. Hotwire asks if we can do it all again next year So with the cunning plan shot to pieces I spent part of the day arranging access steps to the BNMAC VIP Lounge Also my non-mate Adrian says if we find ourselves unexpectedly short of vehicles he's willing to bring the only existing Gulf Toyota but he'd need a couple of days notice to get it over from Kent

That Gulf forklift is an absolute show stopper.
Can we, the BNMAC, with all of our tremendous power and influence, pulls some strings to get that on the BNMAC stand?
I'm wondering... How long would it take the bloke, who isn't a friend of yours, to drive it there. If we all chucked in £2 each we could offer him nearly £15 as a cash incentive.
That's cold hard cash, not on the books.
