I did hear a few weeks ago about the cost to get in, it is a bit rich considering that if no-one bought their cars, they wouldn't have a show at all..... Having said that it is local for me and a chance to display my imp super for the first time and give it it's longest run out to date. Also a coupl...

Anyone doing Brooklands on new Years day, weather and hangover permitting?

Dear all, This is a great show at an interesting venue. We tend to use it as an "end of season" party as it is one of the last shows of the year in this region. Last year we had 18 imps on display, we would love to see as many as possible this year and if you want to bring some food etc. along all t...

Well done all,

A great weekend but you will probably have to do it every year now...... I know the hard work that goes into organising these events but it was really enjoyable, well done.

Hi all, Good turnout, eight imps dotted around. Does anyone know who owned the tidy white super with sport engine lid and minilites that turned up, not sure I have seen this car before but it had an "imp50" sticker in the rear window? Sorry, had to shoot early so didn't get to talk to anyone, hope y...

Hi All,

Anyone planning on doing Brooklands on new years day?

Cheers

I like to arrive early.....

Hi,
Who is up for Clandon Park, 10th July 11 p.m. start? If there are enough of us I could ask for a club stand?

Cheers,

Any one up for doing a stand at Clandon Park near Guildford this year, 10th July? Nice informal show, may be able to request a club stand if enough interest. Let me know. Imp028 Imp009 Imp022 Forgot to say, no entry fee but donations welcomed to MacMillan cancer in aid of whom the show is run for. N...

I am planning on going, is it worth booking a club parking space?

"are we there yet
chris d"

Chris,

You are very welcome to attend as long as you don't embarress yourself by bring along that old pile of scrap you drive.......

Yippee, Close enough to bring the trailer tent to... Happy to help over the weekend as required Graham.

but soon to sell

and buy

Only 363 days to go.

Hi Graham, No, not the New Years day event, I enjoy that. What was the Woking show has morphed into a show at Brooklands in June. They have tried to make it "posh" but it has lost its frienliness and I don't like the parking arrangements. It is also considerably smaller than it used to be. So I am n...

Judging by the price of the meat in the butchers, the girls fashion and bike and what looks like the corner of a Montego I would think it is around 1990 give or take a few years.

I was invited to drive a friends car to Clandon Park Classic car show yesterday. Got to take his Mk2 2.0 JPS Capri, no "Minder theme toon" on the stereo but as I had a Mk2 Capri as my first car I was whisked back to my youth, well, mentally anyway. I digress. A good show, lots of cars and in aid of ...

Hi All, A friend of mine has a lovely Mk1 Mexico and a ticket for Cranleigh. Any objection if he joins the Imps for the day if I tell him to bring along some food for cooking? I am working on educating him regarding imps, perhaps surrounding him with them might do the trick.... Cheers, Imp028 Imp025...

Ahh, but would a midget be able to keep up with all those 998's? We wouldn't want to embarress our guest.

Yep, me too please.

Hi Sussex guys,

Are you doing a club stand again at Cranleigh this year? Good event this one, would like to get down there, time permitting.

Hi Mikey, Now if I owned a De-Lorean instead of the imps? Yep, meant to say 1/6/16 to 6/6/16. I want this to fit in with as many people as possible but not be too close to any other major Imp event such as Camping Ecosse, Going Dutch, WWW or of course the National. Also want it to fit in for visitor...

Hi all, So enough interest in this to be a goer, how would Tims suggested dates suit everyone (01/6/16 to 06/6/15)? Looks like we have ten cars or thereabouts without spreading the word too much, sure more would join us. Hi traco, The campsite I went to was on the Military road on the west side of t...

Hi All, Thanks for the feedback, I am sure many more have yet to see this and respond so I will let it run for a while yet. How would you feel about June / July so as not to be too close to WWW, the National or Going Dutch? As Grahame said, loads of events on the IoW so would need to be planned for ...

Hi, just wanted to guage interest but would anyone fancy doing an Isle of wight mini tour, probably in 2016 now? If so, what time of the year would suit, I was thinking June time or September? Presumably during school holidays so the family can come and how long for, a long weekend, just the weekend...

P.S.

Speak to Les Human,

He has a very nice blue one, as it left the factory, engine and all.

CNA476C, ex Jeff Day Singer Chamois. Purchased by Jeff when I was taking him home from my place one day, must have been around 1982/83 or thereabouts before he could even drive if I remember correctly. Stopped at the end of my road to turn right onto the main road. The Chamois stopped at a Zebra cro...

Are you and your dad going Graham?

Hi Colin,

He did ask me for an estimate and I said around seven cars. How precise our parking area size will be in comparison to this number I am not sure?

Cheers,

Hi all,

There seems to be enough interest in this event to book a club stand so I have done so. The chap I spoke to at Brooklands recommends turning up befroe 10. a.m. if you can and we will have our own dedicated parking area.

See you then!

"I would take claims of who makes this oil for Halfords with a pinch of salt"

As I worked for BP who own Castrol Dave, you might want to order in a few sacks of salt for yourself......

Halfords Classic is made by Castrol and is I have been told what was Castol GTX. Always used it and never had any problems with it.

Hi Colin,

I am planning on going, not sure what in yet but one of the Imps will make it down there. Could we get a club stand?

Hi Guys,

Great day, great show and thanks for the hospitality.

Chris

Hi,

I can bring a 3m x 3m pop up gazebo, small folding table and gas cooker with bottle if needed? Do I need to bring bacon / susages / rolls or starve whilst having to endure that lovely smell of everyone else cooking theirs??

Cheers.

They want us in by 9 am so we normally meet at the entrance and hand out tickets.
I can email you one if you think you might be late."

Hi Steve,

Will aim to be there before 9 am to collect a ticket.

Cheers,

Chris

Hi Steve,

Still got space? Can bring Heinz my 998 Chamois for a run. Do I need an entry ticket beforehand? What time would I need to be on site for?

Cheers,

Okay, Time to see if any of these still exist: Sunbeam Stiletto UHK74K, Jeff Days first ever imp restoration, red, sold to someone in Ashford Middlesex (no - not the Cashmores) in the late 80's, early 90's. Imp Super BAN???G, red, solid car, last seen around 1997 on the service roads that run along ...

Must admit I chickened out and didn't fancy myself or Heinz getting soaked. Shame as it heralds the start of the car show year for me and the next one is not until May now and I like Brooklands as a car show venue, its an interesting place.

I will be taking Heinz the Chamois for its first public showing, see you there.

I am going to give a shout out for Mike Dent (moose on this forum). He has now overhauled two 28/36 Webers for me, top job done. Even though they were posted to him and set up remotely off standard specs, they work great and very sensible charges. The last one he did for me, two so called "experts" ...
