MadaboutKitcars

Although the Stoneleigh show isn't until May 4th and 5th I wondered how many Tribute owners were planning on going and how we could arrange to have a specific area for us to display our cars in - other marques had their own areas at the last show.

I'm very hopeful of being on the road by this date, albeit unpainted, and it would be good to meet all those I've been chatting with on here for the last year or so.

I know the Shadow is going. He has lost his internet access at the moment so hasn't been on here but I met him at Chris's the other day and he is definitely going.
I am not sure as to if I will be there yet.

I plan to be there as an official representative of the Tribute Automotive Owners Club.

In fact it will probably be the first official meeting for the club. I better get on and organise something quick!

[edit] Just downloaded the club booking form and looks like I am too late : PLEASE COMPLETE AND RETURN THIS FORM BY 3rd JANUARY 2014 TO CONFIRM YOUR CLUB STAND

Will try anyway


[EDIT AGAIN]
There will be a Tribute Automotive Owners Club stand! Details will be emailed to all club members. Don't forget it is free to join the TAOC!

I will be there , in my MX250 c

Hopefully you got the TAOC email

i got the email, just waiting on a reply from work if il b off or not as i may be stuck in Germany. would love to go though.

I can only go on the Sunday . Will I still be able to park inside with the other tributes ?

I would be really happy to make a space on our stand in the main show hall if you can make it there before 9am on the Sunday.

And that also applies to someone with a finished MX250 hardtop too. Anyone?

Chris, I will do my very best to be there before 0900 hrs ( sorry been around military guys too much recently ) . It will even have a wash and brush up for he day, and maybe even a new set of wheels

How about Monday instead of Sunday ?

Confirmed our position of 49B which is just by the Westfield pitch.

There is room for up to 20 cars so hurry up and complete your builds.

All TAOC members will get full details when I get them, so far I have only had the details over the phone. There will be passes for non-kit cars apparently but I don't how many, probably 1 or 2.

Good work Nick, it will be great to see some owners again with finished and unfinished cars alike.

I have just confirmed the Tribute Automotive indoor stand postion, Hall 1 Stand 1 to 5, the same location as last year.

Jason (DrumMajor) has confirmed he will be putting his MX250C on the stand, and there will be various other cars in various states of finish, but what I need now is a finished MX250 hardtop to complete the line up.

I need to get a move on to finish mine then.

I'll be attending stoneleigh (and the associated TAOC meet) and am the proud owner of an MX250 hardtop that will be finished by the end of the week! you're welcome to use mine on the stand

Thank you Martyn, looking at your pictures I would be more than happy to have your car on the stand

Hotel booked, new wheels bought ,mot passed, can't wait

Does anyone know if there will there be any a352's there for me to take a look at/chat about? cheers

There will definitely be MX250s and a Z300s. The re are no A352 club members at present and I think Patoune has the only examples on the road and he is over in France

I'd love to commit to mine being on the road but somehow I don't think it will be :-( I shall have to come down in the Prius just for a look around.

We won't be taking an A352 to Stoneleigh this year, but I am confident that Scottie will be there with his A352. Fingers crossed. Scottie?

Just what I need right now! MORE PRESSURE!!

I will do my best, but can't rush it. :-)

Really don't want to pressure you, please don't rush on my account

Getting mine painted in the next few weeks.

Black, definitely black or barchatta rosso

or black

Okay Guys - I have just had the confirmation details through for the show.

The show is open to the public on Sunday and Monday.

We have club stand 49B.

We have access to this from 10am on Saturday and I have two passes for cars (kit or non-kit) for Saturday to help set up the stand.

If anyone is planning on camping on the Saturday night (I will be) there is live music and a bar.

We have to clear off by 10pm Monday night.

I need to have a think about what we do with the stand we have been given - Any ideas welcome.

Chris - Anything you want from us?

Me and my car will be there from about midday Saturday until early evening Monday.

I have just ripped this off directly from the Westfield website showing what they plan for the weekend. They have done it before so probably have some idea of what they are doing so I plan to copy them.

Exterior Club Stand
The following activities will take place on the exterior club stand.

Member Autojumble. - Bring stuff you want to sell / swap
Membership services. - I will keep the spreadsheet up to date
Our all new merchandise. - We don't have anything planned yet but there have been some suggestions made. I propose to wait until after the first AGM - see below
Best in show competition (Judged by who ever turns up in a blind ballot) with 1st , 2nd and 3rd prizes. If you park on the club stand in a Tribute you’re included. Prizes may well just be a certificate and what ever I can blag from the main hall.
Members drop off area (helmets, coats and bags that you don’t want to carry around all day) - stuck in the boot of a car most likely
Some seats.

Manning the exterior stand.

No-one wants to be stuck on the stand all weekend so we will try to take it in turns but no promises. The more volunteers the less we’ll all have to do. If people can bring A4 fact sheets about their cars we can hand them out to interested people.

AGM - 2pm Sunday on the club stand
Agenda
Agree we like the idea of an Owners Club
Identify anyone who wants to take on any responsibility
Decide is we should have membership fees and if so, what the fees should be used for
Choose if there is any TAOC memorabilia we want to produce and choose who will organise that
Decide what the next event will be and when
