don't worry about being shy stephen we were all newbies too at some time as for the autojumble vboa were not responsable for its reduced size it was billing that insisted the all the stall holders had to be vat regestered and licenced which killed off all the little traders who used to sell off their parts at pocket money prices i truely hope this problem is resolved by next year as part of the fun of billing was scratching around piles of parts hopping to find bits and pieces which would not cost the earth there was talk of having the vboa meet at another location but than has not been confirmed yet

 

Yes it hard being the new boy . I take that bit back it being VBOAs fault (sorry my bad) It really is a shame that Billing has made this decision. I was looking forward to to scratching around for parts and I was able to get a couple of little bits to keep me happy.

It will be interesting if the VBOA decides to move but like I said Billing seemed very well laid out and the access was really easy we will have to wait and see what happens.

Glad you enjoyed it.  We are all a little odd for "liking," the mk2 cav  so you could have just popped over for some like minded lunacy......next time....and maybe I'll be there as well.....John, when will we have "fixed," dates for next year

I liked that I am after all an odd ball My Mrs says that i'm old before my time so based on that I think i'm in. 

I to hope you can make it to Greg It will be nice to meet you all.

This was my very first time visiting Gt Billing and on first impressions I thought the whole ground was extremity well set out there was some bits we missed though (towards the exit) because it looked like it was just camping grounds Doh!

However I really was expecting better from the Auto jumble this for me was very disappointing! not if you have a Nova though!  the guy selling most of his stuff for a quid just about made up for it but still disappointing, I know this is no ones fault except for VBOA wanting a high liability insurance cover.

I  wished I had met more of you but me being a bit of a shy guy I did not want to intrude on what looked like a private area (Totally my fault and I regret it and take full responsibility) The chaps that I did meet I really enjoyed your company and chatting with you, I would have stayed longer at Billing but the Mrs was getting board :-( at least now I know how it works and to grow a pair and come and say hello to you all as on here you all sound like wonderful people and I would love to talk about Cavs with you all. I am pleased that I met with Andy when I first pulled up as I would have felt a bit funny parking in an area with out at least asking first and letting someone know who I was but again this is just me!

After reading the earlier posts on here I now know to bring some BBQ stuff with me and burn some burgers etc. :-) I promise you all that I will come and say hello next year and I will bring a chair with me next time!

On coming weeks towards VBOA I was nervous about bringing my Cav as I know its not perfect but again after seeing Andy giving his Cav a wash I was pleasantly surprised and realised that is what these shows is all about not to show how good your car looks but getting stuff done whilst your there and getting some club members to help out with there expertise. 

I found the marque on the Manta club a bit over the top in a way i felt like we may have to pay just to look around them lol. I think for us a simple banner over where the bbq is set saying along the lines "MK2Cav.com come and say hello" 

Bottom line is I enjoyed it and to some extent and my amazement the Mrs enjoyed herself to I would have loved it even more if I kicked myself up the arse and came and say hello. You all have some very good looking cars indeed they all have there own personality's.

As for Facebook I can't really comment as I don't do Facebook Flicker for me is a stretch lol I have used forums for as long I have been on the internet my biggest problem is as you can already tell I am no story teller. But I love to read the information, storys and problems on here and I do try and help out to the best of my ability to give back to the comunity when they helped me.

Here are a couple of photos that I took, my Mrs is more into photo's than me so I will get hers her after she gets home from work later on 

This was just after I gave it a quick wash and polish on Saturday morning. 

I will do a more detailed reply later on as I have a couple of thought :-)

Nice! Keep us posted we like to hear how people are getting on and there projects. 

Welcome to the forum looked like s really nice buy, I felt the same way on price when I purchased mine but like people said to me at the time if your happy with the car then price doesn't matter. To be honest I have not looked back I still really enjoy driving mine and I know you will.

steve. 

Wow looks cracking! Good find I will also love to see the outcome. What are your plans?

Sorry I'm a bit late to the party but I would be interested in updates on this I enjoy projects like this, Good buy Sal! Not many around now. 

Cant beliave that the break disks are different sizes though, a professional bodger at its best there. 

Nice one I will look forward to it. 

Wow that's fantastic! Yeah I am under the same opinion this year will be the first time that I goto any shows I am just happy to be showing my car off for others to enjoy.

I think it will be the star of the show! Especially where originality is concerned. 

Looking good! You're drive way looks clean . Unfortunately I don't have a garage to keep mine in I have been starting it every couple of weeks and even in the very cold weather she started straight up. Good strong engines. 

This is what I got off the car tax checker this morning. 

Sorry for the double post I could not get rid of the formatting on my phone. 

I'm in for the fuel filler update. 

Welcome to the club! Very nice looking cars you have there love the sound of a v8 engine! 

I have put myself down as a Maybe really want to go this year! Need to book time off work which I will try and do tomorrow. 

I don't think this will help you but

I sometimes find this when slowing down using the gearbox I find that double de-clutching really helps.

When you come out of gear and go into neutral bring clutch up and then go into your next gear. If it's still hard sometimes when in neutral give the engine a little Rev.

All up and running now chap. Thank you all for your help

Well done good work I bet your well chuffed!!

A very warm welcome to the forum! Very nice looking Ascona you have there!

The wife is off work and I have persuaded her to come along yay I will be bringing my cavalier to show to :angel: only for the one day though due to work commitments :cry: I hope to meet most of you!

Worst thing you can do is take money, you'll end up buying half the autojumble and going home with a car full of treasure.

lol I best just take a tenna then

I think around £10-15 from memory

Thanks mate I will see you there!

Id never been to billing until last year and this is the first time I will have my cav there, I'm really looking forward to it

Excellent I am really looking forward to it. Better take some cash as I think after I have looked round the other cavaliers I will be looking at the auto jumble

Just out of interest do you guys put anything into the windscreen like details of the car at all?

Whatever day you want to come down if your a paid up member just find us, park up ,and show it off ! Oh and then introduce yourself lol

Thank you Matt O-Sri I am a paid up member so I will definitely come and say hello how much is the entry fee?
