Posted March 21, 201014 yr Well what a weekend.Short and sweet, got there campsite was a MESS just a mud bath, got the gazeebo up had a BBQ go to the beer tent come back someones smashed the gazeebo up and tippedthe BBQ all over the seats, food and chiller boxs so they were wrecked!!We all slept in our cars, got up at crack of dawn to go to stand...but due to late booking the "stand" is in the middle of no where in a muddy field ne'er nothing and wasn't even accesable due to mud so everyone ended up in the car park. Show was average, alot of us left at 12 doubt Many of us will be showing again with Evo again I'm afraid or that's what almost all who were there said, me stoney and phil are already at home!!
March 21, 201014 yr Where to begin with this one Well for a start off when we got there drive very slowly onto the big boggy mess that they called a camping field were knightrider and stoneyt were already and had picked a fairly decent spot so we could atleast get off in the morning without getting stuck Couple of hours later and a few beers and something to eat (thankingyou caroline and wayne )we all went for a wonder round not much to see so headed for the arcade and the beer tent an hour or so later we decided to turn back have a few more drinks at the camping area before settling down upon arrival we found that the gazebo had been cut down and slung across behind the cars in a mass heapalso to find that the bbq had been tipped/knocked over and the rest of the food thrown on top which was in a large plastic box along with wayne and carolines camping chairs also burnt to cinders that decided to round the night off then the morning arises me and stoney head ofto find the stand in the cars so we drove all the way round to where we usually go on the hard standing concrete to be greated by a marshall telling us we was round the other side so a slightly peed off me and stoney headed back fighting two lanes of oncoming traffic to be directed into the carpark bit for the sunday day ticket people on the way round stoney gets a phone call off knightrider saying that where we have been put we will not get in as was part of a field near the exit which was just another big boggy mess so stoney rung trig explaining what was going on and that we was all really pissed off at what had gone and was going on which at that point we met up with knightrider and kris again 10mins later trig and afew others turn up and end up been shoved into the carpark so all in all was a rubbish weekend so dont be expecting any car pics or evo stand pics as not alot was taken and me kris stoney and knightrider left about dinner time seriously pissed off

I'd hold fire a bit fore you blame us for a late booked stand. If our members actually met payment deadlines that wouldn't happen
March 21, 201014 yr this is no disrespect to trig or EVO, more a lack of communication from santa pod themselves but Oh.My.God we arrived at the meet point at 8am as planned, there was me and haych, trig, kev and rachy, lee and and a couple other, the be greeted with, what can only be described as the highlight of the day, which was 4 vauxhall astras smashed into each other, 3 of which were 95% write offs we then (finally) arived at the pod around 9:30 and after loosing everyone due to poor organisation on santapods behalf, we all finally met up around 10am in what was supposed to be the 'club stand' it was actually the car park where EVERYONE parked, so not even a club stand! myself and haych left the pod at 11:30 am after watching a couple of cars on the strip, and a few cars drifting i have to say it was one of the worst organised events (on the pods side - not EVO) i have even been to - i dread to think what central day will be like next month Edited March 21, 201014 yr by dutchkev

March 21, 201014 yr i know but my foot kept slipping off the clutch whislt queing in traffic and then having to drive over large rocks becuase they sent us from one side to the other and people wouldnt move over to let us pass
March 21, 201014 yr With regards to the mud, sounds like Central Day 2 years ago. Shocked that they havent sorted this some way. As for the wreaked gazebo and bbq, sounds like this show attracts some right good eggs
