Had every intention of doing the northern car shows with the ABS and also Billing this year,however although I've managed to do the first show on May day now not sure how things will go as/when Maureen comes home from hospital.

The caravan will be fine Nige but you may struggle to get a hook-up this late in the day. You can normally pitch on the outer ring of the ABS area but there are no hook-ups in there. I've just run on battery for the weekend when I've taken the van in the past. :y
-
It will be on the ABS field, caravan, tent or kip in your motor, whatever takes your fancy

Do you have the local kids nicking anything not nailed down?
the landrover show the week after is blighted by them.
-
We not had any problems of that type before but have had a pikey prob ten years ago with them racing there lorries around while pissed. Been ok since that incident
Cars on our field or any show just have to be road legal and clean. Doesn't matter if they have rusty bits, just no stalignites of mud hanging off the bottom

Thanks for that ... no worries regarding hook-ups .. I don't use them except for the main holiday in France ... just done 6 nights away on the battery without any problems - as the sun shone for 3 of them and topped the batteries back up ... :) ... just need to convince Mrs E now .... :)

Just beware of your gas installs, when they explode it can make a very big mess.

In all seriousness, for anyone that hasn't been, it's a massive do and a lot of organising goes in to it. :y You can reminisce at the old cars or stare in admiration at the time, effort and money some people have spent modifying their cars. :y
It's a good day out/weekend if the weathers kind and the ABS guys are a friendly bunch. :y

2 years too late for that!! Supposedly the improvements will mean it won't happen again????!!!!??? :D
Be careful as fairly sure one of the 'rules' at Billing is no sleeping over night in a car.
Not sure if they actually enforce it, but would be careful just in case this year they decide to!!

Are any of the "OOF Widows" planning on going ??? ... Mrs E says she'll attend IF some of the ladies are going .. guess she doesn't want to spend all the time with a bunch of blokes kicking tyres and chewing the fat ..
