or it depends if you want to stop in some ware lively with

entertainment

not that i could conone such dodgy establishments like lap dancing clubs


I think some of the southerners are camping near by
Don't mention Scotch Corner ... you'll break me out in cold sweats

I spent probably the worst years of my former life as a Squaddie in Catterick

never whent to a lap dancing club ever... honest
Oh the memories that are haunting me now

They were going to be something like below, but we have changed the logo now from the dragon, so will be much the same but with another logo instead.

These will most probably be polo's for blokes and fitted T's for ladies.

LordHarding any recomendations from local knowledge - Travelodge/ B&B

1. Smiles & Lady R

2. Krud and Cynthia - 555 Wagon Squadron (Southern billet normally)

3. trails
Been looking into this and as we will be on a southern approach I think we should begin circling over A1M (north) for a suitable place to down :

I was thinking travelodge style accomodation rather than b&b would be easier to arrange as conviniently located on most large motorway service areas or main arterial roads.
Looks like a lot of the accomodation is full allready, was thinking about Harrogate as seemed easiest but is booked. rooms are approx 50 a night, some places that have rooms are:

http://www.travelodge.co.uk/find_a_h...rybridgeA1/M62

http://www.travelodge.co.uk/find_a_h...radfordAirport

http://www.travelodge.co.uk/find_a_h...45/LeedsColton

http://www.travelodge.co.uk/find_a_h...chCornerSkeeby

let us know what you think, we best get booked quick b4 they all go

Can you add me in please?

4. Kwaky

I'm coming from London, so could meet any fellow wagoners on the A1M - like Baldock Services of something....

Travellodge is usually a good bet. Clean rooms, shower etc. And they sometimes have an eatery/pub thing next door

Paul, was after some Pff 7's, but i believe they are to wide for a wagon, bit of rubbing. Couldn't get rid of the scoob Paul, nothing else ticked all the boxes , as for the modding, hopefully booked into Prosport next week for a bit of a tweek here and there . for the Waxacar meet, i should think so m8. Have you swapped your exhaust yet? need the loudness do ya? Hows Jeanette liking the wagon now? has she got used to it?

Default Buzz abd Bee signing in

hello all just been informed by the boss (no bars krud) that i have missed a thread, it has taken me 2 nights to read the whole of this thread, in between sorting out, a new business venture and sussex scoobies stuff,

i, hope to get to the NBO in convoy with NO bars krud, (cant miss this) even though, i should be working on my wifes new shop, that will be opening 2 weeks after this, but i aint missing this for anything, will also like to add that its our wedding anerversary on the day, and she has still said yes (thats love for ya)

i will need acomadation for 2 and will help out were i can!

for starters

Flags, i have a subaru flag and so dos no bars krud, you have mentioned flag poles, i can get some made up and sprayed silver, i have 1 that you drive on to a plate (sits under weel) but i can get more made for free, i will aim to get 3 more made to give us a total of 4 if you want,

i also have a gazzebo that i can bring along, plus 2 tables and a cool box that plugs into the car,

then we have a game PIN THE TAIL ON SCOOBY DOO, this is not tacky, as the tail is magnetic and bendy but firm, its about 8inch long and the ladys love it, i will supply prizes and all money made goes to charity,

i will post up more soon,

also intreasted in t shirts and no plates etc,

heres a few pics of the wagon, its a bit different, but fun



as for load capacity,

so far i have had 60 Sq meters of lamminet flooring, plus BIG tool box, work mate, drills, saws, 50litres of paint and the wife in car, and i still left a RS turbo standing along a dual carrige way

up the wagons!

Welcome to the thread

What took you so long

Look forward to having your wagon on the stand

Great stuff with the offers of assistance All sounds great, and will take you up on it all The pin the tail on scooby sounds great

The flag poles would be fantastic, was struggling there, 4 should be a good number. We will have our new 'ScoobyWagons' flags and banners ready for this, a top secret logo that will be revealed on the day.

Was thinking two 'ScoobyWagons' flags (if can afford to get two made) to show everyone where the best club stand will be, then would be good if we could have a subaru flag and maybe an STI one if anybody had one to show that Saloons aren't the only ones to get the STI Treatment

Looking for any contacts for getting flags printed and vinyl banner done with our new logo. Also the new logo is being made into stickers for your paint or windows and will be doing front screen banners as well, again if anybody knows anybody who can do us a good deal with this would be much appreciated

2006 truly will be ## Year of the Wagon ##

as you know i organise a weekend away for sussex scoobies with acomadation etc, i ask the place to block book and get separate ref no, then give each person there no and then it s there proplem not mine, cna still cause the odd proplem though, unless you deal with 1 receptionist,

as for stickers and banners i use signwizzard in eastbourne, i will say that we have some 555 wagon squadron stickers that we are going to bring up with us

Great idea! I'm in the midlands - not that far away, but arriving the night before definitely makes things a bit more relaxed.

Block book if okay with you.

Yes - need to keep us in close formation. Also need to check with the hotel that they can accomodate a "Squadron Scramble" if the need should arise.
