How about some of you JAE vetrans giving us newbies some advice for the weekend.

(i.e. best time to arrive; do we take the car to the tent pitch etc...)

And Steve.. don't point to the jae forum

Could always join us on the friday afternoon....

Get there earlier, avoid the crowd, have the car polished and on the stand ready for the off on saturday, and of course most important another day of great company laying in the sun and another night of drinking....

Don't forget the resolv...

suntan lotion
headache tablets

big pot of humour. arrive early, leave late

PML @ Mat '3rd degree burns' Clawley

There speaks the voice of experience i seem to remember

Suntan lotion essential. Bring a chair and plenty of tins to drink, food if you want but there are many stalls there. Loads of money!!! Arrive when you can, but dont park on the dusty side of the road

Arrive early as poss, bring plenty to drink etc and somethin to sit on

so faar it sounds like a day at the beach

must be the cheapest beach goin in UK

Dude, if you go to the beach and don't park on the sandy side you get awful wet, no?

Get there on Friday quickly put up a tent, so that those you cannot hold their drink have some where to crash out

Ring any bells Andy

It was merely a mid-session nap Dave..........

At least a reappeared for the evening session, not like some eh Clawley

I forgot that vital fact, the chairman can't drink without sleeping or going red in the sun

Don't also forget to take a little man with a hose to keep the dust down (enter Hollow Legs)

I think we'll find the dusty road is closed this year ...

And we're nowhere near it anyway

Would name-tags be a good idea?? (with both real & forum name on)??

Also, I'll probably be arriving on Friday, so do people leave the tents up on saturday? and do we leave the cars on the stand or take them to the camp site?

Tell me if this is a daft idea, and I'm sure you will,
How about those of us attending JAE, and having our cars on the stand, doing a print-out of our Avatar and Signature to pop in the front windscreen.
This will show none Lexus owners, what modifications have been, and can be done to, our cars.
We used to do this at Sound-off's, with diagrams of ICE installs.
ANYONE GOT ANY THOUGHTS ON THIS ?

grand idea

me and lyn have a plan too

WOW Matt,
I wasn't expecting that responce from you..... I thought you'd ave shot me down.

I think that's a great idea. I have seen other clubs at various meets using this method and it does make you read it and also to identify the owner.

why?


the soarer club do this i think its a great idea

We did have some club spec sheets that were put together for the spring meet, I'll dig them out and post them tomoorw as I am sure they are on my works machine...

So any news on these spec sheets for LOC??

I've seen TOC have theirs

Not that I'm bothered, since I haven't got anything worth writing down...

DUNCAN- last year Steve (a.k.a. the Big Boss) gave us sheets to fill in and put inside the windscreens with any mods done. Didn't take long for me

Name tags is a good idea- I'm Jim by the way...That should save me buying any tags

I've just printed my own spec sheets.

Save the rain forests Chris- go unmodified!

We should have a car valeter there on the Saturday too - saves us hosing down the cars from the dust ourselves

Someone could make a mint doing that at JAE Claire..............I wonder if Dave's lad, Chris is for hire

Some how I don't think so

I disn't phrase that too well looking back at it We've got a car valeter coming along (Saturday at least). He's going to give us some good pricing - dependant on what you want it'll probably be about a tenner a car - he usually charges about £17.

Sounds good, I might have to use his services - it depends how good Friday night is

I'll stick to doing my own thanx Claire.

sounds superb

I'm getting him to valet my car on Friday - hope the shine lasts for the weekend

i will defo need mine doing, 6 months of TDI dust wont leave it looking as great as normal....

i better be the first in the "Q"

I WILL NEED EVERYTHING DOING..........including THE WHEELS

I thought was in charge of cleaning 's wheels

Not this year he ain't.........

LOL dip the fro in a bucket of soapy water and handbang his way into the wheels area!

any one thought of bringing an umberella

or has steve sorted the weather out

weather forecast is for rain... waterproofs now in car, don't mind the rain am sure it will still be a blast, will make for interesting soft sumo, TOC have got enough for a team, hows LOC doing ?

Errr, Tony you might be back in line for washing the wheels. The valeter had forgotten it's his daughter's birthday and he can't come out to play now

I will have my trusted Lexus umbrella with me.
Never leave home without it

well.. i have bought 2 gazeebos 3x3 meters

does anyone else have one?

Here's something to help y'all keep an eye on the forecast for the JAE weekend.

Weather Forecast for Northampton

That's not good
Hope the forecast turns out ot be false

<Goose swims to the middle of a big puddle where nobody will notice him>

Isn't that what they normally do ???

Exactly ... That's the whole point
Nobody will notice... I can be stealthy until 's finished cleaning 's wheels

Oh well... I guess that'll keep Mrs Mop busy with the chammy..

Not a chance.....

You will find us in the Pimms tent

those who want a hotel i have just booked my backside in to holiday Inn and they have loadsa rooms!

sky movies for me and minibar! whilst drying my hair in the shower!

Single room is it

I can only think of one reason to abandon the camp - soundproofing
