After speaking to Justin today it looks as if we are going but not to represent Volvot5.co.uk.
So its just a matter of who wants to go along for a day out with no club stand and it looks like you will have to sort your own tickets.
Mrs Mopp has suggested Donnington services as the place to meet between 10:30 and 11:00 so we will be able to arrive and park together.Its down to you now hope to see you all there!
Here is the list please pm me so i can add names.
1. Vikingt5
2. TDS3
3. V70Man
4. Goof
5. Redbrick
6. Mikej
7. Mattv70
8. Mrs Mopp
9. T5owner
10. Lil_me
11. wanat5
12. Lance ?
14. Judge Ninja with no t5 ?

For those of you wishing to park on the infield i am guessing you will have to be there earlier than 10am as car movements are normally limited once the events are under way. Will have to see what the tickets say i guess but be aware.

Right i am told that it is £15 each admission, my paypal addy is rscos@msn.com.

If kids are free i will return your monies on the day Ok, otherwise it's £15 for everyone, if you have passengers you can probs pay on the day too but best to get a pre ordered ticket. If you wanna send me a cheque you must PM me for my addy. Mike J i sent u a PM. MattV70 i'll order you one too.

Did you have to Register ? I've been trying to get through by phone for 2 days to no avail. Seems a bit of a Micky Mouse setup to me whoevers organising it.

I have payment from Mike J & Viking T5, the rest of the paypal accounts were rejected as i cannot recieve credit/debit payments without upgrading my account at a cost.

OK thanks for trying.

Your off on holiday soon, correct? Do you want to keep trying or shall we try and do it by ourselves.

What do you want to do?

Can we just meet at the services at the arranged time and pay on the gate on the day?

I thought we were all meeting at the services , not so ? :slap: ££££ now am totally confused :dunce: , is anyone staying over night if so where ? as i will have to book the boy and i into a hotel etc .What i was hopeing to do was maybe even drive up friday night and stay somewhere near to the place we were all meeting on the morning , maybe even stay sat night and make the meet on sunday? what is everyone else doing then???

TangoDeltaSierra3
Thursday 8th September 2005, 00:51
If we just turn up we cannot go infield, probs be parked anywhere, we could be knee deep in sludge etc..., i wanna know how T5 owner has booked, i'm not registering to know unknown sites who wont answer a phone basically, i go away Fri pm till Wed pm so after tomoz anyone else can have a go. I've cashed no cheques etc yet either way.

t5owner
Thursday 8th September 2005, 13:30
Craig,

Yeah i had to register to get the discounted ticket after that its fairly straight forward i tried on the phone first aswell gave up after 5 hours
There is a comments section on the confirm ticket order page just type in that you wish to be located on the infield along with myself "Down as volvo t5 forums club" and then pay for the tickets

I assumed you`d already booked so i requested to be on the infield with you guys but it appears that i`m first to buy a ticket so i`m awaiting confirmation of my booking as they are probs wondering about the rest of you as i said in the comments you`d be booking as a group of six so i wouldn`t be on my own

PM me if your havin probs and i`ll give you my mobile number

Also suggest that we still meet at the services b4 the event as soon as i get conf of my ticket and entry times i`ll post it on here

Best get some pm`s sent for mobile numbers so we all know whats happening

Also noticed that they`ve already got my payment from my bank so hopefully i should get my ticket pretty soon


Cheers

stuart

t5owner
Thursday 8th September 2005, 13:42
Having checked the website it would appear that the event kicks off at 09:00 am so would suggest a meet up at the services at about 07:30 - 08:00 :jaw: :slap: so we can join the queue to get in as no doubt it will be busy

I`ll confirm the times when i eventually get my ticket

t5owner
Thursday 8th September 2005, 14:18
Just a thought here

If you want i`ll order the tickets as i`m already registered on the site and we can sort out the money side when we meet up at the donny services on the day

Let me know the exact number of tickets required and i`ll sort it out if you wanna do it this way and then we should all be parked on the infield in one group

Anyone bringing a volvo flag along for the day or has anyone got one to lend us

Cheers

Right i'm back on Wed 14th Sept, i'm hoping the tickets get here tomorrow actually, but if not i'll keep hold of em. I have a feeling that as exhibitors we will have to be there early guys, if thats the case & any one wants to go in late i will have to post them to you on Wed 14th, that way you should get the ticket in good time. In past expierience though after 9am the traffic gets heavy and queues back towards the M1 so i'd rather get to Donington Services for 9.00 ish than crawl in to Donington later. Leave it with yer for now peeps!

Ok i have just received an email from the organisers who say that infield access will be available all day so now all we need to do is sort out the meeting up part i have spoken to a few people about driving up together and Mrs Mopp and Goof cannot meet up till 10:30 so i will try ringing all the people whos numbers i have got and see if i can sort something.

Mrsmopp
Friday 9th September 2005, 16:30

Dont know but it is probably better to order one before.

Vikingxl
Friday 9th September 2005, 16:58
Changed my mind on the phoning bit.Tds3 wants to get there early (9am) so shall we all meet at Donninton servces for 9 and i will then wait for Moppy and Goof and whoever else cannot make it for 9 as then at least we will be able to get the tickets sorted with tds and the people already there will be able to save us some spaces.As for the drive up anybody wanting to meet up around Brum on the way through give me a ring the number is 0784 3388134 probably best to look at around the 7:30 point but we can sort that later.

Thats where i had in mind.

Redbrick - Donnington is Junction 23a of the M1 - the services are literally just off the slip road first exit.

Right ticket has arrived just says for saturday addmission only nothing about parking on the infield so i assume we`ll have to sort that out when we arrive at the gate not sure which gate were to use so no doubt we`ll find that out on the day also

Anyone requiring my mobile for contact as regards the meet at donny services b4 we go to the event send me a pm and i`ll pm you with it

Hey, as i'm still in Germany i can't say if we have passes for trackside or not, T5Owner it might be worth ringing them and verifying that you should have one or not, we don't want to be arguing the toss with a spotty faced steward at 9am on a Saturday am do we . And wheres the question mark on a German keyboard lol....grrr! See you soon, anyone else up for this meet hurry up and get sorted out.

TDS3,And everyone else attending

Have spoken to thorney motorsport who are the orginisers of this event as its nothing to do with donny its self you should be receiving your tickets with "infield parking passes" shortly

It would seem they missed me off the list (cos i ordered seperatly from you guys) :slap: so mine has been dispatched today

Any one else whos coming and has not ordered a ticket via tds3 and is going to pay on the gate will not be able to park on the infield with the rest of us attending as "Volvo T5 Forums Club" as a pass is required for this

Will see you all at donny sevices at 09:00 on saturday TDS i`ve pm`d you my new mobile number

Cheers

Ticket arrived today even though I'd cancelled it :slap:

Came with an A4 photocopied piece of paper saying 'Car Club Parking Pass, Volvo T5 Club'

I'll do some photocopies just in case! ;)

So I guess there is a spare ticket with TDS if anyone wants it.

If no one does I'll send mine back after the event and get the promised refund.

This is where it gets confusing! lol

I haven't paid TDS so buy the ticket off him on Saturday as he's paid for it and its still in his possession... confused you will be!

I'll use my ticket that I've paid for and arrived today to get in. :slap:


BUT your not going to be there till later.... so

I'll buy the ticket off TDS, give it to viking (if his car is ready) and then you can pay me back later that day. Remember I need a bottle of Presta off you!

Is that cool? What happens if Viking can't make it- how are you going to get the ticket as we'll already be in.

Care to add a bit of female logic as clearly my brain is burned. :bricks:

Unless I post my ticket to you.

Ticket arrived today even though I'd cancelled it :slap:

Came with an A4 photocopied piece of paper saying 'Car Club Parking Pass, Volvo T5 Club'

I'll do some photocopies just in case! ;)

So I guess there is a spare ticket with TDS if anyone wants it.

If no one does I'll send mine back after the event and get the promised refund.

Thanks redbrick i may well need a copy of that if mine doesn`t turn up as promised

Cheers

Yayy i'm back, and yes there are 7 passes with 7 tickets, a word of warning for anyone asking for copies of the infield pass i am suspecting they will have allocated space for the number i have booked, which is 8, if theres room for more even better, but be warned lol.....

Yea haaa my parking pass arrived this morning so i guess if tds has 7 tickets and passes and redbrick has one and pass and i now have one and pass we should have at least nine spaces allocated but we could always try our luck on the day for any stragglers with a copy of the pass for any that are paying on the gate on the day

542BHP & 4WD.

Oh - my - God! 0-175 in around 20 secs. Fastest thing I've ever been in. If it doesn't win the 1/4 mile shootout, I wouldn't like to be in the car that does!

I'm supposed to be meeting up with Viking and driving up, so we might as well all go at the same time. (As long as you don't mind getting up early to get to the services for 9)

I'll wait to hear if Viking's got his car back from the garage ok and we'll sort it out a bit later on tonight! I'll PM you my mobile number.

I'll ring TDS when we get there in the morning and if anyones got spare tickets for inside and doesn't mind none Volvos being on the stand we'll park with you if someone can get the tickets to the gates, as I don't think we'll get to the meeting point on time but we'll try (another car coming with us aswell) . Save wasted tickets as I know a few were going spare/over ordered.

The Skoda was...... dare I say FAB? ;-)

Well driven!

Some great coverage for Chiptuning and the event as a whole was a good day, no real incidents apart from 3 offs by the same blue Elise, snigger.....

Hopefully next time I will be walking and therefore driving, put some of those words in to action on one of my favorite UK tracks.

Take care all
