It’s that time of year when I need to collect the Carfest payments. :oops:

All weekend (Friday, Saturday & Sunday) for a Delorean & 2 persons is £156.00

Camping is £25 per night.

You can arrive anytime from noon on Thursday & leave by noon Monday.

Carfest North is fully booked

Carfest South has 2 spaces Friday & Saturday at £65 a day (car & 2 persons).

You can either send me a cheque or paypal.

The very last limited & high priced public tickets go on sale next week, so if your thinking about it let me know asap (by pm) to secure the last places at Carfest South

It’s going to be a BRILLIANT weekend! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :dance:

Regards
Darren

Well…….What an eventful Weekend.
Far too much to list in this short post!
Thanks to everyone who attended and supported Children In Need.
John’s drivers side Lower ball joint sheared while on the last lap of honour on the circuit. Fortunately he was ok and the car was quickly recovered by circuit staff. Within the hour we had telephoned around and a New Lower ball joint, circlip and tools were on its way to Carfest courtesy of nearby Dave Howarth. The car was fixed that afternoon and John was able to drive home.
Saturday was sombre with the unfortunate crash of the air display Gnat. Early indications are that the engine failed as it went quiet and simply fell from the sky. Our thoughts go out to the Pilots family.
Every evening the Music was just amazing. Bob Geldof and the Boomtown Rats were a sight to behold (I’m sure he was off his head) The line up of Music & Stars was just amazing.
The cars were fantastic with Chris Evan’s Famous Five, growing to a Magnificent 7 and this year The dirty Dozen. Nick Mason’s brand spanking new La Ferrari and Chris’s year old La Ferrari were a sight to behold as were all the other numerous classic, modern and customised cars on display.
Over the weekend the organisers brought kids around and asked them to vote for their favourite Car Club and Car. Mike won hands down with his BTTF car, and in the entire history of Carfest there have only ever been two Trophies awarded. BTTF Brian won the first in 2012 and now Mike in 2015 Deloreans Rock!
We are doing it all again at Carfest South at the end of the Month.
There is still car space available on Friday & Saturday with potential for anyone attending these days to stay on a day pass for Sunday.
Please let me know if you would like to come along and join the party.
Artists playing at Carfest South are:

Jools Holland
Scouting for Girls
The Boomtown Rats
The Lionels
Plus a spectacular line dancing performance by Country Vive
Paloma Faith
Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott
Seasick Steve
Sophie Ellis-Bextor
Texas
The Feeling
Ward Thomas
Bellowhead
Bjorn to Rock
Eddie and The Robbers
Level 42
Midge Ure
Take That
The Shires

WHAT AN AMAZING CONCERT THAT'S GOING TO BE. :shock:

Come on Dan, make it this year.... ;)

There are still two Delorean spaces available at Carfest South Friday & Saturday!

This is going to be a fantastic show so if you're um-ing and are-ing or thinking about it, please let me know asap.

I have just been told by someone on the inside that Chris Evans has only a few hours ago put his WHOLE collection of 13 classic cars into the Goodwood Revival Auction. :shock:

Carfest South will be the last opportunity to get up close and see the multi-million pound collection all together with Chris at the wheel!

Plus have a fantastic time with fellow car enthusiasts :D
