The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

Dunchurch to stoneleigh is roughly 1/2 hour 40min, just follow the signs for the A45 COVENTRY, after going over (i think) 2 islands you will come to a massive island which is trafficlight controlled...take the second exit (this is a continuation of the A45) at the next island (peugeot one your right, BP stantion on left) take the 1st exit....follow that road and stoneleigh will come up on your right, its about 5-10min from that island!!

Quick question....why does everyone that stays over before the show stay out of Coventry?? There is a Holiday inn 10min away from stoneleigh by the peugeot/BP island!!

£29 a night at the travelodge was cheapest I could find and so sounded like a pretty good idea to me!!

Fair point, iv just done a quick search on the Holiday inn web site, for a standard room for 2 people, book in on the 9th feb out on the 10th it would be £49.95....

Its cheaper than we paid for a travel lodge when we went to the enfeild pagent, it cost us £60 a room for one night!!

But not as cheap as £29

and its not gonna cost the difference in fuel to get to stoneleigh!!

Iv been asked to post this by a committee member......

The club stand for the stoneleigh show is going to be a 70's theme stand, it will also represent a 1970's car dealership with various members dressed up as a car salesman, service technician, and parts tech, the rest of us will be the general public looking at buying a “new” car!!

If you want to come dressed in 70’s style then that is up to yourselves but it would look good whist on the stand, the guys that are helping out will be dressed in 70’s clothes for the day, me and von included!!

We have never tried anything like this before, and will be a first!!

We’re also hoping it will generate a lot of interest to the stand and also for the club as i have never seen anything like this at stoneleigh!!

So there we go, we just wanted to let the members know what the plan is for the Sunday, dressing up its optional but we are hoping that the members helping out on the day will join in with the theme!!

I'll be there, at least for the middle part of the day, after I have finished shuttling kids around, and before I restart shuttling later in the day.

Don't know about 70's garb - more like overalls as I will be handling an engine and a diff, among other sundries....

Colin, now I'm confused. When you say MAIN car park. Is that where I eventually found you last time? Where the KFC is, etc, etc. NOT the petrol station bit. Change of plan re: vehicle, I will most likely go in Big Momma as I will be bringing back seats and things. She may be 2.5 litres of LR throbbiness but she's SLOW in a throbby sort of way. Are you sure you can cope with sublight speeds, especially with you being all Sprinted up and all?

Ken

My tickets arrived this morning!

Getting excited now...what is the weather forecast?
