You're on the list mate I've organised 7 passes so far so I've still got a spare one...

That list does include the exile who are coming too

[Rexi84]

cheers looking forward to it.

You got room for a little one, Steve? Trying to get my life organised but very much hoping I'll be there

[Steve-A]

Yup we can fit you in Nik, especially as your threads have gone down so well on the Retrorides forum You fill the last space I've currently got. But until the end of the month getting more spaces shouldn't be too hard. I know Liam on Exile would like to come but he's not sure if his FB will be ready in time.

Thanks, Steve, much obliged mate.

I'll get a ticket regardless then and worry about Rotorstock if I have to. Or if anyone cares about there beign a rotorstock this year

[Marc S]

I'll be going to rotorstock...

Hate to moan, but the whole rotorstock thing is a tad confusing...it grinds my gears when people say "let's not bother going, cos not many people go" er...well, yeah, cause and effect eh! It's what we make it...and it could be great...surely????

Hmmm. Fair point, and one that I used to champion myself when, despite my character assassinations since, I was a staunch supporter of MRC and even went so far as to be a mainstay of organising meets and runs for it. Since they chose to ban me in a most perfunctory manner, however, I don't see any real need to support their enterprises. Especially when they can barely be bothered to support it themsleves

Leaving aside personal politics (which I've always endeavoured not to bring here), Rotorstock is a rubbish show and always has been. It has more tumbleweeds than cars and the only reason I (and many others go) is to meet up with mates and see lots of rotaries. Lets be honest, there's nothing else there. However, in the current economic climate and where it take a hundred quid in petrol alone to get my FD to Santa Pod and back, I need to prioritise what shows I attend, and I'd rather go somewhere like Retro Rides and see hundreds of amazing cars than Rotorstock and see maybe a hundred... and my mates who I'll see at all the decent shows anyway
