Fast Marina Magazine

Am thinking about going up to peterborough for the BMC/BL rally and was jus wondering when it is and do i need to pre book if so where do i get a form ?

Sunday 2nd August, this is the application form:
BMC/BL Show August App Form

I will probably be there but very unlikely to be going in the Marina as my dad refuses to drive it that far

Thanks for the info josh
is any one else going?

Hi Josh loads mate, expect around 30 - 35 Marinas/Itals if it is dry/sunny and 25 cars if it is wet/windy.

It's also probably the best BL autojumble around short of Beaulieu - loads of rare and unusual Marina/Ital bits last year.

Cadge a lift - see you there.

Probably will be able to go, not in the Marina though Watch out for a boring black Renault Clio

hoping to come in an Ital estate if not will either be my mk1 rally coupe as seen in profile pic or my gold mk3

Great,

The club stand has all sorts, Mk 1s/2s/3s/Itals - kits etc. - all members welcome. If you're not a member I'll sign you upo on the day.

i am a member have been since 1996 wow thats a while ago,
whats the camping like?

Around 90 miles each way? says a lot for your old man's confidence in the Marina, I regularly clocked up between 12 and 18 hundred miles per week in my pickup, if your'e worried, join the AA, just tell him although the Clio will do 45 MPG, probably have a decent wireless, aircon etc,the Marina will be an adventure, you've never lived until you've seen your car being dragged home on the back of a AA beavertail.
In todays money around about £240 per week in petrol alone! never mind lube oil & consumables such as Ginsters pasties, crisps, & pop :roll: :roll: :roll:, still at 20 pence per mile that I charged my former employer, the young lad earned nearly as much as me :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I've not camped there but I believe that it's pretty basic. Ferry Meadows is part of a large council country recreation area, open fields, lakes etc. There is a proper toilet block and a cafe however.

You could try contacting the organisers as they lay on a hog roast and live music for those that stay overnight.

Has anyone camped out at Ferry meadows.

No decent wireless? What's my 8-track for then No air-con? It's got windows that wont suddenly fail when the electrics go
My dad doesnt like driving the Marina, he has knee problems from years of kneeling whilst working on massive diesel engines and generators at work and his knees keep hitting the steering wheel, as such he finds it rather uncomfortable. He also says it's noisy, is crap round corners etc etc etc :roll:

ill be there but i dont know what car i am taking it could be my marina /rover 214 cabrio/rover 820 fastback .
