Is anyone this year planning to go to the Expo 4x4 show at the end of February?

I went last year and met up with Jay and T-Doug, it was a bloody good event.

I was thinking about this one too but unfortunately I won’t be fit enough. Reckon we ought to choose a 4x4 show to have a club meet though.

Doubt the truck would be ready still even by then :doh Being as it's only Staffordshire though I'd better show my face as it's really not that far from me.

Not this year I'm afraid, that ship has sailed.

Shame you can't make it as I think this is the best show of the year. I went to the other one at the end of last year, cant remember the name. It sucked! :lol

If I can get the time off, it will only be the Saturday as I'd have to work on Sunday... I think last time we met on the Sunday. (I vaguely remember fighting off a hangover!)

Jay I think it might only be on the 24th I'm afraid. I thought like you it was Saturday and Sunday but I think its just the Sunday :doh

I'll keep you posted! :thumbs

Well I tell you what, if you manage too, fancy a meet up before heading in, and anyone else that's going?

We could have a small group get-together and head into the show :naughty

I’ll see how the recovery goes but might be pushing it a bit really. Enjoyed last years visit and was thinking about a decent quality led light bar.

Good news! I've managed to swap my Sunday shift, so I will be able to make it to the show again this year!

It's about a 4 hour trip down for me, so if we're gonna meet up before the show you'll have to let me know when & where! :thumbs

Excellent mate, are you going to come down yourself or is the wee man coming down?

I'll take a look at the road down for yourself and try and come up with a good meeting place.

If anyone else is wanting to meet up let me know and I'll try and organise it :thumb2

Ok ticket bought :thumb2

Jay, I know you are coming a long way, so I put Newcastle to the postcode and tried to pick somewhere close to your route to meet up.

How about Sudbury service station for a meeting point?

If you put that in google maps it should be on the A515.

If that's ok with you we can then sort out a time. It's a bit out the way for me but keeps me away from Birmingham which is always good.

Jay666d
18-02-2019, 22:54
Yeah, that meeting point works well for me.

Reckon I could be there at about 1030 - 1100. :thumbs

Mr K
19-02-2019, 19:21
Excellent, time sounds good too. If we aim for 10.30 that will hopefully give us a little bit to play with traffic wise as the roads can be awful :thumb2

Great. See you there. :thumbs
