Wrong thread for this post Tony. Needs to be in the chat thread. Moving it is above my pay grade! Paul - Hopefully now moved to the right thread! THANKS PAUL

Yes you would be very welcome but you need to join the Club via the 'STORE' tab above. Then let us know when you are coming and pay LMF before the 5th for overnight camping or pay on the door for a day ticket.

VBOA National Weekend Yesterday at 12:21 ***VBOA RALLY - IMPORTANT*** TELEPHONE & ONLINE BOOKINGS WILL CLOSE AT 5PM ON FRIDAY 6TH JULY. You will still be able to pay on the gate after this time, however it is cheaper to prebook online.

Tom, there will be plenty of room this year, the stand is much larger. Running past our stand is the 'ringroad' on the other side of it will be space for us to park non Mk2s if we need to.

Photos not working for me.

OK everyone. We don't have access to the LMF database so, if you are coming can you please add the all the details as a NEW post on the sign up thread. We will add you to the master list. Thanks in advance.

Good to hear John, which day(s)?

This is the gathering information on who is coming thread. As in previous years please do not amend the initial master summary post. Please add your own post with the information requested and a Mod will add it to the master list before deleting it. Again, do not put chat here as it will be deleted. Put it in the chat thread. VBOA want to know 1. How many vehicles on the stand by day. We want to know how many are Mk2 Cavaliers and how many others. 2. How many tents and their approx size e.g. 2, 3 , 4 person etc 3. Any caravans/motorhomes/trailers if any, as space is very limited. So, when you say you are coming please state - name (handle and real), what car, which day(s) - if overnight your tent size, motorhome Thanks

That is correct, discount only applies on 2+ night bookings.

Ring LMF to ask why.

No code. Just select Mk2Cav in the list of Clubs and book for 2 or more nights and the discount will be applied. This link will get you to the right place. Also tons more info on the event is there as well. http://www.lmfvauxhall.co.uk/Camping-for-VBOA-National-Day-2018.html

Interesting question. Will check.

Had a VBOA meeting today. Below is the revised layout for this year's show. As you can see we are up near the entrance. The stand is 50 metre square, so bigger than Billing! Running around the site is a two lane, one way track going clockwise so although we are by the entry we will have to drive all the way round to get to us. This is how it is today, there may be changes but not for us. The auto jumble and entertainment area is in the large black area bottom right. Toilets will be scattered around the site and we are close to the shower block! The site is proving to be very resilient in wet weather. They have just taken two big shows from other show grounds (next week its 300+ horses and their transports) from other show grounds, including Peterborough, that are currently waterlogged. So if does rain we will not see another Billing washout. Don't forget that you will have to be a paid up Club member to put your car on our stand. We need that £15 to pay for insurance and the other admin costs of the Club including this website and our VBOA related activities.

Sprinkle some talc around so you can see from the water trail across it the direction of flow.

Looks really nice. Good choice. That wheel looks very like the early Calibra 4 spoke that a few of us use.

Putting a grinder with a wirebrush in it or just a poke around with a screwdrive can reveal all kinds of nasties. That little rust spot may be the tip of an iceberg.

The MOT guy is looking at it from a different perspective to you. He is really only looking for dangerously bad corrosion around suspension mounting points. Your horizon is much wider, plus you are interested in the the future i.e. stopping further degradation, he isn't.

Wait a moment! That rust to the left of that area looks highly suspect to me. Get a screwdriver into it as I have a horrible feeling, based on my past experience, that all is not well there. Bear in mind that it is probably outside in rot you can see as that is an inherently dry/zero abrasion part of the footwell. Outside at that spot is a completely different matter, it is one of the top if not the top rot areas in the car. If it is like that inside it is likely that outside is a mess. Hope not but it looks the same under the accelerator pedal.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-CAVALIER-SRI-130-5DR-HATCH-CLASSIC-MK2/123035916063 Already at £3800 with a couple of bidders fighting it out. This should go for really good money. Just in case mention the Club or even this thread. Good luck.

The Cavalier/Vectra A shares their underbody with the Astra F. The Cavalier/Ascona C are different.
