Reading Bash 7 - 17th Feb!

[Petrolhead]

So after the last proposed Reading Bash was cancelled due to poor weather, a new date for the postponed Reading Bash 7 has been set - 17th Febuary 2008, starting at 12 noon as usual.

It's a good chance for TCers to meet, chat and drive with fellow R/C enthusiasts. We're all a very friendly bunch, and really enjoy meeting new members. You can bring any cars / parts you have for trade or sale aswell.

So where is it? Well, along Caversham Park Road, Reading (Postcode RG4) there are Caversham Park Village Tennis courts with a car park. The turning into the car park is a few hundred yards away from the tuning (on the other side of the road) into Fraser Avenue. If you put Fraser avenue into something such as http://maps.google.co.uk/, you will see Caversham Park road and using the satellite feature you can see the tennis courts/car park.

We'll be meeting in the car park at 12, but should you turn up later, here's a quick map of how to get to where we'll be running our cars:

You walk through the car park, past the skate park along a narrow dirt track. Keep going past the first line of bushes, until you reach the woods. We'll be right infront of you on the edge of the woods, by a big bowl.

For more info/pics of previous bashes, see the Reading Bashers SIG here: http://tamiyaclub.com/sig_member.asp?id=21

If you're thinking of coming, let me know by popping your name down in this thread.

Look forward to seeing you all

Allie.

I'll be there, hungover but there!

Anyone need a lift from the Bournemouth area? The only slight problem is what to bring? I have nothing ready bar a Savage. Might have to go shopping!

[Wrc action]

Well thats not suprising considering the number of items u av been busy putting on ebay

Wouldnt happen to have some driveshafts in there would u now ....

[ryanbored]

Driveshafts for what mate? yeah I know, I kinda had a change of direction. again. None of my projects will be ready by then, but I still fancy coming along. Might get a cheap something or other just to play with. (ahem!)

[Wrc action]

driveshafts for my support truck, namely 1 highlift one and 1 from the pajero xc.

Might I suggest something like a touareg or perhaps a cheap buggy,

cheers

Ryck

[ryanbored]

I know It's very un-Tamiya of me but I fancy a brushless stampede...

Also a frog could do it for the cheapness side of things?

Anyone got anything to sell me? I'm very easily lead :)and have about 60 spare at this moment (isn't it funny how money in you paypal account seems worth alot less than money in your hand or bank account?!)

And sorry can't help on the driveshaft side of things

[Wrc action]

Lol I know what u mean, never mind about the driveshafts, seems no one has any at the moment :@

Still will have a look around see what I can find to flog ya, Now where is that junk box....

[Petrolhead]

Ryan, the closest postcode I can get is RG4, but that's not very accurate. Stick Caversham Park Road in you sat-nav as that's the road with the tennis court car-park where we're meeting at 12.

Cars I'm bringing:

Fox the faithful

Crawler

Pumpkin

XC

Possibly Mini

Unfortunately, Rad can't make it. But Stu, one of the Reading Bash founders, will be there. Good to see him back.

Edit: Sorry chaps, once again I won't be there.

[ryanbored]

The only problem is now I want to buys loads more runners...

Yup, both Dad and I had a great day. Cars all went well and we were blessed with the weather. Thanks to Dunk, and the rest, for making it a good day.
