RWYB at Prescott 19th Aug

[stylussprinter]

Assumming that the car is still around do i need to book a camping spot myself or does it come with your "club stand" ....Phil

Just occurred to me that if your car was on the stand , it would be an ideal FOR SALE pitch if it had a spec sheet , build etc on the screen for interested parties to browse ----- especially after watching ' them ' fly up the hill

[stylussprinter]

I've welded up some hinge joints to make a new leg for my BROKEN eaz-up OR rather both broken eaz-ups It was just not possible to buy tube as thin a gauge as the original legs , which meant I couldn't use the slide mechanisms either , hence the welding job ---- anyway , both of them function ok , so will bring one to Prescott Might be handy if it's hot or even if it rains ----------- not that it will

[stylussprinter]

OK --- I'll start an order list for the caps to date and update as and when

Dave Huggett x 2
Rob Farley x 2
Matt Downes x 3
Ned x 2 ----------- Collected from Goodwood Aug 4th & paid , thanks Phil DH2 X 2 ----------- Posted 30th July / paid , thanks Dave
Ian Minki x 1

That's 12 Stylus caps bought so far , leaving another 8 caps for sale as of 14th July

The STYLUS caps are in transit to me via parcel force according to the company's email

[stylussprinter]

Here they are guys !

Anyone who wants one sent as opposed to collecting at PRESCOTT on the 19th August , please contact me on PM with your address .

Just sent 2 caps in a padded envelope 1st class post at £2-70p plus a 90p envelope -- so £3-60p at cost

OK Guys --- I'm just back after the weekend away and there's a nice little email from the organiser saying a stand for 10 cars is now booked Woohay Further more , it turns out he is a long term fan of the STYLUS and they've always been on his '' I want one '' list.
Nice that two more have committed (Matt & Craig) ----------------------- but Craig , it's 19th of AUGUST not July mate
I will get tickets for , wait for it , a PADDOCK stand because he likes the cars and thinks we'll likely be going up the hill a lot --- they will be sent to me about a month before so I'll have to post them out to you.
If more commit than 10 , I'll ask for more spaces if it's not too late

So far then it's -----
Me CONFIRMED --- PASS received
Dave Huggett CONFIRMED--- Passes x 2 posted(STYLUS/TIGER)
Sevensport/Alex CONFIRMED --- PASS x 2 posted (STYLUS/tintop)

Matt D NOT READY - ENGINE SWAP -- PASS delivered
Ken V8 (Matt's unc) CONFIRMED --PASS delivered
Chris H -- hopefully
Kev & Liz No engine running as of 9th Aug Liz is obviously very fast in 2nd
Norma In vx220 CONFIRMED -- PASS posted
CMA CONFIRMED --PASS posted
Ian Stiles ---- Caterham PASS delivered by hand
GLYN WEBSTER ---- just bought Jeff Bond's V8 Have asked him so maybe

OK Guys -- this is the stand list so far so on this basis , seeing as it's 6 weeks off the 19th August yet , I'll get in touch with the organisers again and ask for a 15 car stand . Even if you only park with us trying the hillclimb , it's better than leaving your 'beloved Stylus' far away in the car park
and I've contacted Tim B , hoping he's not committed elsewhere to help keep the Stylus marque interesting by him flying up the hill

Any more for the stand and hillclimb

[stylussprinter]

I am going to order a lightweight windproof/showerproof jacket for myself in BLACK plus the same logo as our caps embroidered on the left chest area. This is a one off just for me at £25 ish plus the post/pack , seeing as the logo is already on their files. Price is an estimate at the moment so if you fancy one too , give me a shout

[stylussprinter]

My online ordered entrance ticket arrived today -------- Stand passes still waiting for

[CMA]

My tickets arrived today too. Also booked the dog into the kennels. Then found my waterproof cover had grown some holes so just having to make a new one....

[stylussprinter]

STAND passes arrived today guys I'll post out asap to all those coming on the stand , for whom I have an address ---------- so if you think I haven't got yours please PM or email me

Otherwise if you don't have this pass in your window(as it says on the pass)you wont get on the stand OR get up the hill

[stylussprinter]

I REALLY NEED TO KNOW WHO'S GOING TO BE ON THE STAND NOW PLEASE anyone not actually committed please contact me plus address --- even if the car won't be a Stylus

[ianminki]

AS of today we only have 6 STYLUS's on the stand . I have posted/delivered 10 passes and PRESCOTT have actually sent me extra passes obviously expecting a big show of STYLUS's after looking at our forum.
I still have 9 more passes ------------------------- are there no other interested Stylus owners for the stand

[CMA]

Rob, might it be worth sending possible interested parties a PM on here (or direct email if you have them) that way if they don't check the forum regular they will get an email saying they have a PM and might come and look and then come along?

Rob , you have no idea how many PM's , emails and texts also some phone calls I've made since thinking of organising this Club day ---- in fact most days I am conjuring up ways to jog and encourage owners to support it . My own fault I suppose for assuming everybody is just waiting for another club stylus day out , meeting or trackday but if nobody does it then the marque will just be forgotten --- it's 5 years since I did the LLANDOW club day which was attended by COMPLETE KIT CAR plus article and have just had a couple of meetings at my home with food/beer etc since then.
LLANDOW got 16 cars out but not without chasing and generally being a pain First home meeting got about 6 cars from memory , the next just 3/4 cars .
I think that one of the problems is that many Stylus's are virtually being built as a hobby , taking 3 to 10 years plus some already built are in repairs or being upgraded --- all these things have been mentioned when making contact. Also personal problems , health etc.
I don't actually believe the supposed total of Stylus's sold either --- apparently 160 -- ish More like 80 to 100 with probably only half those ever completed
There are owners on the member list that I've PM'd as and when they sign up on this forum but never hear from ---- it seems to be a minority who want to join anything or meet up with others
Having said that ---- I'm retired without the pressures of work etc and still love competing so have little else to occupy me
Winge over

I'm not going to make Prescott I'm afraid; not that I don't want to as it looks like it'll be awesome but this summer is a nightmare in terms of living in one place, working in another and renovating a house somewhere else entirely which doesn't leave many weekends free for messing about in cars!
