Hi,

losing my son please help - ScoobyNet

There a car meet going on in west Yorkshire for a child that has weeks to live, the story brought a year to my eye and it is appearing on all sorts of forums!

Think it may be a special one off thing that some of us may want to attend!!

EDIT: Revised (nearby) location & time:
FRED LAWTON LTD MELTHAM MILLS INDUSTRIAL ESTATE, MELTHAM, HUDDERSFIELD, HD9 4AY
SATURDAY 8TH SEPTEMBER FROM 1PM

Show your support guys & gals!!

First of all, thanks for bringing this to our attention, JMerrie.

I won't even try to offer suitable words to describe the situation, because I'm fairly sure there aren't any; I'll simply say that I for one (and I dare say more of you reading about this) am compelled to attend, and show support in any way I (/we) can.

IMPORTANT:

It's clear that news of this gathering is spreading far and wide, and it's looking likely that there'll be a significant number of vehicles in attendance - reading the latest (at time of writing) on the thread at SoobyNet, it appears they're in the process of ensuring capacity, permission and management of such a potentially large meeting.

IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ORGANISATION FOR THE GUYS AT SCOOBYNET EASIER, I KINDLY REQUEST THAT YOU FOLLOW SOME GUIDELINES FOR THIS THREAD:

1) If you *seriously* intend to attend the meeting, please join the list I'll start below. For example, if you're second on the list, copy and paste my entry into your post, and add your details at a new entry (No 2). The third person on the list copies the list to that point, and adds their details at position number three.

2) IF YOU WISH TO TAKE PART IN DISCUSSION PLEASE USE >>THIS THREAD<< - Discussion will quickly confuse the list, and again, I'm sure you'll agree that it's important we help the guys at ScoobyNet by being as clearly organised as we can - the idea is that we can supply as accurate a number as possible, and ensure that if they want to keep an eye on how things are moving here, it can be done at a glance.

3) IF YOU NOTICE ANY MISTAKES IN THE LIST - SOMEONE MAKING A HASH OF COPY & PASTE (ACCIDENTS HAPPEN) - PLEASE USE THE REPORT POST BUTTON SO THAT A MODERATOR CAN COME AND UNTANGLE IT ASAP.

4) IF YOU ARE WAFFLING ON THIS THREAD - DON'T BE SURPRISED IF YOUR POST(S) VANISH WITHOUT WARNING. IF YOU PERSIST, YOU MIGHT EVEN EARN AN *** KICKING. THIS ONE *REALLY* MATTERS, FOLKS.

5) If you receive any revised information about the meeting (venue etc.) and it hasn't been updated in the first post on this thread, again, please use the report post button and advise us so that we may keep the details accurate.

Now, all that said - I'd be really pleased if ASN could come together and present a good selection of eurobox rep-buses in support of our rice-burning comrades, and help give this lad a grand day out.

Thanks & regards,

Rob.

can anyone tell me if we are cofirmed as on the list for this event as ive just seen the list is now closed on scoobynet, need to know if we are on the invted list via AUDI SPORTS NET or not ?
 
No idea - I was thinking the same.
I tried to post up our names on the scooby net forum a few days ago but couldnt post for some reason.
 
I have just posted our list on Scoobynet thread - hope were not too late?
I will be going regardless anyway.
 
Hmm, looks like they arent aware of us lot going.
Bit of a shame as I thought someone would have posted our names - but like I said earlier, ill be going - even if it means parking a mile down the road.

Same here really, ah well, I did try and get our names on the list last minute, but looks like there is no chance.
Would you guys consider meeting up close by and walking to the event?
I have had a quick look on google maps - there is a Morrisons to the west of the event which looks like a 10min walk away.
Failing that, im sure we could find somewhere else to park a few cars?
 
Hi Alexgsi200 its looking like a no go for me in car at least ,altho id love to be there im not going to risk just been sat in a 10 mile tailback cos the roads are gridlocked,there are people coming from all over the uk and it would appear there going up invite or not,im seriosly considering going thru on motorbike Honda vfr750 as its a lot easier to park than my b5 avant and walk to the event just to show my face and say i was there, still more than happy to meet up,if so give me your details
Steve...:3sadwalk:
 
****** hell, what a shame dont know what has happened here but ive asked if we can squeeze 4-5 cars inc me and it was a straight no....although he reckons 10% wont turn up on the list...but ov cant say that in the forum...

If i would have known i could have grabbed 10 places mid week...anybody want my mobile pm me...
 
Hi s3Dave thats life but im still gonna try get there on bike if at all possible, if not then hope whoever does attend has a good day,and gets some good pictures up on here please....
 
Steve i can meet you outside and jump in the car? although i dont think they are stopping foot traffic?? ive got one passenger so steve and another could jump in?

Had another word with there admin and told politely to **** off, you cannot blame them it must be a complete nightmare....

Rob ...what happened?...:ermm:
 
Hi S3Dave, thats really good of you,it would be just me as the girlfriend is at work till 4pm sadly, what time are you planning on getting there and where would we meet up ? i see there is a morrisons close by if thats good for you ,i can leave car there.....
 
Guys just a quick one...

I'm really sorry - had a hellish busy few days at the beginning of the week and am now marshalling a family situation (don't like using terminology like that on this of all threads, but...) which means I've not been here/able to chase-up after ASN's registering.

Sincerely hope it goes as well as can be expected, and most sincere apologies again.

How many of you actually went to this? I attended this meet but not through ASN as i was already meeting a few local friends and some old faces that are now on scoobynet.

I must say, the day was very very well organised and marshalled imo so well done to the guys on scoobynet. I was talking to the bloke that owned the R8 above, whom was just about to set off home before Connor's dad told him that his car had been chosen by Connor himself as 1st place 'best car' at the meet.

All in all, great day and was nice to be a part of 'last wishes' for Connor!

Off the top of my head - I think 4 or 5 of us - although I didn't actually meet with the other members.
My car is the silver avant in the last picture;
