Waddington and Fairford are the big events that normally have a static car show, and in the build up to Fairford last year an attempt was made on the UK land speed record by the Primetime jet dragsters. Colin Fallows failed to improve on his record in the Vampire dragster (the one that became famous) and Mark Newby failed to back up a 339mph pass due to a tyre problem from memory.

The other big Bank Holiday airshow is at Dunsfold (think Top Gear track) which is a Wings and Wheels event. Most of the other big airshows are coastal events.

8th Abingdon Air & Country Show

Abingdon yes, May 6th no.

Anyone going to have a go at Santa Pod for the publicity. Mr 59 - it's on your doorstep I believe, and didn't you say that you have the road course bits and settings?

They need some more public names involved in the PR. Shane Lynch has almost been forgotten, they need to get someone new(er) like McFly or Kaiser Chiefs interested!!

Time for some string pulling...

we are pencilled in to do late may bank hol at Abingdon and Kinloss August bank hol, the Shows will be announced in the next few weeks with the cars possibly being needed for a launch in Horseguards Parade.

Kinloss! :eek: that's in Outer Mongolia and the sun never sets in the summer. Has air transport been organised? Scotland's forgotten where it is it's that far north. Three years of purgatory tells me it was. :D

Will that be ALL the cars? Eeeeek

As for Abingdon, I may well be at both then... with my connections to the beneficiary of the former event.

Will the £5m reforming of Boyzone and the suggested 30 date summer tour affect Mr Lynch's programme?

eh???

not plans according to that, article dated 14th february 2007 (3 days ago)

"no names on papers"

Could well have changed 16th February 2007 according to what I heard on the radio last night.

it was reported on metro.co.uk back in december that the band had signed up for a tour in 07. then in the 14th feb quote gately says he can't see them getting back together and there's no names on papers.

there was also talk of the tour being in the winter with tickets going on sale late feb early march.

who do you believe? when the tickets go on sale is probably when i'll take it more seriously.
