I think you may find that Hillbilly paid too.

AND, I'm pretty sure I saw Owelly pay. (he put some foreign coins in that little box near the gate)


I think they may have been complaining about that old bloke that was making all that groaning noise. You know the one, any would have thought he'd being slung off the back of a pikey wagon!

I wonder if HBR got a 'snotagram' too? Good job we didn't try to claim our £3.60 back in the morning!! :lol:

I am going to remain calm and write a very mature and concise reply to their very questionable decision to deny us further access to the park. I was thinking of something along the lines of - " It was sh1t anyway!!"

BTW - I think you'll find that Ian 'Colt Seavers' Pickup was tucked up early with a mild concusion and a fractured Margarita.

I did indeed pay but no snotty letter yet! But to be fair it does take a while for the post to get to this far flung corner so we'll see what monday & tuesday brings.
I thought everthing about the place from the website when I first looked at it to when we got into the place told me they dont look for our kind, but it seemed to fit with our plans well enough so I did'nt really think too much about it.

Difficult to do a bunk when you've pre-paid! But we did get the £3.60 extra entry fee knocked off when we paid so we did'nt have to pay on top.

I wouldnt worry too much. I think we need to put a bit more effort into getting santa pod to let us stay the night before next year.

Practical Performance Car (PPC) magazine, a monthly publication aimed at real car enthusiasts, with real-world cars. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
