There's always a lowest common denominator. :Whatever
This is akin to stealing flowers from a grave. There's some lowlifes around. I left all my bits on the car seat (sat nav plus a couple of bits) thinking nobody would stoop to stealing at an event like this. Seems I was wrong.

 

Sorry to hear about your car
I deleted my last post because I think I got the wrong end of the stick
( I do that often on here if you know me )
Im guessing the thanks for the scratches was aimed at the ***** that nicked the badges , ( not us )
It's just we have been having a few comments about the parking situation

Tony

 

Probably locals, I can't see one of the car community doing it.

 

Deep breath Tony.
You lads did a sterling job.

 

Lol you know me then

 

That is excellent kev think were defo down for marshalling again next year.

As has just been said aswel thanks for your help couldnt of done it without you.

Andy & jordan

 

Sorry to hear of people having a few bits pinched but unfortunatly we cant stop the low lifes of huddersfield turning up and doing things like this i hope it comes back to haunt them.

I personnally made sure id hid everything and this was first time i hadnt left car unlocked at a show due to anybody been able to show up and i did see a few rough looking people around.

We apologise again as im sure all of other marshalls would aswel.

Was good to see a rare French automobile. I was the person parked behind yours in the Silver Clio 182.

 

Hello,

superb car yours, wondered with my girlfriend how much care and time you invest in keeping them in such a good shape. Will bring the pressure washer next year with me

Was stunned to see how many people knew the Avantime.

Didn't see any V6 Clio.

Cheers mate!

 

I will be up for marshalling again, u never know i might have a scooby for next time

 

Not aimed at the marshalls at all, just whoever stole the badges. I would've bought them some for the sake of 3 quid instead of them hacking away at the back of my car. Not a lot can be done about it really, just gutted at the principle of ot really.

 

sorry to hear this fella, they bad scratches or will they t-cut out?

 

You can put me down for helping out next year. Even if its encouraging toneh when things got tough trying to sort things out

 

Great news Kevin, it was great to be there yesterday to support the event, look forward to next year!

 

was going to ask about raffle but saw this as i was reading through.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good job it was for charity thats all im saying, cos i bought alot of tickets.. and would defo be demanding my money back.

 

I should be able to get them out, although I'm now left with cracked/bent badges and the holes where the other ones were.

It's minor damage really and I'm sure I'll be able to get hold of some new badges. Just shows how stupid the culprits are really. If they'd used their screwdriver to open the boot instead, there was £15ks worth of camera equipment sat in there.

I can't stress enough that this wasn't the fault of the organisers. I was parked around the back where there was generally a lot of people circulating all day. My guess is someone took an opportunity when it was quiet later in the day as my back-end was parked towards the trailers.

I was in two-minds whether to even alert people to this, I just hoped somebody might have seen someone do it.

 

Send us details of the car as there were cameras on top of those building towards where the cars were parked, ile contact Fred lawtons myself, that's bloody disgusting, I really hope it's no one from here.

 

PM sent Jamo, appreciate this.

 

Would like to say how much of a brilliant day it was and kudos to all involved.. such an amazing atmosphere from everybody there.. i have yet to add my photos to anywhere as im waiting for them to be uploaded onto a pc from the camera..

There was such beautiful machinery there and all for a great cause, this day will stay with me in memories for a long long time, I certainly had an awesome time and was worth making the effort to come along.

I think we all have to give ourselves a pat on the back for making this day to Connor so special, if this event was to become an annual one i will be sure to be there any means necessary.

Was a treat to see the aventime show up as i have never seen one in the flesh before the event, and i give great respect to the owners to making the trip on this short notice, we were in the little red mazda 323f that was hidden away in the corner in front of your car

Finally a big thanks to the family of Connor and the car community for this very special day and making it happen, i was honored and privileged to be apart of it even in a small way of being there.

 

If this is an annual event Id be up for it no problem and so would others from VVOC Im certain thet would be.

BUT to stop any lowlifes taking bits from cars, it would be better on the airfield as has been previously suggested...

I saw earlier a T-Shirt for the event, where would I get 1 from please...?

 

Next year aaaahhhh! Lol
Nah if it will be annual then if an airfield etc is sourced then there would be no stress involved I belive as the event will have their own marshalls and accessories in place I would of thought, so no stress trying to control numbers etc, then it could go absolutely viral and and no limit to numbers.
I think that black n white photo of Connor could be the main masterpiece for the event logo as its an epic picture thanks to ( rougue I think).
Also them bloody thiefs what a flipping let down, its a disgrace is that, and your right maz it's like stealing flowers from somebody's grave.
What goes around comes around
Regards

 

That picture is ****ing awesome mate and all credit to the photographer...

 

gutted i missed it, maybe next year though

 

Yet my Hubby left his iPhone on the roof of our Scoob in disabled parking and we were horrified to realise what we'd done on return to the car n it was still sat there. Luckily some folks were sat around cars in deck chairs in that area so I can only thank their honesty n hope their presence put anyone off taking it.

 

nice to meet jamo yesterday

 

Yeah do, it's a shame you didn't come as I met some of the FC members lol

 

Very well put as you say this wasn't a meet a Car meet for "Us" this was for Connor

Tony

3001 now

 

Im deffo in as per my post here before yours..
Shooter btw matt

 

Awesome day for little Connor and a big slap on the back to all concerned.

 

Hi all, just registered to say a massive thankyou to everyone involved with yesterday, it was an inspirational & heartwarming day, I was honoured to be there.

The marshalling was brilliant, my mrs didn't believe the whole event was organised in around 10 days, some of the cars were spectacular (I spent most of the day going round all the car parks and there were some hidden gems, including a rear-engined clio).

Zippy, you sir are an inspiration, I couldn't imagine being in your position, but you can be proud, very proud, as can all involved. Conner looked to have a great day, always smiling!

Well thank you ScoobyNet and everyone who came yesterday, had a chat to many petrolheads (the vxr8 being one of my favourites, even had a quick chat with the owner who was also a marshall), we had a superb day and definatly will attend if Connors Day 2013 gets the go-ahead!

I'll put my pictures in an album on photobucket and give you the link, you are welcome to use any of them! I didn't get any of Connor as the crouds around him were solid, but when I saw the black and while picture from rogue as I grown man I am not ashamed to admit it nearly broke me.

Thank you all, very humbled today.
