Anyone going to Donny 04 on 17th and 18th April?

Should be a good one. If you go on the Sunday "Dirty Sanchez" will be there.

You can camp at the showground if you like. Just contact Doncaster Race Course and ask them about the camping facilities for the show.

You could try a travel lodge type hotel. I am sure there are some near or in Doncaster itself.

Sorry to be ignorant whats a GT6. One other question if we get enough scooby owners interested why not lets all get together and put our cars into the show as a display of subaru owners from Scoobynet. Maybe we could raise funds for the Scoobynet charity.

Poor Guy, I used to have a UK spec in red with lexus lights, and that was load as ****, but unfortunatly a bloody tree jumped out in front of that one!
I'd be up for showing mine but its just a standard 4 Type R so nothin that special compared to some
Well you could all stop at mine, but as I live up a narrow lane with no neighbours and only room to park 3 cars I wouldnt really recommend it. Have in said that where I live is actually a really good road to practice being Colin on eapecially in the snow like today Not that ive tried it of course

Well on the official show website it mentions that showing cars will cost £25.00 and passengers £30.00. What it doesnt mention is if this price is for both days or just one. It mentiones that the normal entry into the show is £18.00 and included in the car entry everyone gets a autoglym polishing pack worth £20.00. I have emailed the organises to see what the cost would be if we setup a display stand with all the cars in one area together. And collected donations for charity and promoted our Subaru family

Hopefully will have it sorted by middle of next week at the latest as I only just mailed them. Will def keep it in mind about the helicopter and try to get the position right beside the adult channel stand

Might also try to get the hotels arranged and get discounted rates there too.

I would definately be up for this. I have been the last few years with my pug 205 & it's been a real good laugh. Last year we camped & had real good laugh in the bars on the showground at night.

Last year I think it was £25 to show for both days. I can find out though as I know the guy that does the booking for the peugeot club.

Well guys I have had a reply from the organisers of the Doncaster show and they are all full with 500 on the waiting list. Apparently cant even get one car in the show. But this doesnt stop us all meeting up and having a weekend in Doncaster and showing our cars in the car parks and at the cruise on the sat evening. Is everyone still up for it.
