Harewood House 13th September

rgf · Post by **rgf** » Mon 06 Jul, 2009 19:45

Is anyone planning to go to the Cars in the Park event at Harewood House near Leeds on September 13th??

See www.harewood.org or www.carsinthepark.org.uk

At the event last year there were 297 cars in attendance apparently. Admission is £6 for car and driver, or £7 for car plus two. You need to register and book in advance online.

As a relative newbie who has just enjoyed his first meet at Sledmere I am keen to go to this.

I am gradually mastering the addition of pics (thanks to Titan for his help). Here are a couple of my motor.

Yes - we've bought our ticket already

Newby Hall was a good day even if it had decided to threaten rain before the "official" photographer got round to the Zs
No doubt ZC will be up for a Sunday rendezvous at his favourite Costa Packet Coffee Shoppee

Any more takers?

Is in my diary but will have to confirm nearer to time as we usually go abroad mid September

but at least I won't have a barbie planned

Of course

' - always assuming that I can get permission for two weekends on the trot as IIRC its Tatton on the 6th Sep.

Must put a reminder on the notice board to book the ticket - just got back from picking nephew & niece up from the airport - off to Edinburgh tomorrow for a few days followed by a weekend at Centre Parcs. Unfortunately too many people and too much luggage to use the Zeds

Why not take Hers to one and Yours to the other?
Then it becomes a weekend each, honours even

Yep got my ticket booked way back, looking forward for meet before hand again over coffee.

I've booked and paid but not received any confirmation or ticket. Has anyone else ?

Booked mine tonight - got the email from Chris that the ticket was ready for printing - accessed it only to find that the bl$$dy printer has given up the ghost

Own fault as I've been meaning to get a new one for weeks.

rgf: you should get an email that contains a link to your ticket; or you can just log in to Cars in the Park and view your ticket - there should be a "print" icon to the right and this allows you to print your ticket.

Now where are we meeting up this time - Ferrybridge or Wetherby - wouldn't want Titan to have to travel too far.

Ferrybridge isn't TOO far in the WRONG direction for us, but it dies seem a shame to drive PAST Costa Wetherby Coffee without stopping and waiting there

Might as well consume caffeine and conserve fuel simultaneously

Who knows ZC - your favourite waitress might mistake one silver Z for another one and have our order waiting

rgf · Post by **rgf** » Thu 16 Jul, 2009 07:15

Meet up at Wetherby would be fine for us also.

I've found my tickets on the website now - thanks ZC.

See you all in September.

Wetherby it is then - I'll just have to get a small Costa from Ferrybridge to keep me going - more points on the Costa card

Would be very interesting if my favourite Costa lady mistakes your silver Z3 for mine as she works at the Costa on Platform 1 at Darlington Station - I know that a Z3 runs like "its on rails" but didn't know that you had new wheels

I have exchanged emails with the organiser to find out times for the show.
A newsletter will be posted on www.carsinthepark.org.uk shortly but he thinks it will be a 10am opening.

That sounds like a 9.15am meet up for a coffee at Wetherby to me.

Jonttt · Post by **Jonttt** » Mon 03 Aug, 2009 08:27

This was a great event earlier in the year, lots of Z's really friendly and well organised at a great venue.

This one looks even bigger

details here:

http://www.carsinthepark.org.uk/

I have my ticket (only £6 for car and 2 people, about to go up a little but still a bargain!)

So come on you zedder's lets make it another great event, I'm sure we can meet up early again for a coffee and cruise in

Nb when getting your ticket the BMW M / Roadster group is already set up

aceman · Post by **aceman** » Mon 03 Aug, 2009 08:46

You beat me to it this time

Just a note that I set up our own zroadster.net group last time so you should all be able to register under that group and enable us to all park in a group.

Titan · Post by **Titan** » Mon 03 Aug, 2009 08:59

Jonttt/aceman
There is already link to this on the front page and a substantial thread following - see here

Jonttt · Post by **Jonttt** » Mon 03 Aug, 2009 12:17

Damn I thought I was being dead efficient, ah well the more publicity the better

Aceman, when I was ordering I looked for the Zroadster group we used last time but could only find "BMW M / Roadster" so I assumed they must have combined the group. Maybe I missed it (I was being pestered at work whilst trying to do important stuff like order my tickets

)

If someone else could confirm (on the original thread), don't want to cause any ruckshions (is that a word?)

Titan · Post by **Titan** » Mon 03 Aug, 2009 14:36

CITP Info (for jonttt et al)
When buying tickets the option is for BMW M / Roadster.
When deciding on groups there is a ZRoadster.net to choose.
Methinks that enables you to enter you car into other groups should you so wish

Jonttt · Post by **Jonttt** » Mon 03 Aug, 2009 19:42

Titan, I'm in my own group just need to find a tree

Looking forward to this one, just need to figure out how to get the barbecue in

I ordered under BMW M / Roadster, can't remember another option but I'm sure we'll be able to park together especially if we arrive "on mass" again

aceman · Post by **aceman** » Tue 04 Aug, 2009 19:07

I haven't actualy oredered my ticket yet but if you check on groups we are at the bottom of the list so I presume it is available when you order. At the end of the day it doesn't really matter it just gives Chris and everybody else numbers of types of cars attending.

aceman · Post by **aceman** » Tue 04 Aug, 2009 19:14

Hopefully this should be a good turnout this year as apart from myself there was only one other Z at Harewood CITP last year. It is a very good backdrop as you get to park on the lawns directly in front of the house, here's hoping for good weather.

It's looking good aceman and the weather can't be much worse than July

You can even escort ZC to Wetherby Costa as a start for the convoy to Harewood

I see on www.carsinthepark.org.uk that gates open at 9.30am.
That seems a little early to me for a Sunday morning.
If we wanted to get there for about 10, how about a 9.15 meet at Wetherby service so that Zed Carer has time for a Costa, then tootle along together from there?
Few weeks away yet I know but no doubt people are coming and going on holidays between now and hen.

Titan · Post by **Titan** » Mon 10 Aug, 2009 20:03

As one of the soon-to-be-holidaymakers, I've got no strong opinion in the matter.
Wetherby is only about 35 mins for us so quite happy to go with the majority

I'm OK with 09:15 as that will give me time to wash, polish and wax before leaving and have the all day breakfast before the rest arrive for coffee.

9.15 suits me as I have an hours drive to get there

Hi,

Just got tickets for this event, which will be my first (only had my Z3 a few days).
Would it be OK if I meet up with you guys in Wetherby.

Cheers

Hi and welcome to the forum

Of course you can come along and meet up

Look forward to seeing you there
Keep an eye on the thread for final timings etc

Titan, better get some extra silver paint ordered, we are definately going to be out numbered this time

I could perhaps bribe my son into coming down from Edinburgh with the prospect of driving the Z3 and book another ticket and bring both the silver Zed's to help keep the numbers up.

Welcome Gio!
Congrats on getting the Z3, I am sure you will love it.
Hope you can join us at Wetherby for the Harewood event, it should be a good day out.

You will find the forum very useful. You just need a droll sense of humour and thick skin - not naming names but some fellow Yorkshiremen can be quite mischievous. I hope your car is silver (long story)

Gio's Z3 is not silver but Blue so I think that he'll be OK - my Silver Z3 has a blue interior - not sure how a Blue car would look with a Silver interior - oh dear will the mischievous Yorkshireman see that as a challenge.

Thanks for the welcome.
Look forward to meeting you next month, and I apologise in advance for all the stupid questions I will ask on this forum, as I know sod all about cars.

Don't worry it never bothered Titan

Seriously its what this forum is all about, passing on knowledge gained over the past 10 years by members on here.

Try using the search function though as most questions have been answered before. Its not the easiest thing to use but try using multiple words with the word AND to narrow down your searches eg rear AND screen

Titan... if you want a sunny day ordering for this one you'll have to do it yourself... I've used all my credits up.

But... don't you dare steal mine from Europe !!! or it will be the war of the zedsters

Titan, won't get wet, he'll be under a tree

(don't ask him why its embarrassing)

shoegazer · Post by **shoegazer** » Thu 13 Aug, 2009 12:04

sunny day would be nice please, whoever sorts it out.

Does anyone know if they allow BBQs on the field, I'm guessing probably not due to damage to the grass or even to the plastic cars!

Don't want to eat any BBQ food, just looking for a way of producing some smoke to hide some of Zelda'a imperfections
