[mlawlan69]

[MR_TOAD]

Ian

Not being funny, but couldn't he take him to trax?

I feel it will be far more special to the family if they organise their own for their little man!

[iVTR]

Awsome idea, If I wasn't 4 hours away I would go :y:

Hope they get a good turnout and burn some rubberrrr

[tichy]

Not being funny, but couldn't he take him to trax?

He's taking his son out somewhere else that day so he can't make it. got to be one of the best resons for a car meet, must be devastating

[Ali123]

May well pop up to this, only one junction on the motorway
Very upsetting stuff :(

[MR_TOAD]

This is going to be one big do guys and dolls

Ian

[Jamie]

That's awful. Poor people.

If it wasn't so far I'd attend.

Now off to find something to put me in a better mood before I hit the sack!

[Ali123]

This is going to be one big do guys and dolls

Ian

will you be going mate? could meet up before the meet?:)

[Baz]

I'm sure that place will be filled to the rafters! If I was still in the MW i'd defo make the trip over

[Jay_T87]

This is devastating, if I wasn't on holiday I'd be there! Hope there a massive turn out!

[saxplee]

upsetting as it is, but ill will goo!

[Ali123]

Posted it up on fb, a fair few of us are going!

[Manu]

Shame it's way too far away, otherwise I would get there. I reckon you should double post this thread in the regional section http://www.saxperience.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=40

[tomo1989]

Ill be there definatly only 20 mins away :)

[mattygoulding]

i'll be there

[0rang3peel]

im sure thats posted on pistonheads, and the turn out will be insane.

[dondan]

It's been posted on every forum I visit, I hope it's a big car park :).

[GolfJay]

Shame, I'm working. Nothing cheers a little lad up like Teddy Bear wheels lol

[K17NEY]

So sad, looks like its going to be a massive turnout...

[griff_106]

Devastating story - so sorry to hear of it. If it were closer I'd be there but I don't even have the car at the moment - I lost it for medical reasons.

Hopefully it'll be a lovely day for the little fella though.

[JoeHindle]

If I'm not working I'll do my best to try and make it to this!

[rorz_vts]

Just to let you guys know the location in the first post has changed as the place originally picked only has 125 spaces as opposed to the 2000+ that have said they're now going

[barwell1992]

Think theyd want bikes ? Or if some ones on the scooby forum could they ask , if so I'll get on the bike forums and spread this around

[iVTR]

Been thinking this all day.. if someone could do that it'd be good :p

[Misterk]

Bikes are welcome mate do your stuff

Ian :clapping:

[danny-vts]

if i wasn't on holiday i would have come :(

[knight-22]

Ah poor lad. At least, looking at the cars which are attending, it'll probably be an awesome meet.

[motocrossjord]

Such a shame it's so far away from me....

How ever, i can see it being a Massive turn out, and be great to say i went.

Gunna pop up on the bike, will try get a few other bikers to ride up too.

Feel for father & family.

[saxowebby]

this is probably going to be the biggest car meet ever lol

[rorz_vts]

It's restricted to 1500 people so for anyone going turn up early

[Saxologist]

Disappointed I'm so far away. Truely a tragic thing to bear even think about

[Ross]

Bump - two days until this.

[antB]

Anyone doing a convy from south and going past m6 jun 16-17. Got a few cars coming from Crewe or any convys from north and will meet up them?

[Jungle]

They have asked that only people on scooby forum turn up...

[Randyransford91]

I think it's a bit too late for that now...

[saxova]

It's all over facebook car club forums that scooby.net organized the location - and it's on private land so is invite only.

So anyone who wants to be let onto the land has to sign up to scooby.net and put your name down on the list.

Bullshit if you ask me.. and many car clubs are holding their own meets and sending Connor the pictures.

[Jungle]

The family only want people from scooby forum there, they never asked for it to be all over facebook and the internet, why is that bullshit? It is their son who is dying!

[antB]

He says "anybody and any type of car" or does he say on another page that he only wants Subaru club their?

[saxova]

Apparently this was written by his dad : http://www.interlifedesigns.net/connor/

Quote from site ; 'The entire event is completely free to the public, so come on out to show your support and enjoy a great show! That being said, we greatly appreciate any and all donations which are being dedicated to a charity opened up in Connor's name, with all funds being allocated to supporting children's cancer research and cures.'

Inviting everyone as a open charity event - it's scooby.net who decided anyone attending must be registered on the forum / have the name down. And they can have this power because they got permission to be on the private land - so could be anal and do you for trespassing.

That's all I know / believe.. so easy to see why I think its bullshit when 10s of smaller car clubs with 100s of members have organized a convoy down there - for scooby.net to turn around and say that.

So Just turns everyone away.. as we wouldn't want to be branded as 'party bashing'.

[Ross]

If that's the case, it's ironic then that the webpage for Connor (http://www.interlifedesigns.net/connor/) has an evo as the main banner image, not even a scooby...

[antB]

Only other thing to do is contact the dad. Sign up to the club and send him a private message and see what he says. No harm in that. But can you imagine how many messages he's getting. So gutted for the bloke

[Misterk]

I've messaged the dad and EVERYONE is welcome.

[Ross]

I've messaged the dad and EVERYONE is welcome.

Just post up the reply then please so it's clear :)

[Misterk]

Just messaged him to confirm.. Last contact was a week ago. They've capped the numbers so nothing gets out of hand, so if your not on the list you won't get it.

[Ross]

So NOT everyone is welcome then...

[Misterk]

So NOT everyone is welcome then...

Exactly, seems numbers far exceeded what anyone expected

[Matty16v]

A sad event that I fear will turn sour.

We live in the 21st century, so if you think "names on a list" will stop the dregs of our society turning up and kicking off? I highly doubt it.

They won't be able to Marshall it, I also don't believe for 1 second they will have the man power to.

On the final post on that thread on Scooby moaners club, it says there are 561 people on the list, now does that mean 561 cars? I assume that's what it means.

I'm not trying to be disrespectful, I am voicing a major concern and I think the day will be ruined by your average joyriding cunt.

Edit: I also think this thread is now pointless as they have pretty much limited it to those names on the list or Subaru owners.

[matt_vtr_15a]

there's this attendee roster on that site...

it appears that other car clubs are on it? Look on the right side of the page...

Looks like car clubs have given figures of cars going...

http://www.interlifedesigns.net/connor/attendees.htm


EDIT:

It appears no more vehicles to be part of the 'show' but people may still attend, assuming they park near the location

'We've had an overwhelming response to this event, and currently have a roster of over 1000 vehicles attending Connor's Day 2012! Unfortunately, we're simply out of room to host any more vehicles, but everyone is still encouraged to attend and enjoy looking at all the cars that have made it into the show! '

This is the confusing bit! It states there are no more cars etc... It also states everyone is welcome and it also states you need a ticket to get in?! and must be on the Subaru owners list to get in?

Someone needs to clear it up :y:

[Ali123]

looks like we wont be going then :(

[m4tt274]

so should i attend this or not?
can i park up the road and walk down?

[Liamjrhodes]

looks like we wont be going then :(

May as well go down and see what the crack is not far from you is it? If not and everyone has turned up go somewhere else and have a photoshoot or something :-) i wont be coming anyways as im working and then off out with the mrs

[m4tt274]

im going to turn up i think, its public road etc, i will just park outside and wander in. Im sure all will work out

[Pug-123]

Just got back from this meet, was a brill turnout for the lad! Who else went? Saw a few 106's/Saxo's ect

[rorz_vts]

I booked a shift at work once I heard the fella and lad werent going. Did you get any pics

[Pug-123]
