***Cars at the Mill*** Sunday 30th April 2017

[Paul RS]

I will make sure your visa is declined lol

 

[Loggie]

I'd be interested if this is the kind of thing you are looking for

 

[jayme]

So we have been working away at getting sponsor for the show, More sponsors mean we can pump a bit of money into it in order to put on a top show and donate a healthy amount to KBR

Our newest sponsor is Ag Automotive, located in Portstewart he has to be up with the best paint/body shops about.

I believe he has painted a few very well known cars on this forum and Colin's Caddy, and I can personally say the end results are flawless.

Here is a link to his website

Car body workshop repairs - AG Automotive Portstewart, NI

We also have details of another big sponsor that RMS will know extremely well in the following days and details of a FB competition.

Thanks for the support
Jayme

Yes certainly, im sure they will fit in very nicely.

Keep an eye out over the weekend for the entry details. We are doing pre registration for the event because it allows us to plan and make best use of the venue.

Cheers for sharing

We haven't updated our latest and final sponsors this week so here it goes.

The first are Macmillan Porsche, they have made a name for themselves as Ireland's leading Porsche specialist based in Antrim. They carry out everything from services to Motorsport preparation. They have also promised to bring along something special on the day, we cant wait to see what it is.

McMillan Porsche Ltd.

Next up is RMS favourite Pete from Pmg Auto care. Most people will know the quality of his work and the customer service he offers. For those who dont know , Pmg are right up there as one of the best locally in the detailing business, If you want to get you pride enjoy looking spotless and defect free he should be first on your list to call.

Next on the agenda this week is to release our flyer that we will be using to promote the show,currently it is at the printers getting printed.

We feel that things are really starting to kick of and with the support and wide diversity of motors people have been showing us this really has the potential to be a great show providing people continue to get behind it.

So far our pic has been an absolutely stunning 1975 HPF Firenza which we are lead to believe is 1 of 204 examples ever built, the owner has told us he will be bringing it along on the day. There is a lot to see in such a small country and we really want to throw an event where everyone is welcome and encouraged to turn up.

Thanks
Jayme and Colin

Can you just arrive up. Don't think my Cupra is a show car lol

 

[jayme]

We wont be doing the just arrive thing unless we have room left over, if you want to come your more than welcome, just send in an application. Only way we will turn around and say no is if we are well over subscribed.

 

[Brennan]

I was going to bring the bm but from reading the thread you guys are looking for something a little more specialised than my repmobile, so I'll wish you all the best and say, I'm out lol

 

[COLIN BURNSIDE]

I've read back the thread myself and I struggle to see your point. Especially the post where I said it is a charity show and everyone is welcome.

Jayme had asked for people with interesting cars to help with promotion of the show which I feel is fair enough.

I had told jayme to ignore your post @Brennan but when I read it i felt I needed to address it. We have had over 60 applicants already. Some concourse, some not...
amongst entrants we have had porsches, novas, a maclaren, an i8, firenzas, volkswagens, audis. Warren Mercer has entered his gtr and Mark King who I believe is a member on here.

We are going to have an amazing range of cars at this show. Something which jayme and myself said we wanted from the off. A show for car enthusiasts. And the way it is shaping if you're a car man you should want to be at it...not running it down publicly before the day has even taken place. It has the makings of a very popular show in its lovely unusual venue.

I apologise if I have come across a bit heavy here but the amount of man hours we have put into this show already is collosol. We want to raise a nice some of money to hand over to the KBRT. A charity very close to my own heart.

So if anyone wants to enter a car...please do..you will be most welcome.

 

[Terry]

I could be wrong but I think Brennan was moreso having a poke at himself and that he felt his car might not be worthy, it's kind of praising the content of the show.

I haven't heard anything negative when listening to people discussing it and I think the application process beforehand is a good idea and hopefully makes it easier to plan the logistics and display. It'll probably be the first show I'll participate in this year

I think you've picked me up wrong bud, it wasn't a complaint or running the show down at all, it was just an observation from me, I'm not angry, i just didn't read the information on the show properly. I understand it's a more specialist performance petrols show and there's nothing wrong with that.

 

[Brennan]

This is exactly what I meant mate, my offering is much more mainstream than what the guys are looking for.

 

[Jordy]

Should be at this in the M3 all being well with the ni-bmw chaps...

 

[jayme]

Few entries in from RMS I recognize, keep them coming folks and cheers for the support folks.

 

[jayme]

Entries have been coming in daily, some really interesting vehicles will be on show making it hard for us to pick what we will be offering an indoor spot to.

Entries can be submitted at the following address entries@carsatthemill.co.uk

Currently working on an automated response explaining more details and that all entries will be replied to on the 1st April.
