Newark Toyfairs

[CFBC]

Well guys, ive just looked-up on the internet and there is a toyfair at Newark on Saturday 14th August.....

Has anybody been to this one prior?

[vulcanzeroone]

Ive only been to the Newark toy fair once, and to be honest, I was a little disappointed.. There wasnt as many "Aviation" related stalls as there are at the Lincs Showground event..seemed to be mainly cars and buses. Maybe I picked the wrong day, so dont let me put you off.. :)

[CFBC]

Tend to agree with you Vulcanzerone to be honest. The last time I went about a year ago it was poor.... Only one main AAer and afew bits and piecs here and there..... Mainly trains, buses and cars....

[snafu]

CFBC, my Dad's been and didn't rate it at all - hence I've never bothered to attend

[CFBC]

Thanks Snafu - Taken on-board... Will have a lie-in that day then one feels... Keep her indoors happy..... :mad:

With all the airshows I have ventured into and toyfairs, well...... GULP.

:D Mr. Charley,

I see your faculties are on top form here, well spotted !! Not there myself so interested to hear whether or not I missed anything. Seemingly not !! :)

[Scottuk]

I'm thinking of popping down to this tomorrow..........Anyone else interested in going? Or isn't it worth the hassle of getting out of bed?

Ain't that the trouble with most 'Toyfairs' ?

Generally aimed at the 'Full-On' anoraks !


Last one I went to, they (virtually) ALL fit the stereotype.....

... ... i.e. look like inbreds:wacko: , lacking deodorant (smelly B**tards),
no Girl-friends, or wives (unless they look like a bag of spanners or a Thirteen-pinter at a 'Grab-A-Granny' night:eek:) & a penchant for buying cheap $hit.

Plus they ALL seem to dither around in a day-dream, blocking the Aisles :mad:

No wonder it's mostly all 'Dinky' cars from the '60's & '70's, with Trains proliferating !


Last one I went to, I was in & out like a ferret, having accquired a 'Finnish' Brewster Buffalo & an (extra) Hobbymaster "Showtime-100" F.4

Left for home, 20 mins after arrival

Kinda sums it up

[Scottuk]

Ahh well, I will dig the motorbike out of the garage, go for a ride and pop in to Newark, that way, if it's crap, at least I will have had a "playtime" on the bike.:D

Charley, a challenging puzzle - took a whole minute to figure out (been a slow day in the 'faculties' dept.) :wacko: :D :LOL:

[Scottuk]

Hornchurch had it spot on. Still managed a few additions to the collection.:D

Gawd Almighty; co-incidence !!!!!!!!


I also have an 'L' reg GPz900-R (an Ebony/Charcoal/Bronze A.8)

Chose a real-minter; blagged it privately for £ 1,400 in 2004

Bleedin' Fuel-Tank rotted (underneath) from inside-out:eek:

Found-out in previous April, after pin-hole managed to leak fuel onto the front of one side-panel, turning the 'lug' into chewing-gum

Following year; used chemical-sealant liner, to get it thru it's M.o.T. = but it's gone again, one year later:rolleyes:

Handles & goes well enough, but caning it (red-lining) thru the gears ain't dramatic enough for me...... so I'll start saving by for something more scary !

Also, it ain't as comfortable as folks LIKE to make out (unless you've got the physique of a Gibbon:wacko: )

[Scottuk]

Mine is a "J" reg and I picked it up in 2005. I had a new "N" reg one back in 1996-1998 but had a bad accident on it and it never felt the same after that.
