Actually, I was surprised when I first saw the box, as the word "reducing" is at 90 degree angle to the rest of the scrip and I couldn't read it. To me it read: "lean mean fat grilling machine and I wondered who would want to eat grilled fat? Then I remembered: Mmmmmm....... Grilled fat! ;D Note to Nordic and Gibberish. The shop was TJs in Crawley Martletts. They've got excellent big gazebos with sides at £50 and those excellent fold down carryable camping chairs at £7. Mmmmm.... More grilled fat.

Thanks Andy. got the chairs, and already got a Gazebo. :) Title: Re:Useful idea for LM Post by: jpchenet on February 23, 2004, 04:29:18 pm Andy, what colour and size are the "big" gaxebos?? Do they come with sidea all round?? May need to add to our "Village" for this year! :) :)
Title: Re:Useful idea for LM Post by: Andy Zarse on February 23, 2004, 06:30:37 pm Yeah, pretty sure there's sides all the way around, although a couple I think were like netting stuff. They're green and a funky hexagonal shape, although it would end up rhombus shape if our lot were to put it up pissed. :(
Title: Re:Useful idea for LM Post by: Steve Pyro on February 23, 2004, 09:40:21 pm We had a big white 10 m x 3 m gazebo at LM last year - did us fine (and acted as garaging for the Cadillac - see picture)
HOWEVER one of our masses used it at his wifes birthday bash and it got a 'bit' knackered with the wind. So does anyone know of a good shop selling 10 m x 3 m gazebos?

Title: Re:Useful idea for LM Post by: jpchenet on February 24, 2004, 01:34:14 am Thanks for that Smokie
We paid that last year from Reading Makro for a white one and it has done us proud at a couple of outings. One of our guys who can't make it this year had a green and white one too so it made a great banquiting hall putting them together. May need to venture over with the missus' people carrier and geta couple more for this year. As an aside, a small 3m x 3m one that we took on a family camping holiday once was invaluable when it rained and we put our nephew's pup tent under it!! Title: Re:Useful idea for LM Post by: Canada Phil on February 24, 2004, 04:49:34 am Hi Smokie, Go on then tell them about the white one you and I rented for $10 and hour then :'(

... hold on a few days I'll give you the price. SO it'll give you a few more available space in your car/trailer for extra beer/girlc ;) Title: Re:Useful idea for LM Post by: Ruptured Duck Motorsport on February 24, 2004, 02:19:37 pm Sounds like a great idea!!! I would be interested too Gilles.
Title: Re:Useful idea for LM Post by: Robbo SPS on February 24, 2004, 03:48:36 pm we bought a new one for this year to go with the new trailer. Its £50 from Argos , and bloody heavy , really heavy and big even when bagged up , but has sides and comes in a nice shade or Blue.

Title: Re:Useful idea for LM Post by: smokie on February 24, 2004, 06:07:39 pm Quote comes in a nice shade or Blue. What's wrong with blue then? Canada Phil splahed out his hard earned on a $10 3m sq one at Sebring last year, to give us some shade from the burning sun. This would probabl;y have been late Friday afternoon. We got it back and erected it - magnificent. About 90 minutes later the mother of all storms hit Sebring. For over an hour (or was it two?) there were four of us standing under this gazebo, holding each corner tightly so it didn't take off and damage nearby vehicles etc. I have never seen such rain for such a long time. You couldn't afford to let go for a second as it would have been whipped out of your hand. Pidge said it was the edge of a typhoon or something... Suffice to say, it was useless once the rains subsided. I was surprised that Phil thought it worthwhile to bother taking home the poles which hadn't got bent... Oh, and earlier that afternoon I'd bought an official Mobil1 Sebring shirt, something over £20 IIRC. Next day the stall was having a Storm Damage sale, and I could have had 2 for the price of 1... Title: Re:Useful idea for LM Post by: Dave H on February 24, 2004, 06:15:55 pm Yes, I remember arriving at the disaster site on Saturday morning. You guys looked like you had been defending the Khe Sanh airbase in Vietnam.
