Rustival
Hi BXers, anyone planning on going to the new Rustival event at Gaydon? I only found out about it a few hours ago, Its on 9th March and is very reasonably priced I think. I'll be along in the GT ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Re: Rustival
A really good and well organised show, the most interesting car park you've ever seen spanning all the available places at the museum with only a few empty spots. About a thousand cars apparently.
We met up with a few BX'ers and got loads of interest in the GT throughout the day, I was going hoarse by the end chatting to visitors and new friends. We found Tom buffing his bumpers and spiffing up his GT spoiler and also has a chat with Bruce in his cross-over Mk2 TRS and later with his other half Will who was a very complimentary to DKK. I was very impressed with the depth of their knowledge on BX's it put mine to shame, but I'm learning to place all the individual components together as I get to know the car. This was demonstrated when Tom noticed a rather large pool of LHM forming under DKK - PANNNNNIIIIIIIIIC
While I was busy rolling in a quickly forming puddle of green stuff frantically wiping the steady dribble away with a snotty tissue in the vain hope it would stop
I was convinced it was coming from the accumulator sphere joint but cooler heads were in the engine bay and quickly diagnosed a leaking pipe on the pressure regulator. Luckily I had packed a full tool kit but only a 12mm spanner was needed to fix the problem. Thanks Tom and Will for your quick thinking and observation skills
We also met up with Kitch who had a couple of bits and pieces for me (thanks Rich), Dave (VEPs new owner) and Chris from the Adventures in Rust YouTube channel (who has a running battle with his C5 estate) and had a quick chat with Philip Chidlow and introduced myself to Vanny, all great characters and very friendly - great to meet you all
I counted nine (I think) BX's and tried to photograph them all but the sun was so strong I couldn't see the screen on my phone so apologies in advance for the crap pics.

Apparently there was also a Saxo engined Hillman Imp there but it was heavily disguised as a C6 but who'd be interested in that![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

And to top it I got 36 to the gallon only dropping below 70mph for roadworks. Not bad I think ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Re: Rustival
Ah-ha the icing on the cake then. Much better than the LHM on the ground.

Re: Rustival
I didn't realise it was DKK that had disgraced itself, I heard it was a BX estate!
Trust it was nothing serious?!

Re: Rustival
T'was DKK and she's very embarrassed - there's always one
: It was just a loose connection on the pressure regulator (I think, I'm still finding my way around things) . Easily sorted with a quick nip with a spanner, the rest of the show was brilliant so too were the journeys there and back. Bernie drove us home and he too was impressed.

Re: Rustival
The first car event of the year for BXProject was Rustival 2024.
A month on, I've finally done a quick write up of the inaugural (and awesome) event. I'm already excited about the next one!

Re: Rustival
I know, I can't wait. Frankly I don't care what the venue is as it will be worth travelling to. My guess is that we will be heading the Great British Car Journey in Derbyshire

Re: Rustival
Is there enough space? I think they would need to restrict entry if it was, there were over 800 cars at Gaydon.
