OTHER ACTION

VW ACTION TOILETS AND SHOWERS

We have always prided ourselves on providing a good standard of toilets and showers at our shows, (what? Don't laugh... it is important...).We are therefore once again augmenting the existing Santa Pod provision for your convenience. Extra toilets/showers have been positioned on the spectator side of the venue. That's extra units... toilets and showers SPR doesn't usually have. In particular, there are dedicated units for the family camping area, since it is positioned some distance from the main hub of activities.

VW ACTION INFORMATION CENTRE

Please visit the Information Office to hand in or enquire after lost property, or if you require but cannot immediately locate security staff, medical staff, or marshalls and officials. If you are seeking general information, what is on where/when etc. please read the event programme thoroughly first to see if it has the answer to your question.

JET CAR

Get ready for Martin Hill's Fireforce 3, the mind-blowing 270mph, world's fastest Jet Funny Car, which this year will be joined by Roger Goring's Firestorm Jet Funny Car.

MONSTER TRUCK/GANGSTER CAR CRUSH

Podzilla will be crushing everything in its path on both Saturday and Sunday, to give a few 'tired' saloon cars a fitting end. It is a show absolutely not to be missed. (No VWs will be harmed in the presentation of this spectacle.) For the technophiles, The Podzilla Monster Truck is a Chevrolet CK1500 body, powered by a methanol guzzling supercharged 502 cubic inch (8.2litre) Chevrolet V8 developing 1350 horsepower. He weighs in at around 10,000 pounds.

Podzilla's prey for Sunday is the 'inimitable' (and who would want to?) Chop Shop Gangster Car. The vehicle was purchased last year with the sole intention of removing viable parts and feeding the remainder to Podzilla. In our own personal opinion the car, and the programme which created it, are absolute liabilities with regard to the future of any kind of freedom to modify or customise vehicles. If we believed that the vehicle was in any way representative of the modified car scene, we would ourselves be screaming for a nationwide ban. We feel that is in the interests of all people involved in restoring, modifying, or otherwise privately working on motor vehicles, that the Gangster Car is permanently prevented from ever going near a public road again, and to that end, we have we think, laid on a bit of a treat. At various times through the VW Action weekend, in exchange for a charitable contribution, you will have the opportunity to attack the monstrosity with the blunt instrument of your choice, from the selection available.

On Sunday afternoon, the car will finally be put out of its misery by the one and only Podzilla.

Full details are on the Gangster Car page.
