Paul Walker Tribute Event - Saturday 18th January 2014
Thought I'd start a thread for those intending on going to this. Have a read on the Facebook page.
Over 3,000 cars are going with many car clubs represented. Location to be confirmed shortly. It was originally going to be around Stevenage area I think although the numbers attending has forced a rethink.
https://www.facebook.com/events/7091972 ... l_activity
For those not on Facebook, from the organisers 'Royston Modified Car Community':
"IM SURE YOU HAVE ALL HEARD OF THE SAD DEATH OF THE LEGEND THAT IS PAUL WALKER ALONGSIDE FORMER RACE CAR DRIVER ROGER RODAS
Im actually really gutted to hear Paul walker has died aka Brian o'conner from the fast and furious films.
he was like a idol to me, the only way I can describe it is how all these royalists must have felt when lady Dianna died.
We have set up this remembrance cruise in his honour as I think it's important because every person in the car scene has probably been influenced by him at some point
Please spread the word and invite everyone you know in the car scene
We will hold 1 min silence followed by a beep of a horn and then everyone is invited to rev there cars / bikes and make a little noise just the way paul walker / brian oconner would have liked
there will have donation buckets on the night and all money aised will be paid through his registered charity r.o.w.w / reach out world wide: http://www.roww.org/
we will also have some paul walker decals for sale on the night and all profits are going to the same cause
i would like this to be something all clubs get involved in including those that dont even always see eye to eye... lifes to short, time to bury those hatchets and show we are all in the car scene for the same thing.... our love for cars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TEAM ICE WILL BE DOWN PLAYING FAST AND FURIOUS MUSIC ALL NIGHT WITH SOME OF THE BEST AUDIO CARS IN THE UK SCENE"
Start time 8pm. Lots of convoys from different areas. If anyone can help with club banners etc. that would be great. MR2OC is on the list of clubs attending.
Edited to remove list for now.

Re: Paul Walker Tribute Cruise
Both me and Laura are thinking about coming to this as neither of us have been to a cruise before and also it only just up the road from me. We might be in one car or in each of our own roadsters.
Current - modified 265bhp PFL MR-S in Gulf Livery
Previous - Rev1 turbo, Rev3 turbo, Rev5, Rev3 V6, PFL Roadster

Re: Paul Walker Tribute Cruise
Thanks Dave, Laura, & Goreden. I'll update this thread when they decide on a venue as I don't think people will put definite names down until we know.

Re: Paul Walker Tribute Cruise
As I said before we can't really make any firm attendance decisions until we know the venue and what's planned. Nobody wants a massive traffic jam! I thought it was a cruise but it seems to be turning into a massive meet. Watching with interest.

Re: Paul Walker Tribute Cruise
That's a given imo. There is some ongoing discussion on the other thread.

update:
Royston-modified Car-community
OK PEEPS A QUICK UPDATE - PLEASE READ
I THINK YOU CAN ALL CLEARLY SEE THAT THIS EVENT IS NOT GOING TO FIT INTO ANY RETAIL PARKS
WE RE CURRENTLY IN TALKS WITH A FEW OF THE BIG AIRFIELDS AND RACE CIRCUITS THAT DO HAVE THE SPACE TO PARK THE AMOUNT OF US WHO WANT TO SHOW OUR RESPECTS TO PAUL
THE THING IS THESE PLACES DONT COME CHEAP IN THE SLIGHTEST AS I'm SURE YOU ARE ALL AWARE AND THEY WANT PAYMENT UPFRONT
I THINK THE BEST WAY FOR US TO BE ABLE TO PULL THIS EVENT OFF IS TO MOVE THE DATE INTO THE FUTURE (JAN / FEB TIME) TO ALLOW US TIME TO ARRANGE THE EVENT CORRECTLY / ARRANGE A DATE WITH THE POSSIBLE VENUES WE ARE IN TALKS WITH AND GET ALL THE PEOPLE WE WANT ON BOARD FROM THE MEDIA ETC
WE WILL HAVE A SET ENTRANCE FEE PER PERSON TO COVER THE COST OF THE HIRING OF THE VENUE.... THIS WOULD COVER YOU TO GET INTO THE EVENT AND IF WE MANAGE TO RAISE MORE THAN NEEDED TO COVER VENUE COSTS THEN OBVIOUSLY THIS WOULD BE DONATED BACK INTO PAULS REACH OUT WORLD WIDE CHARITY AS WE ARE NOT DOING THIS TO MAKE ANY FINANCIAL GAIN ATAL, THIS WHOLE EVENT IS ABOUT THE EFFECT PAUL AND HIS THE WAY HIS DEATH HAS AFFECTED THE UK CAR SCENE
THE WAY IT WOULD WORK IS ON A WRISTBAND BASIS, YOU BUY YOUR WRISTBAND THROUGH PAYPAL AND WE SEND IT TO YOU, ITS A PRETTY SIMPLE WAY FOR THIS EVENT TO WORK AND BE THE BIGGEST TRIBUTE TO PAUL FROM THE UK CAR SCENE
WITH THE CORRECT PLANNING THIS COULD TURN INTO A GREAT EVENT IN A GREAT LOCATION
TICKET PRICES WILL BE £4 PER PERSON
3 SIMPLE STEPS TO GET YOUR WRISTBAND
1: BUY YOUR WRISTBAND BY PAYPAL VIA THIS EMAIL ADDRESS: [url=http://www.mr2roc.org/phpBB3/mailto:pau ... 0gmail.com]paul.walker.tribute.uk@gmail.com (this has been set up just for these wristbands and is not used for any other purpose)
2: LEAVE A NOTE ON THERE WITH YOUR FULL POSTAL ADDRESS SO WE KNOW IT MATCHES YOUR PAYPAL ADDRESS
3: WAIT FOR YOUR WRISTBAND TO BE DELIVERED AND WE WILL SEE YOU ON THE DAY
for those of you that will comment saying that your not sure if to buy your wrist band yet as we havnt got a set location yet just think about it this way..... wherever it is in the country it will be worth the drive to be a part of the uk's biggest send of to paul walker, i myself am willing to travel to wherever we decide to hold the location weather that be 50 miles down the road from me or a 200 mile road trip and i would hope your all willing to do the same

Re: Paul Walker Tribute Cruise
Agreed. Even if you don't end up going wherever & whenever it is you've only donated £4.ShrewdPhoenix wrote:This looks like a much more sensible way of doing things
