Yep - was great fun last year despite the rain. No grey Europa this year (to match the sky), will be in the Elise.
Cheers, Andy

I'd me more than happy to bring the Tamora along if I'm free. I work two weekends out of four, which is why I couldn't make it last year. The sooner you can get the dates up the more chance I have of booking time off if required. Got to admit I'd love to attend anyway, just to drool over some of the real exotica smile

I need to make sure the date does not clash with the LE Mans and LE Mans Classic plus any other car major events. Would a bank holiday be good this time?

A suggestion was made to hold the event on a Saturday and Sunday over a weekend so owners of the cars and the public have a choice?

I'm up for it if the date doesn't clash.

See if you can find me a dirt track that runs along side the roads you're all using and we'll make proper use of the Escort!

The river path ... it´s wider than the road!

If I´m in the country I´ll come along.

Guys,
Just been checking the major motoring events and FOC calendar so not to clash with events.

I am looking to do the event on a Saturday as the pub gets really busy on the Sunday. The dates I am looking at are Saturday 28th June, Saturday July 19th, Bank Holiday Saturday 23rd August.


Earlier then June and the weather can be unpredictable, Mid June its LE Mans (13-16), Mid July LE Mans Classic (11-14), Start/Mid August people usually on vacation and September weather starts to change again.

Your suggestions would be most welcome !!
If the 19th July would work I could have a F40 to do rides (ex Allen Prost owned car) and a 1970's grand prix car on display!!biggrin

You should be covered by your insurance as your doing the event for charity and not excepting money for business.

There was no problems last year with any of the cars and when doing the rides we advise that you stick to the speed limits and road traffic act

19th July sounds fine for me. And I really want a ride in that F40. So is it special super-cars that are special to begin with?

Ferrari 348 Spider Competizione (1 off)
Ferrari F40 (Ex Alan Prost)
Ferrari F355 Spider (Ex Damon Hill)

This event sounds excellent kenyon - I'll be sure to come along with my wallet bulging, especially as its for charity. A local one I assume?

p.s. check out the 'spotted' thread in Fez/Lam section! wink

Excellent photos and day. Ours will be local at the Jenny Wren Inn with rides offered for public for charity...
