I'm afraid the drive I was on about has progressed no further, my friend has a new job that sends him to the US a lot and my car currently looks like this. Preparation for the OC track weekend in June.


I'm happy to help plan a Lincolnshire phers blast around for July time. Maybe if we contributed bits of road we like we could string them together into a circuit.

If nobody else volunteers with local knowledge, I am happy to work with you on this.

My only failings are:

1. I live just outside the county
2. I only know a few roads, like the lovely ones around Hornchurch, Louth, Cadwell, and between Newark and Lincoln.

But I have organised runs before, including 70+ TVRs around the tunnels and bridges of Central London, and have been on a few excellently organised runs elsewhere

I'm in Woodhall spa. Well will be shortly.

Roads round Bardney, wragby and horncastle area are fairly good roads.

Have fairly good knowledge of the local roads above.

Why don't we three meet up, sort out a route on paper, drive it and get this thing organised?

The Newark to ollerton road the a616 is nice if you can find a quite time. The wife and I often stop of at a pub in canton beck called the plough inn. Has a nice sized car park, great food and the staff are friendly.

It is great, but watch out for the camera vans, the long straight with a layby half way along, just after the Caunton/Southwell cross roads (heading towards Ollerton) is a camera van site.

It is indeed. WAZE is your friend.

Hi all,

Not long moved to this area from Oundle, so learning the local routs all the time. Do a lot of runs out with Ex Westfield chaps, but they are an hour or so away these days, so looking for local runs out and local road knowledge.

have a proper mx5 as well if that helps at all?

Hi all, I'm from just outside Stamford and in that irritating point where I need a garage but don't have one. Hopefully one if the local farmers will have a corner of a shed I can rent! Then I can build a new race car (just don't tell the wife,)

Just caught up on this thread. Not been on PH much recently as I've been lying under the car getting it all sorted out for Blyton on the 11th. Happy to have a little meet up sometime to start planning a run out.

This weekend I'll see if any of the Mazda boys fancy it, plus a few fellers at work have some daft cars so I can see if they'd be up for it. Be good to have some variety.

Variety is the thing. I'm in several car clubs as I like to support the spares backup and be able to tap into the knowledge of those whose life is that one model. But I'm afraid a one make or even worse a one model rally is rather tedious.

So as the weather seems to be improving I though I would try and resurrect this thread.
Anyone fancy a Lincolnshire meet up?
Anyone fancy taking on the organisation? spin

As I have posted elsewhere, the TVR Car Club have their Spring car show, called BHP, (Burghley Horse Power) at Burghley House, Stamford, Lincs, on Sunday 9th April from about 10am. About 5-600 cars will be there, including examples of nearly all models made from the late 1950s to 2006. Well worth a visit - the TVR crowd are very friendly, and there is often a local food fair going on next to it to entertain the other halves......
