I'm really looking forward to a few of these this year, I think I can legitimately attend three of them!

[shantybeater]

Will probably attend July 4th, especially now the classic/supercar day has been cancelled. I wonder if we can get a decent convoy going?

[SpikeBmth]

We could probably join a convoy for supercars, if you don't mind a non-supercar joining and peeling off into normal parking

Bournemouth meets, Bart?

Do you need to register, or just turn up? I wonder if I can get away with American Muscle, seeing as my British car is American powered now!

You just rock up and, like the old days at Goodwood, the guys on the gate decide whether you're worthy.
There's plenty of parking for those who can't get through the hallowed gates.
Last year we managed to get my mate's Cayman S in for the supercar day. I think it's because we turned up extremely early, the car sounded great coming down the road and they genuinely didn't know how many tasty cars would turn up. It's fair to say that if we'd turned up half an hour later we would never have got in...
I like Wilton, it's nicely laid back and still relatively small.

Much nicer and less busy with the youngsters running about with gopro's etc.

I'll be going to a few of these, hopefully i'll get in to the "Iconic performance cars" one.

Definitely up for a convoy too!

Hmpf. Could be argued I don't fit in any of these.

Sunday 23rd April – ‘Iconic Performance Cars’
When the first question people always ask is: "What is it?" you know your car isn't an icon.

Sunday 4th June – ‘Supercars’
Got the performance (not top speed), just don't have the luxury or the price tag.


Sunday 25th June – ‘Classic Cars – Pre ’87’
Nope.

Sunday 23rd July ‘Roof-Down Rendezvous’
Don't have a roof, so don't have a roof to take down.


Sunday 27th August – ‘Hot Hatchbacks and Performance Estates’
Technically, I think the Skunk would be a saloon rather than a hatch. Although I can reach into the boot with out getting out of the drivers seat. Does that count?

Sunday 24th September – ‘American Muscle’
Well some of my build could be considered a bit 'cowboy', but that's not what they mean is it?


I suppose I could try to squeeze in the supercar and / or the roof down events. Engine in bits at the moment, it was burning oil.

[GloriaGTI]

or you could just park in the visitors car park, like the rest of us mere mortals, Mike?!
