Some of you may be aware that every summer Poole Tourism runs an event for classic & sports cars called Quay for my Car. They close Poole Quay down in the late afternoon & evening for an exhibition of specific types or marques.

I noticed that there is no specific event for TVRs or British classics later than the 80's so emailed Poole Tourism.

The kind lady has asked me to get an idea of interest, and will certainly consider a TVR night, although they need to be sure that 50+ cars are likely to attend.

I've asked which dates may be potentials, but in the meantime, if each of you could reply to this topic to give an indication (date dependant) if you would attend? Once I have the specific date(s), I can come back and get firmer numbers.

I've been to the open top night, really good vibe.

Count me in Mike, reckon I can muster 3 or 4 others too

Are you sure it was a Wednesday?
I always go down there on a Tuesday for bike night - there's usually quite a lot of the chaps around then.

Ummmm.... why not? Either a stupid Sagaris or an insane Tamora...

Closest reasonably priced hotel is the Holiday Inn Express, by Seldown Bridge, about 1/2mile from the quay or an easy 10min walk. Car Park is not directly beside any specific "track" frequented by night-low-life, so should be low risk of any vandalism, although being nearer the town centre there is always a slim chance.

There is also a Premier Inn at Holes Bay. About 1 mile away. Again cheap, large car park, quite some way off the night-life "track", so pretty low risk of any vandalism etc.

The QuarterDeck hotel is also reasonable, but a bit more than the above two places. Next to Poole Park about 1m from the quay.

There are a few inns & B&Bs on and around the quay, but none that I know of have offroad parking due to the nature of the old town. Best stick to those above.

If camping is your preference, then there are a few options but further afield. Rockley Park in Hamworthy may allow camping (not certain), but failing that there are campsites about 3-5 miles away near Lytchett Minster. I believe South Lytchett Manor Caravan & Camping Park has a good reputation.

I should have my Cerb here by then, so I'm in!

I might even be able to persuade a few others to make the trip down.
