[Davel]

Looks like a great route.

How long have you planned for the route itself to the UK?

The last time (to Leeds) took 20 hours start to finish.

3 day visit to the UK, just the Sunday at Chatsworth.

Can't believe you're doing it again, that's awesome.
Hope you have a safe and trouble free journey.

Last year the drive back was great and great weather (but not in the UK)!!, used a full tank of fuel in 50 mins in Germany embarrassing a few BMW drivers and Porches!. Had a "dog fight" with a Griff in Holland, had what looked like a proffessional camera crew filming me in Hamburg from the back of a landrover for about 2 miles. Took the long way round over the mountains in Norway avoiding a few dear and a Moose! taking in many tunnels. Tagged onto a Norwegian classic sports car club drive out. Looking forward to the adventure again. Hope the weather is better this year in the UK. Approx 2,500 mile round trip (inc ferry miles)

Clive confirmed my brother is now coming (God help us)

hope the drive out on the saturday is a good one, in all the years I`ve been coming to Chatsworth I`ve never been able to get out on one yet, so determined to be out playing this year.

There are 11 couples (cars) staying over for the week end at The Olde House, Chesterfield (Marstons inn). I have just been informed that there is a 70's/80's disco on the Friday(26th) night, so I guess we will be in attendance. If anyone else wants to meet up you are welcome.

Don't forget your 70s outfits

I was in a club with a speedboat in it a while ago, and a shark's head. Chezvegas is interesting

[Gazzab]

I live near Chesvegas - about 7 miles away I guess. Never actually been there apart from rail station, lamd rover and joolz. So can't really judge

You don't know what you're missing

Sorry, new to Chatsworth.....but will be living near Newark by then, so will be coming on the Sunday.

Three questions:
1. Is there a run to the event from East Mids, and if so, how do I join it?
2. Are there drives around the area on Sunday, or are we just parked up for the entire day?
3. Do I have to have buffed out all the stone chips by 28 April? I will have spent the entire previous weekend belting around RAF Marham on their charity track days, and the car will probably be somewhat pebble dashed I imagine.

I'm hoping to go and I'm 10 mins up the road from you

Good skills and that's what having a car is all about. There are drives and social gatherings if you look around the forum and I assure you you will be made welcome. Rain or shine its a great day out and shine or pebble dashed its a TVR

WHY WHY WHY have I signed up for a 10k run on the same day?? Luckily it's in Derby so it will be a race over to this afterwards....

[tvrtuscans]

Alex will be arriving in ...not an ExigeS.....but a BMW M3 CSL ...number 521 0f 542 right hand drive ones built....ohhh err missus.....very quick indeed....looking forward to the drive out on Saturday

Hi Kevin,

Will be there again this year but unfortunately I'm no closer to owning a TVR. I'll have to make do with a look around and a dream!

Had a quick squint at your profile - your Citroen is a VTR - that will get you in if the marshalls are dyslexic

We all started with a dream, I was one of the lucky ones, as I never thought I'd own anything like what I've had or got.
Hope your dream comes true soon, and don't ever think you will never get one, nobody knows what the future will bring.
