Hi I am have a contact at Dunsfold as they are coming to Beaulieu to sell tockets for wings and wheels also they are allowing us to use the Car covered in toy cars too and supplying the Top Gear Tickets for my Raffle Prize. I am helping to arrange a REV OFF competition too there. Would ask as sure would get space if everyone wanted to end up there. ? http://www.classicshowsuk.co.uk/carshoweventsinfor...

Tvrjas, when do you think you will be planning to narrow down the date/day?
I was't planning to... But from what I see on the list a Sunday in June looks most popular,and the event on 22nd you posted and Shelly commented on looks good to me.As ukdj has kindly stepped forward for the running of it I feel it has nothing to do with what I think anymore.
If ukdj with jamienshelly help if possible,think it can be arranged and favorable for the 22nd June and want to confirm this date we can close this thread and I will open a new chart in the events stating the official date.
I thought we may have more numbers than this so maybe others are just waiting for a confirmed date first before they add their name. But not everyone that comes are on PH and get the news via other methods so many more will take part than what's on the list.
Edited: Sorry just noticed it was ChrisA idea of 22nd June not yours.

Last time the numbers only crept over 50 close to the date. Don't worry, it's a good time of year for an early morning rumble, it will be fine.
Good luck all, go forth with my blessing. Blast any questions my way......having said which, common sense is all you need, trust your judgement.
One plea - don't produce ONLY sat nav directions. Do hand out the written ones in some format, and do check it works by driving it.

Patience people it's all under control (hopefully)
I caught up with Jamie & Shelly the other night and we're working on a few things between us, as soon as we get confirmations on these we'll be able to set the date based on this and general consensus.
We intend to provide maps in both electronic (sat nav/google maps etc) & written formats including visual landmark checks to help identify where you are.
We intend to have a few people spread amongst the pack who KNOW the route, with a large identifier on their vehicle so anyone who is unsure of where they are going can follow them around.
I am running the 1st test of the route over the weekend and after some fine tuning and checking for road/tunnel closures will factor this in with other events happening and try to come up with the final date/route.

Definitely would be up for this as last time I ended up having to work. Can someone please add me to the list!!
Hi.. Have added you but can you give a bit of info please..What is your Car and which Month and Sat/Sun is preference to you?
Thanks Jas
Lee704 said:
Awesome thank you Jas! A 98 Cerbera, either month would be good though I can't do weekend of June 8th as doing a midnight 100k cycle round London.
DonePS ukdj I think you should take note of that day June 8th
Not a good day for any of us with a load of cyclists knocking around...
However midnight should't bother us,guess it depends if it starts midnight Sat?
Edited as just read about it and it does start on the Sat running into Sunday
" If the organisers of Nightrider fulfill their aim they'll raise £2 million in one night. You can help by taking to the streets of London by bike on a moonlit night and riding past some of the city's iconic landmarks while raising money for charity. The 100km route which begins at Crystal Palace or Alexandra Place - you can choose which starting point suits you - is not for beginners but anyone with a reasonable level of fitness and confidence on the road can take part. Cycling past sights like Tower Bridge, St Paul's Cathedral and the London Eye while the city sleeps is one way of putting the 'fun' in fundraising".

TiTT 8 clashed with a cycle run near Battersea Park, IIRC.....TiTT 9 had a fun run in the vacinity of Canary Wharf too, bloody cones in Westferry Circus.
Very tricky to avoid, not sure which websites you have to look at. Clearly catching the end of a big enough event could mean road closures.

I emailed Shelly the routes and .itn files from TiTT8 last night (kindly supplied by MrChips). I caught up with Jamie & Shelly the other night and we're working on a few things between us, as soon as we get confirmations on these we'll be able to set the date based on this and general consensus.

Mr Chips did a lot of work and got caught out by Transport For London. Instructions IIRC were only on TomTom waypoints. That was all I had.
Started at the O2, headed to the Blackball Tunnel at 0630 only to find it shut until 0700. And the next three left turns after the tunnel were all shut by roadworks. Within 15 minutes we had 80 TVRs approaching every junction from every conceivable direction all at the same time.
We eventually mostly got to Westferry Circus by following each other. My young passenger managed to skip the waypoints we couldn't pass due to closures, but it only worked for us because he flicked through the waypoints list reading them out, and I used 30 years of driving in London to get to us to that rendezvous.
After that it was good fun, but I am sure I missed a chunk of route somewhere.
So the written alternative, or a map with the route marked on, is good for when things go wrong or incompetence (or driving it alone) sets in.
Have you still got the routes for 9&10?
Do you want them?
