Sure. Just ring the hotel and say you want to stay for a single night. Not really talked with them about it, but don't think it would be an
issue.

I've been asked to clarify the rules for coming to the Topcats event.

You do not need to book the hotel to come to the Topcats event. You can just turn up.

So, just been to the BBWF event last weekend - which would use the same basic format as the 00s event
and it was very enjoyable.

The Wroxhall hotel was great! There were a few minor issues during the weekend, but should be able to
sort those out for our event.

Topcats day out was very enjoyable, even with no traders attending. Given what happen at the Griff Growl,
I think it is only worth bringing a few very focused specialists in, so I've changed tack on that.

If you want a comparison for the BBWF, please see the following vids. They show the hotel, the Topcats event &
what happened. It is a good guide for ours.

Hahaha he's a sly fox but I'm vetoing that one mate. If he makes you one he'lol have to make two! I'm really looking forward to the addition of the MBE etc plus hoping we can tweak the diff enough to see it nudge 200mph (taking into account the factory apparently geared cerbs to 220)??

Hi folks,

Any preferences for what to do on Sunday?

I've spoken to a few people to kick around options and suggestions were...

  • Nothing as people may want to leave early, so just hang around and chat or leave as wanted
  • Do a drive out somewhere around the area and have lunch, then go home
  • Visit either the British Motor Museum or Coventry Car museum
  • Something else - open to ideas
Let me know your thoughts? biggrin

Thanks!

Just to clarify again as I noticed I had not correctly edited the event info...

ANYONE CAN COME TO THE TOPCATS EVENT ON SATURDAY!

It is essentially an open-day!

Hi folks

I've done some mugs to mark the event. The cost is about £6 each for a full varnished covered design on a solid mug. Please let me know if you want one. I have a limited number, but can order more if need to.

Thanks!

Hi Alex, I've just booked in for the Saturday night - can't make it on Friday unfortunately, but I should be able to get to the hotel first thing on Saturday morning (9am) in time for the run-out to Topcats. My Tuscan is in poor health and needs a rebuild in the not-too-distant future, so this seems like the perfect opportunity to meet some other speed six owners and get a few ideas for upgrades to carry out at the same time (engine mounts, heat shielding, ceramic-coating manifolds etc!) cool

Thanks for organising, looking forward to it!

PS I'll take a mug if there's still some going spare smile

Hi folks

Sorry for the late notice, but I need to know if anyone has any dietary requirements ASAP.

Just choosing the menu and I need to get back to Wroxhall by tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks!

Hi folks

Here is the menu. Unfortunately, I need your menu items ASAP (by EOD tomorrow).

Thanks!
