OK folks... some of you knew something like this was possibly in the offing... some of you even signed up for an earlier date. However, Friday 7th September is now the date.

The owner of Dunsfold Aerodrome, a keen ex-GB pistol shot, is kindly allowing us to put on an event there that involves: DRIVING... and... SHOOTING!

Various people, including international shooting coaches, will be giving their time for free in order that the day may raise funds for them and team-mates to compete internationally.

I realise a Friday is imperfect but weekends present problems with the neighbours on noise and might jeopardise Top Gear, as well as being the time that pilots like to use he aerodrome to fly. Hopefully will be a sunny one...

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU'RE KEEN TO COME ALONG. Road legal cars only.

Events and costs should be (select from the menu and let me know what you fancy):

1. Entry and Vmax runs (take it in turns for the whole time it's open) on the 2km runway (own car): £99

2. Clay pigeon shooting: £50

3. Smallbore rifle shooting: £40

4. Driving round the Top Gear track: £10 (not all-out unfortunately); can be videoed for extra cost

5. A look inside the 747 used in the Casino Royale movie: £10

6. Driving Jim's new custom-made Caterham-esque sports car round the TG track: price TBC (car not finished yet but give me an idea what you think you'd pay for that)

7. Passenger ride in Jim's new Caterham-style sports car round the TG track: price TBC (ditto)

8. Passenger ride on Corvette Z06 vMax run: "donations"

9. Jim may also be able to lay on a passenger flight in an aerobatic flight (before lunch!) IF any of you say you want to do it (make a bid!).


PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU'D LIKE TO COME ALONG ON 7TH SEPTEMBER AND WHICH EVENTS YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO!
