Cars for Lives at Beaulieu Sunday 23rd Nov

[GruFFnuTT]

I would like to invite you all to 'Cars for Lives' a charity event being held at Beaulieu National Motor Museum on Sunday 23rd November.
The event is in support of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance and your attendance will help raise funds to keep this helicopter flying and saving lives.
I probably won't need to explain to you what a vital life line this helicopter can be when things go wrong and I hope that this is an event that everyone would be passionate about coming to, to show our support to these guys.

My aim for the event is to fill the hard standing Event Arena with as many of your amazing cars as possible. It will be our very own little car show and of course you will have access to everything else Beaulieu has to offer, so let's make a day of it.
If you've not visited Beaulieu for a while, the Top Gear exhibition is very good with a lot of their previous 'creations' on display and a live show experience.

I have my own reasons for supporting this charity and I know several other PH'ers who have been helped by them in the past.

I will also be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in February to raise even more funds for them.

I am keen to evolve this event, so if you are able to bring motoring exotica (anyone got a Zonda to put a smile on my face?), display vehicles, trade stands or anything else you think would be 'cool', please get in touch with me.

The admission fee (I have managed to keep slightly cheaper than the usual general admission price) to the day includes a donation to the Air Ambulance Charity, so please come along, socialise and have a really great day!

I'm hoping and praying for a dry day, but please don't let the weather put you off if it's cack... Haha

£20 Adult
£10 Kiddies

Thank you all for your support.

Please share with as many car clubs as you can!? Cheers all

[GruFFnuTT]

Excellent, cheers guys.

I'm hoping that people will turn up for this. I've got visions of being stood on my own in the middle of the arena sobbing in the rain!!! Haha

Damn, 23/11? Gonna be bloody cold in the Rush!! (Possibly very wet too!)

Nah, it's ok... I've picked a mild, sunny, dry day for it!?
Trust me, it'll be fine. Plus there will be hot coffee there to warm you up if you did feel a slight chill!

Where's that 'Best of British Stiff Upper Lip!?'

[GruFFnuTT]

Ok, I'll start...

1. GruFFnuTT - 1971 Mustang Mach 1

Yes, great idea. As already discussed with you, we’d very much like to have a trade stand there, just two or three cars with a small marquee for New Forest Sports Car Hire

Geoff, would you like to bring the Ferrari?

I’ll also invite the TVR Car Club along, we usually put on a good show!

Absolutely, it would be great to have some stands on the day. I'll give Beaulieu a shout and let them know.
And yes please give the TVR lot a shout too. It would be great to have a whole range of different cars for this event. It will make it so much more interesting for people. I'm doing my best with invites to various people, but my contacts and networks are limited, so I'm really relying on all you guys to help me out a bit here
If anyone reading this wants to share this with any other 'car groups', then please spread the word.
Depending on potential numbers, I might see if Beaulieu will let us get away with a Hog Roast cart!? Everyone loves a Hog Roast on a crisp, cold day!?
I'm still open to suggestions for 'stuff' on the day. So please post your ideas up and I'll see what I can do...

Cheers all

GruFFy

P.S. Still no Zonda on the list yet then!?
I'm sure there's one lurking out there that's not afraid of a bit of weather!?

[GruFFnuTT]

Thanks for the 'BOOST' Dave

Yeah, it would be great to see everyone in support with their cars. It doesn't matter what car you've got, just bring it to show your support (and stick yourself on the list so I know there's some interest for this event).
I've been trying really hard to promote this event with my limited contacts and really, only you guys on here can make this a success or not. If you can share with your other forums or Facebook, I'd be very grateful (PistonHeads will tell me off again if I keep bombing forums)

Please help me spread the word in whatever way you can.

Still no Zonda on the list yet then!?
A purple Diablo would be just as cool though...

Thanks guys

[GruFFnuTT]

^^^^^Please please please bring the Ferrari^^^^^

Right, I have been busy inviting lots of people including The Solent Renegades, Crotch Coolers Classic Cars, V8UK and quite a few others.

Can anybody else help me spread the word PLEASE!!! I've been in the PH Sin Bin twice over this and I think the Mods are getting a bit pd off with me now!?

Still no Zonda on the list? I will however accept a tank!? (always wanted to use this smilie in a post).

Cheers all

[GruFFnuTT]

You're a good man! Cheers Dan

[GruFFnuTT]

A nice new poster for you all in case you've forgotten about this!?



Get it on Facebook and share, share, share!!!

What time does it all kick off and how long's it going to last? I've got a wedding reception on the 22nd, not too far away so might be able to pop down for a few hours. Although I might not be in a fit state to drive if it's too early. So if all is good, consider me in, Supercharged '06 Mustang GT.

Hi'ya,

I'm suggesting a 9am start as Beaulieu have said they will open their restaurant early for bacon sandwiches for those who want to arrive early and have a decent drive before the Sunday Dawdlers come out to play
The actual museum doesn't open until 10am and it closes at 5pm so feel free to come and go as you please. There's really no rush to get here early, so you can enjoy your hangover first and then come and grab a coffee and have a wander about

I know that some of the HSV lot are planning to meet up and cruise down together.

Hopefully see you there, as I'd be keen to see your 'Stang!!!

Sounds like a good cause and if the weather's being nice I'll definitely come along in my two.

That's great! This list is looking good already and I've got a Ferrari and a Lambo (not on PH) who are up for it too.
There was a Zonda at Goodwood on Sunday who I've been in touch with, but he is unable to come

I've also snuck a little post onto the Supercar Forum in the hope of sowing a seed with those guys.

Fingers crossed!?

[GruFFnuTT]

Excellent work chaps... Thank you!

Keep spreading the good word and let's make a boring November Sunday into something pretty cool!?

[GruFFnuTT]

OMG Richie!? When did this happen? Are you ok? You know where I am if you need anything mate...

Jeff

Nice one Jeff,

There's a load of HSV's meeting up early in the New Forest somewhere (check the forum) and will be cruising in together.
Doors open at 09:30am to park up.

Looking forward to seeing you there mate.

Hi Jamie

I would have come to this had I not been having my boys christening the day before.
I have my Dad over from Cyprus too as my young boy is his first grandchild. So I think quite a few drinks will be involved.

Speak to you soon mate.

Ben

Hey Ben,

No worries mate. You made it to Beaulieu in the Summer, so you have a pardon from this little get together
I picked up the 'Stang yesterday after two months of it being away getting an engine rebuild, so at least I'll have a car to bring now!
Hope you made it to The Ring in October time.

Catch up soon...
