Hi,

If you are planning on attending. Can you add you car to the Calendar. This give other people an idea what will be there .

There are also some very good roads in the area . You can go for a razz and come back into the car park as many times as you want. It's £4 for the whole day.

Cheers
Chris

Theres currently 16 Cars going.

We need some Lotus, Aston, Porche, Marcos, Ultima and Noble. A Morgan or two would be nice as well.

The collection of cars so far is looking cool .

[chris_crossley]

Looking forward to see/hear you there.

[chris_crossley]

We have picked up a nice collection of Ferraris and a few lotus's. Maybe, even a lambo. There's a nice pack of TVR's as well. So should make for quite a spectacle.

I'll post more news as i get it.

Cheers

I am going there this weekend to take photos. I will be putting a web site up after sunday. This should then give everyone a detailed idea of how to get there.
I will post the URL when ready as i dont have a domain name yet.

Your right about the car park, it is massive so we should have no problem parking.

The number/type of cars is looking very interesting.

[chris_crossley]

Just added up the cars from PistonHeads and other forums and looks like where about 39 Cars at the moment. Just 3 weeks left to drum up more support.

Still waiting to here back from Porsche, Morgan owners/clubs at the moment.

This is an open event for all sports cars/car fans.
If the weather holds out it will be a nice sunday
afternoon out.

[chris_crossley]

No Prob's, I am planning a few more days this year. So you may be able to make one of them.

Have fun in the old'e smoke.

[chris_crossley]

OK,

The web site is "{URL]http://home.btconnect.com/fourinstance/cars[/URL]" It's the first cut, so it's a bit rought

If you have any photo's worth adding before the event then send them to [e-mail].

Cheers

Thanks, (Janet took them!)

Bolton abbey has offered reserve parking but they need to know how many cars will be there.

Legal stuff and the reserve parking needs to be added to the main site. This will be done to the website tonight.

Cheers
Chris.

There'ss some sand near the river too! So i'm taking my bucket and spade .

[chris_crossley]

The calendar hides a truth.. The total is probably 50+ cars. The bulk of the Ferarri will arive about 12:00, just in time for lunch. The rest will start gethering from 11:00 onwards. We will have reserve parking for as many as on the list. There are about four lotus and even a few Golf's joinging us.

Still to hear back from MG, Morgan and a few others.

Yes ben the masser will be there

Hi Red,

Just bung your name on the calendar. I have another three forums to tot up so it makes my life easyer.

See u there

Cheers

[chris_crossley]

Theres 50 On pistonheads but if you read the commenst some have group booked (Fair enought). so that takes it to about 60, Plus 6 on the lotus, 2 Golf and 1 fiat barchetta. So thats just shy of 70 Cars.

No news from Aston, Morgan or MG, but there's still time.

Anyone else wanting to come please put your name down so i can reserve a place.


I'm getting all excited now, one week to go

hmmm - might try to turn up in the barge to have a letch at all your cars (need to sell this to the wife as a 'picnic' and not mention the cars methinks!)

Whilst your welcome. To allow you to continue you lie picnic story. I assume you don't want to park with the rest of the cars on the meet
or do you want to suprise her on the day?

[chris_crossley]

I'll save you a space Ali_D, i'll be subtle. Unless you have a black eye and by then i figure she's guessed it.

It's reserve parking so it might look a bit obvious if i say hi Ali heres your parking space
