...who is this AutoAndy C"$t who has taken over our forum whilst we sleep...DON'T WORRY...GET OVER IT.

This one is to ask what events you plan to do in 2014...I want to do a fair few again this your and would like to cos-inside with ma-possy....for me it is Eurotour, isle of White (Cannot recommend enough) and S-club, wherever it may be, and the Chatsworth-Burliegh thing to start the year....

...are you with me!....what are your plans?

[Ragtop]

Oh dear. You are going to be SO embarrassed when you sober up.

But back to the question - Stratford Festival of Motoring (May bank holiday) was great last year, and well worth repeating. Great runs out and fine variety of cars and people. I'm planning on camping at the Cottage of Content again.

...all the Tour de France teams have a long line of support cars....how about a load of S s with topgeartvr bike racks on the back....

Maybe not....we could not drive hat slow...and oils haveco vert and those annoying cyclists...

Ps, the enchiladas at Minnesota airport do a lot to take the pain away...

[Maffe]

Maybe Norway this year for me, thinkin little more "local"
That if I ever can start with maintenance of my s3, the SAAB taking some time, just a "few" parts that was in the way to get the headgasket and cylinder head out...

Stratford Saturday, Duxford Sunday and non of that camping malarkey


As for "hooning" maybe option 1 is more TVR related, but there again perhaps you did mean option 2? Hooning

Edited by phillpot on Monday 9th December 14:39

[glenrobbo]

Oo-er.

I thought it meant doing something with the top off .......

Option 2 How very dare you sir, I'm a married man.
( Although I do confess to enjoy time with my 26-yr old topless model.

Still doesn't explain the derivation of the term?

Hi Guys, Just back from my hols,
Noticed this entry and thought best to update the 2014 wiki, and mention the Festival of Motoring in Stratford is Sunday 4th and Bank Holiday Monday 5th May.
Website advises booking will be available from after Xmas, and it will be similar format to last year, but more vehicles involved.
Book early with your TVR this time I remember the organisers were overcome with how many TVRs were attempting to join in and closed the doors!!
Book Early Campers as Mr Pontins ( Or Mr Butlins ) once said.. .. .. ..

[AutoAndy]

...oh yes, forgot Duxford.... An excellent place to visit.

Plus Burliegh ( the Chatsorth replacement) .... Admittedly not as far, but 2 hour drive each way freezing my b&@"€€ks off is slightly less fun then last years 3 hours, but maybe I will see others from a bit further away than the last 2 miles from the event. ...

Plus..... Things.

Ps, not drunk in the US this, time...... Only marginally happy back in The UK.

did we ought to do one at the Ace Cafe?

[mep12345]

Trying to sort an S Club Airfield day in the south. More to follow later when I have feasibility sorted, but expressions of interest would help. Would be around Wiltshire area and would need to be restricted to pre-booking


ETA: it would be weekend and I would look at lowish cost if it is to occur. Still a pipe dream at moment but so was Cosford when I started on it for s club 2010 and airfield I am aiming at has been used for this type of event before

Weekday or weekend?

Either way put me down as a definate/maybe/quite likely/probable/very interested please

[S2Mike]

I have to say, now the S is nearer to being a tidy example now , I am keen to get out and about more next year so Ace Cafe is very interesting and has been a loose plan that I have toyed with for many years even before I owned anything worth taking. Any days out with some good roads en-route , possibly try to get to Brighton's Madiera Drive for the Speed Trials, either just watch or take part. http://www.brightonandhovemotorclub.co.uk/speedtri... I went along many years ago, and with the "Double Level" promenade there is brilliant spectator vantage points.
Just found a thread on PH, to sign up to Save The Brighton Speed Trials, apparently the local council want to stop this amazing event, feel free to check out the thread and sign the petition if you agree that it should be kept going.

Cosford was great. I'm a definitely maybe quite interested too!
