Any trips planned for this year (real or imaginary)?!
Discussion
I suppose it's because of the time of year but a lot of the threads at the moment are about parts / rebuilds / techy stuff etc etc, which is fair enough, but I can't wait for the warmer weather to arrive and get some serious miles on my S!
I have one weekend each year when I go for a play, usually on the other side of the Channel and it's empty, smooth roads
The Road Tip I'm organising this year is with 3 other cars (2 porkers and a merc) plus, unusually for the trips I've done, 5 motorbikes:
Fri 26/6 Home to Assen
Sat 27/6 Watch MotoGP race then 200 mile "sprint" south to Liege for the night
Sun 28/6 Watch GT's, F3 etc at Spa then back to Liege
Mon 29/6 Liege to Nurburgring for 13.00-19.30 public track time
Tues 30/6 Home
I'm already working on next years route to Monaco and back for the Classic F1 meeting via the Millau Bridge and some of the WRC stages....
So, what trips have the rest of you got planned for 2009 in the UK or beyond, or what trips/routes would you like to do given the opportunity.....?

For a few years now me and my mate (who has a mint 3 door sierra cosworth) have talked about a trip to the Nurburgring!! this year we decided was to be the year, me in my S3c and him in his cossie, we were to travel there on a friday,spend all day saturday pounding the Ring then spend all day sunday travelling back home, no wifes or kids just us and our cars and the Ring!!
Unfortunatley he has recently found out his job is under threat so it looks like this year will not be THE YEAR after all, I guess I will have to do SCH and the rutland rumble and anything else I can get to instead.
cheers.....Tony..

Zolder - the continental TVR meet. Sometime in June
...and - hopefully - TVR Tour of Spain & Portugal in March. 
Sounds like some great trips ahead of us this year
Le Mans has always a fav of mine but I try not to go every year - there's always so many other events to go to, but I can't go longer than 2 or 3 years without a visit!
Zolder is also on my "to do" list one of these years.
Roy, that Spanish trip looks amazing! Not cheap though....
Perhaps we could get a group of S's together for a mini euro trip of 3-4 days at some point......
And yes, S Club..... date will be confirmed this week
Apologies for the delay, but I'm waiting for official notification from the venue that it's secured before sharing the details.
Cheers,
Longers

I'm part of the organising team for S Club and as my post at the start of this thread mentions I'll be away and I'd hate to miss the highlight of the TVR calendar!!!!Cheers,

Tony, why don't you come with us? Unfortunatley he has recently found out his job is under threat so it looks like this year will not be THE YEAR after all, I guess I will have to do SCH and the rutland rumble and anything else I can get to instead.

You'll be more than welcome! I originally made the provisional booking for the 18 that were interested but as expected some were unable to commit so there's now 12 confirmed and spaces for 3 more cars / 6 more people if you fancy it. Let me know asap cos I do need to cancel the extra spaces at some point.YHM
