Calling all RS Owners !

[spiritof'76]

Ok all you RS boys & girls out there, who fancies joining us for an RS Show Stand

The venue is Dunsfold Aerodrome (Top Gear track) the date is May 16th and the event is called 'Dads day Out' this is a charity event where Joe public turn up and pay for a ride in a Supercar on the airfield.
Where we fit in is that they have a large area for a static display and want visiting car clubs to show up and put on a display. So if you fancy displaying your pride & joy alongside some of the finest marques known to mankind, here is your opportunity

Some of the other car clubs on the static display are as follows with more to come and in the region of 1000 cars expected :-

911UK
X-bow owners club
Atom owners club
Lamborghini Owners Club
Surrey classic vehicle club
Aston Martin owners club (yet to confirm)
Bentley drivers club
S2000 owners club
RS246
GT Spirit
TVR Owners Club
Jaguar enthusiasts Club
Rolls Royce enthusiasts club
Cobra Owners club
And of course a whole load of Ferrari's.........well, what did you expect

I believe many of those attending won't be regulars at RS shows so help me put on a good display and show our Marque in a good light and see if we can't win over some new fans

This is a prestigous Charitable event in respect of the Childrens Trust and all it's going to cost you to get your car on the display is £7 for the car and that includes all your passengers If you are attending and displaying please notify me by PM but only do this after you have booked using the following link so that i know you are confirmed and i can give the organisers accurate figures..... Thank you

There is a seperate link to book yourself in if you are not displaying a car and it is that same link also to book your Supercar rides........ i would advise booking these asap as they will quite possibly not be available on the day due to popularity The link in question is at the bottom of this post.

Look forward to seeing you on the day


A little more info i have on the event, cut & pasted below plus this thread will be updated on arrival times etc nearer the time :-

If the car wasn't so nice I would. It's literally too good to take blasting across Europe. Low mileage, concours condition, I can't afford to drive it in the rain...

Whats required Standard cars or highly modified. The Fastest RS in the world is available if thats the sort of car you want. Its the 200mph 5th gear Saff & has not been seen in public for nearly 5 years but would be available that day.

Hi Julian! I should be up for this, will check my diary tonight & get the entry booked, then let you know!
Be good to have a convoy over there!

[spiritof'76]

Hope you can make it Gareth

...... convoys are guarenteed

[Gareth350]

Sounds good to me! So just have to pay the £7 to display the car, does that include entry to the event for myself & any passengers? Or do we have to pay entry each to the event? Excluding any rides obviously!

That's right..... £7 gets your car and everybody in it into the event. General public have to pay £7 per head if they are not showing a car on a display stand

[David87]

My Dad has a bog standard Mk2 Focus RS - would that be worthy for the stand if I were to borrow it? Either that or I could maybe display my car on the scrappage scheme stand.
