Dunsfold Aug bank holiday

[JamesMK]

Anyone going to Wings & Wheels next weekend?

[Mrs_T]

Yes! Loads of TVR's going to be there on the Sunday and a few on the Saturday. There are five or six going down the runway too across the weekend so fingers crossed for dry weather. Do come and say Hi!

[JamesMK]

Excellent! I'll come over and say hello.

Runway booked for Sunday, loudish exhaust booked, childish grin booked.

Can't wait.

Karen - can you remember who has kindly looked after my foldup chair/s from last year?

Thanks, Paul (LPG Black Griff)

Same here if I can get some fuel back to the engine (fuel pump failed!) new pump fitted just need to coax the fuel back through the pipes (I HOPE!).

Either way I'll be on the runway in a Blue Jaguar XJ Sport as well, which if the TVR is behaving my friend will drive to Dunsfold for me.

Looking forward to it, this will be my 3rd year in the Motoring Demonstration. Always good fun and the Brooklands guys take great care of us all.

I guess I'll be the slowest 'ratpac' Griff now then.... LOL

Hi Paul, I will see if I can find that chair and blanket for you. Have a good journey!

To everyone who is attending...We are running the usual buffet at the TVR stand so if you'd like to bring a dish or some munchies to add to the feast they please do. Every little helps!

I already have plates, cups, cutlery, serviettes, etc so all you need is yourself and a comfy chair in between runway runs.

Good news Wedgeinald II lives again so should be all systems go for Sunday at Dunsfold....

Looking forward to it!

[pjac67]

Great day and nice to meet everyone!!

Roll on next year.... Paul.

Was nice despite the slightly moist start, was happy with the performance of the Jag and the TVR on the runway.

It's amazing how slow 100ish mph feels when you're on such a wide bit of Tarmac! I kept thinking how sluggish both cars felt, but the GPS logger says it was not so bad...others were definitely quicker.

Was really nice to see the Surrey TVRCC guys as always.

Possibly a silly question....did anyone manage to take a pic of my Red Wedge on the runway this year?

I have pics for the last 2 years, but not for this year.

My Sister was hoping to get a picture of my Mum in a crash helmet and I forgot to take one!
