the day starts at 11am, ends 4pm. £5 entry to raise funds for cancer charities and essex air ambulance

Should we have some Nobs on display ??? I am happy to organise if people can let me know they want to go. Even if we dont display, might be worth meeting up for a blast down the roads en route ??

[Adrian W]

might be rude not to, as it's so local

[jamesrose]

I would be up for this as well.

[sjc]

Yep, quite likely me too.

[Blu3R]

Sounds like fun!

[arabian]

I'll get some more info and let you know whats happening !

[joust]

Would have loved to but down in Dorset with the in-laws (groan)

[sunoco69]

Joust just been reading your chipmunk and car site and you are truley a random person.

[joust]

I'll take that as a complement. Chipmunk was years ago!

I've had an email from Martin Muirhead at Porsche Club GB and he would be "very pleased" to have some Nobles on display as they haven't got any at present - obviously not as common as those 911 things !

He has asked that anybody who can put their car on display, even for a couple of hours, arrives at 10.30/10.45 at the Hackmans Lane entrance.

Should be a good event assuming the weather is kind to us.

Do we want to meet at the airfield or beforehand for a blat and/or a bacon sarnie somewhere ? I'm coming in from Chelmsford, suggestions welcome !

Looks like there is going to be a good turn out for this. They are expecting over 300 cars.

How about meeting somewhere near Hanningfield Resevoir ?

[arabian]

With a couple of long straights and fast country lanes around the reservoir i cant imagine why you might have suggested that location.......

Need to be a bit careful though as the police tend to have their Evo pursuit car patrolling the area on sundays.



what about the layby on the edge off the reservoir just before the entrance to the visitor centre say 10am ??

Mike

[jamesrose]

Sounds good to me. It certainly is a hot spot for the police..the long straight along the back definatley gets well used.

Lets see if we can round up a few more nobs and I'll see you there.

[sjc]

As I'm already in Little Baddow,so maybe I can meet on the way somewhere?

[jamesrose]

No one else fancy coming along to this then ?

Sjc if you want to meet somewhere on route we can meet you on the way.

[Mattt]

I might pop along, but the car is going in for a service this weekend, so will just be in the daily probably - so if I come I'll head down on my own and hide!
