20th May Norfolk/Suffolk exotic car cruise

[johns355]

Hi guys, I've been organising this for a while now, meet-up at Thetford, drive down for a short break in Bury St.Edmunds, then across to park on south green at Southwold (all fully supported by the town council). It's a charity event so £20 per car to participate which goes direct to charity. While cars are parked at Southwold East Anglian Childrens Hospice will be collecting off the public who'll be circulating around them. I've reserved a dining room in the swan at Southwold for people to have a 2 or 3 course Sunday lunch. Confirmed coming are 6x 355's, 2x 360's, 2x 430's, 1x dino, 2x gallardo's, 1x 911, 1x AMV8, I've got confirmed lunches for 32 people but the restaurant can hold 50 so I want to fill it up! And I promised E.A.C.H. 25 cars on display so I need a few more. Anyone with a car on this forum who is willing to join in and have their car on display at Southwold is very welcome, it isn't very often you see such a collection of cars in convoy in this area so please come and support this if you can, thanks John.

are they committed already, or do we need to entice them in??? LOL

[johns355]

Hi Kevin/Mike, I have pmed you both! Mohan, I don't think they'll need much enticing for a meet-up! I'll contact them and get back to you, there's a 355 as well from that way- I'll try and guide him along to your early morning meet, cheers John.

Somebody I know in Cambridge owns a 430, Murcielago, Gallardo SE, Carrera GT (!), 997 GTRS and a Panamera Turbo and I think he ordered a McLaren MP12-4C...

Anyone fancy seeing the Carrera GT ?

[johns355]

I'm having some work done on my car next week and if it will be finished in time could pop down to Southwold in the afternoon, as i can't make it in the morning.

What sort of time will you all be arriving there?
