Hi,

We have organised two PH gatherings in the south west forum that hope to raise some money for the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance, whilst giving us all a good day out including lunch and a blat around some nice roads.

They are:

  • The Raleigh Rally, Sherborne Castle on Sunday 21st June
  • Motors at the Manor, Kingston Lacy on Sunday 19th July

We have a number of Ferraris, Lamborghinis, etc already attending but more would be fantastic!

Everyone is welcome, and in particular the older or rarer models that you don't see out on the road very often. E.g. 308s, Panteras, Guaras, Longchamps, Boras and Meraks, etc.

Despite my efforts I have yet to find a Daytona, F40, F50, Miura, LP640, Carrera GT, EB110, Lancia Stratos or 037 or other such special cars that can make it, so if you know any owners of these or similar please take the time to nudge them to come along!

Here is the thread:

It would be great if you could attend either events, or hopefully both!


Cheers. thumbup

Graham, see you got it on the forum yourself and with much more info than I could have mustered! I'll try to make both but can't guarantee either 'cos of work! Let's pray for a great Summer. Ant

Bumpage!

We now have quite a selection of cars, and an even bigger couple of raffles.

Update

The event on Sunday at Sherborne Castle was attended by about 120 cars and raised almost £700 for the Air Ambulance. It costs £3500 per day to keep the ambulance flying, so this money is very sorely needed.






Thread with lots of pictures


After the main meeting we visited the Air Ambulance base to meet the crew. Whilst there we conducted a sound test to see who was noisiest - 1st was Macey in his TVR Tuscan (115db), who won the bottle of wine and Noisy Bugger trophy; 2nd was Foundy's Ferrari (113db) and joint 3rd was Duesey's vintage Lagonda and Chimtvr's Corvette (112db).

We also took pictures of our cars around the helicopter and the crew were kind enough to answer some of our questions, e.g.



Due to advancing time, the countryside drive suffered by a number of us made the trip down to the coast:




The website for the next event at Kingston Lacy on 19th July is:

Hope you can make it!
