I'll be teaming up with Luca once again, armed with the camera. Just hope it's not too cold to get those 'special' shots.


I may be there if you need another camera car...bring your thermals!

OK, having checked that all the roads I planned to use still exist , here are the details of the start location and time and a rough idea of when we'll get to Racing Green.

Directions for the route will be emailed to all those who have replied on this thread or emailed me. If anyone else would like a copy, contact me through my profile.

We will be meeting in the car park outside The Tussaud Group offices in Silverglade Business Park, Kingston Road (KT9 2NN) at 7.45am, aiming for an 8.00am departure (sunrise). The business park is on the A243 very close to junction 9 of the M25 (on the right if coming from the M25, close to Mole Valley TVR and just after the BP station).
Map here

The route is about 90 miles and it will probably take 2-2.5 hours until we reach our destination in Ash Vale here.

Hopefully with our early start we'll have the luxury of the roads to ourselves - and what great roads they are!

Now I know where we're going, it doesn't look like we will meet up with your group Bob: I reckon we'll be passing though Midhurst about 1-1.5 hours before you.

Anyway, we'll keep an eye open: can't be too difficult to miss two convoys of TVRs can it?

That probably not a bad thing, I think Racing Green may collapse under the strain if we all turn up at the same time!!

Never mind. If we see you we see you, otherwise see you at Racing Green or the Royal Oak.

Leave us some bacon butties - I missed out last time for the T350T and don't want to miss out again !

Jeremy,

I'll be there. Beastie is in at Racing Green (so i'll be able to check it's alright and not too homesick at the end of the run..!) so I'll be along in the RX-8

Can you send me a map please!

Should be a very good run: a fantastic variety of automotive porn coupled with some great driving roads.

There will also be plenty of people coming along - at the last count I've sent out over 35 sets of directions, some to people organising small groups.

Don't forget to bring your video and still cameras to help create footage for the now traditional (and award winning ) DVD from Sleepy-Fish productions.

We'll go with the BBC then, 'cos The Weather Channel thinks it is going to rain.

Pesky weather forecasts.
