Countach Meeting UK 2014
Discussion
Guys
I have tried various options and not sure what the take up will be for this. I suspect even if Diablo people come and clearly any CT enthusiast is welcome, that the numbers will be quite small. It is principally a Countach event though. If there is going to be a big take up and someone wants to get Diablos along, then possibly we could have one Hotel for each and a joint dinner? Lets wait and see. Some bigger hotels are main wedding venues and this is peak wedding season so prices were double what they are here.
Dates: Friday 6th to Sunday 8th June 2014
Venue: The Sportsman's Arms as recommended by people in Yorkshire Forum. This a small hotel near Harrogate. I wanted to stay out of towns to avoid issues with security for the cars overnight and attracting the wrong type of attention.

Room prices £100 per night for double/twin or £90 single with breakfast. Total of 9 rooms Fri/Sat Night. Your call when you arrive, but if Saturday, the plan would be to be away by 10am for a run and lunch somewhere and back by about 5pm. Sunday will be a breakfast and departure day.
The details for the run and lunch venue will not be posted on here and will be given out in person to those attending.
Food will probably be fixed menu at about £30 per head plus drinks. I will negotiate that when we know the numbers.
This is a 'first come first served' basis. Book directly with the hotel to reserve and say you are coming for the the Lamborghini event.
If the hotel gets fully booked then there is another Hotel about 2 miles away.
Please also email me and post on here or add to the list if you a re coming.

5/6 OrangeLP400 S and B LP400 Orange/Tan Sat York and thanks Paul for all your efforts with this as i know its time consuming to organise an event like this.
Hi
I have spoken to the Hotel about access as some people were concerned about one way in which is a very narrow road. The access we will use is across the bridge and NOT the way the Sat nav will show you down a hill and very narrow single lane road.
Please book as early as you can, as the Hotel only has 11 rooms and have limited hold for our function.
The Yorke Arms is the next nearest hotel which may be of the same size although quite a bit more expensive.

Not exactly proved popular at this stage! If there are only three cars coming I wonder if this is worth it? I know nearer the time people will possibly chase up on this but the Hotel will almost certainly not have accommodation as we can't reserve for that.
Thoughts?
Anyone else genuinely interested?
Two from Scotland to drive 400 miles to meet one other car isn't making sense at this stage

I agree Paul. Unfortunatly Countachs are a rare thing and i do not think there are too many within spitting distance of the Dales/North of England and most owners are not like u hardy Scotish folk and prepared to travel so far. Perhaps u need to open it up to Diablos but even then i think u will struggle, so maybe all Lambos or, and this is my suggestion, classic ferraris too as i really feel it will be an uphill battle to make it work restricted to one marque. Also the season is in full swing in June so there are so many competing events its difficult to find a slot when folk have a free weekend.

I dont doubt its real at all, its just you sort of wouldnt believe it. Saw a similar one of F40s today...again, just looks, literally, unreal. It must have been very funny......."look a Lamborghini Countach"......oh another one....you dont see that EVER......++++++
