shere hill climb - guildford area surrey

[rossb]

Local event outside guildford tomorrow in aid of charities

Basically it is a non-competitive event for 174 cars to parade up the hill - but some interesting stuff turns up - from blower bentley's to a Miura to Minis - just a bit of fun really - I am doing it with some mates - and the spectator viewing is improved for this year

Details on link below:

A mate is driving one of my cars and the car i wanted to take is still having work done - so wanting to be left out I just bought a smartuki - basically a smart car with a gsxr1000 engine.

Edit to add - It was delivered and after a longer test drive without brakes - engine misfire etc - i can confirm i won't be bringing it! - but i will be coming along to watch

Yes - weather notwithstanding - was a fun day - got a passenger ride in car without screen/roof at end of day in rain - it was erm..refreshing!

It's the hillclimb again on Sunday, anyone on here doing it ?

[NotNormal]

Popped along for first time last year and despite the weather was a good day.
Will definately be heading over Sunday as weather is a lot better this time I see

Went along on Sunday having only heard about it on Friday, what a jolly good day out! Loads of interesting cars in the paddock, some decent food and beer and even quite amusing watching the non-competitive "parades" up the hill.

I have no idea what went on last year to make the police and local authority so anti this year,I thought it was a very well run event.

Was a brilliant day, even paid a few quid to drive the wife's estate on the autotest circuit and got 2nd fastest time

Smoked the rears on the mustang but fluffed the last run as the box was in auto

H&S it would appear according to this article. Interesting comparison to the annual bike ride in that department.
