Convoy: Basingstoke -> Thruxton (GT/Tuscan

[whatever]

Don and myself are planning to travel to Thruxton on Sunday in convoy, so if anyone else would like to join in they're most welcome.

We are, however, planning to leave rather early. We're leaving at 7:45 to allow plenty of time to get installed before the GT warm-up (which last year was the only opportunity to see the rollcentre car moving, iirc) begins at 9-ish. Meeting at the "usual" car-park by the leisure centre/spruce goose.

Hopefully I'll not get distracted into dashing off after any passing ferarris, this time...

If I get the beast back from Moley's - I might well join you at the Wooden Bird! - hope so anyway!

And if we see a 'rari I won't be holding you to that!

Seriously....one year at Castle Combe the Tuscans were on the same bill as the 360 challenge. The fans (of both marques) turned out in their droves...with their cars..and much overtaking and revving of engines commenced on the drive in.

Grand entertainment...although a couple of drivers did get a tad *too* enthusiastic and I was glad when it calmed back down a bit.

So...I do hope a few people join us..all adds to the fun. Looks like the weather should be nice too.

Keith: .mark is going so we might see him there...

Yep, I'll be there both days lurking around the Hawthorns garage.
Might be in the TVR may have to bring the tin-top, after Pie on the Beach my daughter is big in to cars/racing now! :sigh:

Well just remember to tell her to stand behind the guy hitting the golf ball and she may get to be old enough to get a driving licence!

I'm not sure what route I'm taking on Sunday (looks like the Dorset gang are going on Saturday) but see you there guys !

I will definitely call in there this time. I actually sponsor Rod (well...a little bit anyway) so I feel a coffee and a quick nose at their Tuscan Racers isn't out of order...

See you there...

See you there...

...and I'll go and hang around the Thames Valley Racetech garage for a bit -- it sometimes feels like I'm sponsoring them!

We're meeting at the leisure park at the centre of the following map:

(you may have to stitch that back together in your browser).

It's just a bit west of Basingsotke town centre, on the B3400

We're planning to leave the carpark described above at or around 7:45 (but not much later!). I think other threads have convoys from other places, too.
