I have come to the conclusion after seeing pics of mini sunday, that alot of you have way too much money and should give some to me :-)

excellent, aslong as its not way up north.I am in Wiltshire so somewhere near here would be great lol. Have you tried asking Castle Combe circuit?surely they would let us all in one morning? They have merlin motorsport there, and wiltshire college does a motorsport course, and have a great workshop.

Great picture of mine thanks! Rights reserved though! Damn!

Yes please!

January: MINI - Oxford
March: Lotus - Norfolk
April: Rolls Royce - Goodwood
May: Aston Martin - Gaydon
June: Milbrook Proving Ground
July: Caterham - Dartford
September: Mercedes Benz World
October: Bentley - Crewe
November: McLaren Technology Center - Woking

Lets hope that the manufacturers are as easily bribed as the PH team. Can every one please start sending Kprispy Creme's to Dr Bez, AM HQ, Newport Pagnell.

After every SS the wish list for future venues always comes up, so I thought I would join in. I am surprised however, that Lotus never really gets a mention, they have lots of space, a test track, a factory, and they are an F1 team! (are they still? I think? oh I give up!)

Plus I imagine that they must be the most popular british sports car that PHers own... the turn out of Lotus's (?) would be huge.

Excellent list, would be brilliant if we could do those!

[Garlick]

Great photo of the PH team hard at work....



Thanks for the photo Andy

Unfortunately I'd guess that at least 2 of the venue's in the list would want more than their pound of flesh for holding a Sunday Service.

Nothing wrong with having a wish list though

In all honesty, we aren't far away from a full calendar already....just the pre-summer dates to confirm.

They do take a bit of organising, so we started arranging things last year.

Your prize... whether you choose to accept it or not is to have your photo put on the internet

Well I can't wait to see the full list, going to try and get to as many as possible! Just hoping the Lotus one isnt over easter as I dont want to miss it - was epic last year!

Thats good news.
So there is 8 venues on the list above... any chance of a mark out of 8?

Thanks to all the organisers and staff for running such a great meet. This was my first PistonHeads event and I enjoyed mixing with the passionate petrolheads and experiencing the sights and sounds of a huge variety of beautiful machines.

Here's some photos. A few of a convoy driving up the A4074 and lots from the Mini plant.

You must have been hiding in the bushes with the Subarus?

We went past and noticed a flash, assume the picture came out rubbish?

[Ross Parker]

surely there are race circuits that would be willing to let us park up for a morning for free? as they are very quiet the first quarter of the year. I think they would do it for free bacause they would hope you would come back to their various events through out the year.

Absolutely, but we'd rather explore the more interesting, and not normally accessible, venues first.

It's a possibility for the quieter months however.
