Not sure where we all are for BBWF2012, but stayed at the above at the weekend.

Link to http://www.wroxall.com/

Spoke to a chap who part owns it (John Kent -ex TVR Tuscan Driver) and he says he'd love to have TVRs there.

Large car park, 70-ish rooms, 10 miles from NEC (M42, M40 and M6).

Could get further info if any one interested.

Sorry guys its Wroxall (Not Wraxhall -that's near Bristol and is where my sister in law lives)

That looks superb..Right slap bang in the middle of england..Historically placed..Ahh from Shakespear to christopher wren how enchanting..Part owned by a TVR enthusiasts..Big car park..Id say well worth a further investigation..Do they mind traders in the car park?..Is there a conference room for us to use on the main night?..Can they arrange an affordable roast or let us self cater?..Is there discount for group bookings?..Whats on route for drive outs?..Local attractions..(Girls)..And finally..What time does the bar close?..(Only kidding on that one)...Lets see what everyone else thinks...Cheers..Ziga

We were there for a wedding. Any reason why you didn't go for it?

THE John Kent? Roop's dad, former factory driver (I think he drove the development 390)...

That's the fella. It was Roop's wedding.

Have a look at

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDPiVDfvF20

It's a bit slow to start with but speeds up about 1/3 of the way through.

John also drove the Turbo S racer at Macau against Steve Cole in the SEAC.

Sorry MXT, I'll extract my foot from my mouth.

I've fired off an e-mail to John Kent asking for the guys at the hotel to get in touch will let you know if I hear anything.
