[AtticusFinch]

Hi anyone else going?
I'm just off to treat the Sunbeam to some Shell Super(or whatever they call it these days) in readiness. looking forward to a damp but entertaining event.

Yep, planning on going to have a look. Just deciding which day to avoid to rain if possible I guess parking will be on the grass fields!

[AtticusFinch]

I'm going on Sunday (booked onto the run) should be a good event at the new location.

We're going for the whole weekend - spent the day cleaning the motor in readiness. Pray for decent weather!

we're helping out as usual with the Sporting Bears Dream Rides - http://www.festival-of-motoring.co.uk/news/article...

if I get the new front uprated higher springs in (or not) I should be going in the Midget and offering it for rides (I do get a few but not many) I will be taking it more steady than usual round tight bends and roundabouts as I may have to take the uprated ARB off depending on how stressed the bracket fixings are

I'm doing the run on Sunday too in my Vortex GTV.

Oh I don't know, looks okay to me. See you on Sunday.

I must admit I don't really know what a Vortex GTV is?

[EddyP]

I'm not far from Stonleigh, and it's been on and off all afternoon, fingers crossed for tomorrow.

A Vortex is a fabulous looking kit-car that, for My liking at least, puts all those Cobra, Lotus 7, Ferrari and Lamborghini replicas to shame!

Why? - because it's an original, good looking, well balanced design that highlights the fantastic possibilities that the kit-car World offers, rather than being a standard rip-off replica of other designers hard work!

It is what it is - it's not pretending to be something it's not!

Are these the cars they used to make in Meriden?

Sunday was as promised good weather

and the Sporting Bears Dream Rides helped to raise about £2,500 for Zoe's Place Baby Hospice

and the charity's representatives that came along with the SBDR also made three very good contacts whilst there so hopefully even more sucessful for them
