Anyone here planning on going?

[matt-man]

Indeed i do!!!

I was thinking today about organising a following for this!

Should we have a early morning meet up and cruise down together? It needs to be an early start as otherwise its too busy!!

I usually get there for about 9:00 and its already busy!!

Who's in??

[rev-erend]

[eesbad]

Well, I am coming from Maidstone and was planning on tagging along with some Lotus buddies, but a convoy sounds good - if only two of us!!

Hi all,

Hoping to make it down on Sunday, depending on the weather! Last time I went it pi$$ed down so didn't have a fun journey home.

If weather is good may see some of you there.

Mani

I must admit that the forecasted 'heavy snow showers' are putting me off....

Maybe a SEAC snow plough might come in handy I used to have one of those

I know the weather doesnt look much cop, but I have planned a set off from Portsdown Hill for 7:05am so we can get in and park within their grounds instead of the field, gates open at 7:30am.
I may have to cancel Saturday night once I've seen the 24hr forecast tho.
There is also a suggested meet from Fleet stn at 7:30, its on the Hants TVRCC forum

Gates open at 8.30 Woody - according to the email I have had from GW today.

Weather improving all the time - has gone from lots of snow to light showers over the last 2 days.

Matt - are you going to meet at Micks on Portsdown Hill? I'm having brekkie there beforehand!

Not able to make it .. no wedge (SEAC) ..

There is the usual meet :

Meet point 1 - 0700 at Ladymead Retail Park, Europa Park Rd,
Guildford. 0700 for departure sharp at 0715. We wait for no man (or
woman), so if you are late you are playing catchup (what's the
betting I am late??)

Meet point 2 - 0745 at Petworth Car Park for 0800 departure sharp.

Destination - Arrive Goodwood 0830

Hi Matt - Curviness has been a gas... albeit a warm one !! These Griffs seem to cool themselves down by boiling the occupants via phenomenal heat soak into the cabin (top down is a must !!). Great noise though and definitely handles and brakes a bit better . Still miss me Wedge though.... I still keep looking wistfully in the classifieds and pondering ... BUT.... its just a dream as I've just put a deposit down on one of those Mad Bad .... hugely expensive ...Nissan GTR R35s. The good news is 193mph and 0-60 in 3.5... Big downer though is that'll mean the end of all my other toys
Will keep my eye open for the next trip to Goodwood, think June is fave at the mo.
