i think the only good thing to shout about in Cov is the transport museum! well to us PHer's in Cov it is.
Yeah, i've only been here about 12 months for a masters at cov uni (check profile) and i used to live in Newcastle where i did my 1st degree. God i miss the Toon!
I agree about the Cov trans museum ,its not bad overall. We could try and organise a mini-midlands meet at the museum for some of the PH massive (presuming they haven't all been before)?

K321 - are you 'git' on Saabcentral mate? Hows the 900 vert doing - last time we met was in Cov car park and you were having 'issues' with your hood? See if you remember (same username on central for me - i'm the cobra and viper beater on the Gumball thread!)

how about a meet at the museum in Coventry? They have Thrust 2 and SSC, and hopefully soon the Dieselmax car as well.
Its a great museum. Is there good parking for a collection of cars?
Or the airport. It has a good aircraft museum,and is easy to get to
Oh, is there a list anywhere of where the old car factories were? Triumph, Jaguar, Alvis, Armstring Siddley, Standard etc etc. I would be interested to see how much of tht remains.
Deffo up for a meet in Coventry, though!

I actually helped organise a meet with a mate for a bunch of saab drivers to visit the transport museum in cov. There was over 50 cars there and we got agreement from the council to take over a nearby car park we then spent a few hours at the museum and went for a drive to a fantastic country pub for sunday lunch (which has won awards and was so good i recently went back with an ex girlfriend). We even made the Coventry papers - we could try and do something similar if there was enough interest.

The front of the museum,i owuld say could hold well over 200 car's maybe less but who know's? there is the festival of motoring at the memorial park this weekend,sunday i think,not to sure if it lead's through to the museum,here are some pictures that i have found later today or tommorow i will go and get some better quality/bigger pictures to share so we know how big it is.

Don't think it's designed for vehicluar access though. Obviously from your pic it's possible, but from what I remember from my last visit you'd have to drive over the kerb and pavement. Maybe you could check next time you're there.

just been there but forgot my camera,to access you have to go round the back of the museum and then you have to remove bollard's then your in,me thinks.
