Anyone about on this coming Sunday morning for a drive in the Dartmoor area ? Start Ashburton or Exeter or Plymouth and head north !
Grockles should of gone home by Sunday, so traffic shouldnt be too heavy.

Upcoming events include
Haynes museum breakfast meet on 7th June
Wilton Supercars & Classics 6th & 7th June
Westpoint Exeter BHP fuelfest show on 14th June
Goodwood FOS 27th & 28th June

Who is attending what ?
Anything else going on ?

i am debating the wilton supercar show, not sure if im classic car saturday or supercar sunday.
i do prefer classic cars to supercars :/

has anyone ever been before? i dont really know what to expect and if its worth the 2+ hours just to get there.
bhp fuelfest is something im avoiding due to the shambles of organisation it was last year that i heard (although tbf it was the first year)

I'm free Sunday and up for a drive, busy Haynes & Wilton weekend, attending BHP (are you going?), half considering Goodwood.

We are going to BHP Fuelfest at Westpoint. I didn't believe that it was that badly organised, I've attended worse.

The one complaint I had was only opening one entry hut because it did cause some pretty bad queues out on to the road, which was totally unnecessary. Other than that they made a good effort for year 1.

Unlikely that we will be able to come on the 31st, as much as we'd like to, we're off to Brandshatch on 21st June, so need to save pennies as that will be a very very expensive weekend with taking the R33GTR.

Well, I`m prob doing Haynes, def doing wilton on the sunday, def doing bhp. was going to do FoS but have put this off for a year as want to do the whole 4 days. Not sure about sun, lots of instances of sheep killed on moor recently due to being spring/ lambs about so would have to be a bit cautious..

Sunday - Tim & Dave - lets see who else joins in before we pick a start point

Ive been up around haytor & bovey tonight, quiet roads, not a sheep in sight. But if we start at Exeter, we may just go north and skirt the moor, to avoid animal welfare.

I already have tickets to BHP Fuelfest and Goodwood.
Wilton, once you've seen the cars once, its a long way to go to see them again. Great event tho.

Can make Sunday morning. If it's wet it will be the hack though. Where and what time earlier the better for driving.
