Anyone for a Mosler supercar factory visit and raid?
Discussion
Working on this as a possibility for last weekend of October. Based in East Dereham, Norfolk (approx 15 miles west of Norwich) so we could combine a visit with a hoon around some Norfolk roads as well! :)
Not 100% yet but please register your interest so we can guage numbers. I will update with further details as available - here`s one PetrolTed tested earlier!

Hey guys!
Yup i'd be interested!!!(so long as I can make it - Suppose to be heading to Portsmouth for a friends 21st around then, but ill check my dates)
The destination is right down my road too :-)
I had a friend who did work experience at Tommy Kaira on the same industrial estate. Think mayb even the same building. (Tommy Kaira are a japanese Sports car company. Think they use 2.0 toyota engines, but rather quick!) Also had a Mosler pull out from the industrial estate about a year ago. Pulled up onto the A47 behind me. I nailed my little 2.3 Mercedes got up to about 100 and he just flew passed!
If i can make it, count me in!

What industrial estate is it?
Won't be there as I'll be living in Leeds by then.

Rashers Green I think it is. If you know the area, it is the road next to Thurlow Nunn Vauxhall dealership.
Checked with my friend tonight and it is in the same building they make the Tommy Kaira cars and Moslers.
Ian or John: What route would you taking to East Dereham? You can either go FF - Thetford - Watton - Dereham, or FF - A11 to Norwich - A47 to Dereham. I do the former to get to the FF and it typically takes 45mins to 1 hour (Dereham is 10 mins further from my house)

Omitchell - you`re a PHer so welcome! 
iluvmercs - Hi Darren, I was looking at a map last night thinking of this. I reckon your route FF, Thetford, Watton, Dereham will be fine, how is that A1075 though? OK for sports cars?
Do you know where the factory is relative to the Tescos at Dereham (south of the A47 by the junction) as I know that!!

i would come but i don't have a fast car, would that be a problem? it's good on the twisties but just doesn't have the power on the straights
That's where the real fun is anyway (a lotus owner tries to convince the world)!!
You know, from the description I guessed Lotus too! All Loti are very welcome and a Raid is not a trackday (unless you've got Ultimas in it
) so you'll have no problem keeping up. If you're really worried, you can do what Dave does with his 1928 Austin and set off 3 days earlier

I seem to remember a few of us leaving you for dust on the flying pig raid Jon!
Shame we missed the turning you all took though
