Hi all

Anyone else heading to this?

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

Looks like a great day out with some awesome kit on display, we'll have a pretty good number of TVRs there so please come to say hello, or better still, get your name down for a great cause.

Hi

We're pretty local so most of us dont have far to go (Im in Bromley)

Im sure theres talk of a convoy somewhere on the main thread but if we hatch a cunning nearer the time plan I'll post on here.

Really looking forward to the big day.

Yes, i'm going as taking part in the Dream Rides thing smile

I'll be setting off from Essex at Jct8 of M11, drivers brief isn't until 10:15 but i'm thinking i'll set off much earlier than necessary to avoid Saturday traffic and if i can get a recommendation for a decent breakfast near the Castle i'll do that and then get on site early doors to get the lie of the land biggrin

Count me in, especially for breakfast - what a brilliant idea.

Sun rises early.
Bound to be tropical by then (?)
Will happily look to join in with anyone coming from the Essex side of the river.

Or theres The Oakdene Cafe nearer the M25?? Has to be said the services are easier but you know not to set expectations too high!

Not sure of my plans yet but looking forward to seeing everyone at the event.

Hi
The local TVRs are meeting at the services at 8.30 so should be at the castle just before 9.00am.
If we miss you do come & say hello once we're there.
Any news on arrival of display passes yet as people are starting to panic!

What a great day out, i went along with a friend in his kit car and was quite surprised when we arrived to find our 'spot' was here! Highlight was a quick blast in the second car in the pic - a cosworth powered Tiger with just shy of 400hp. Fun but fierce!
