A simple Google will take you there - there's nothing wrong with the website, just PH linking problem.

[silverfoxcc]

Spent a good half hour looking for the route... Apart from it being a figure of 8 and a 12.00 time nothing else... route, how many times round, list of possible cars

Anyone ITK?

AFAIK the vehicles will be released in batches of 8. Don't know how many laps - I guess it depends how many cars?

Thanks for those links,it's a lot more cars than I expected.
I'll come down just for the Ferrari.

[silverfoxcc]

Thanks from me as well

I'm hoping to be in the passenger seat of one of the cars belonging to a friend (his car isn't on the list on the website.. and will definitely be the rarest one there!). I'm hoping that the clutch on the car holds out, and for good weather!

[Pericoloso]

Weather was pants but that didn't spoil my enjoyment of watching old cars going round the town.


Only pic I took with the phone.
Should've taken one of the odd FIAT Abarth thing.
Other pics on camera.

[Pericoloso]

I really like the weird shape of that.

Mr Abarth didn't, which is why there was only 3 ever built!
