Pistonheads Classic Car Meeting
Discussion
The idea of a Pistonheads meeting for classics has been raised on the "show us yer jalopy" thread. Suggestions so far include meeting up at the Donington Historic event (or at nearby services and processing to park together at Donington), or at Gaydon or Old Warden. A Midlands venue would make sense. Anyway, let's give the RAC and AA a busy day.

Or maybe somewhere where not too many folk may have been to before like Shelsey Walsh. What Salvadori said about Goodwood on a summer's day could just as well be said about SW...and some cracking driving roads to get to it as well along the Teme Valley. Meetings throughout the spring into early Autumn but I'd suggest one of the National Hillclimb Championship rounds for the biggest variety of cars.

Listen up you buggers.
How about making a meet in the middle of the country, i.e. Great Britain. It has other countries beside England!
Every time something like this is suggested it is always too far south.
Have you any idea what it would cost me for fuel in the 500 SEC to travel from Glasgow to the London area and back?
Have some consideration, eh!

London? Who mentioned London? Shelsley, Donnington and that concrete wasteland, Silverstone, are pretty much bordering the Artic Circle already 
Anyway, what about Crystal Palace

Shelsey Walsh.. Good Call.
I like the idea of a meet at Silverstone Classic, but there's already masses of stuff going on there, so maybe somewhere smaller would make it a bit more special.
That's what I was thinking. I'm sure it wouldn't take much to arrange with the Midland Automobile Club to organise a designated parking area as well. Doubt you could do that at somewhere like Silverstone.

Go and organise your own and stop whinging. How about making a meet in the middle of the country, i.e. Great Britain. It has other countries beside England!

This is too far north for me but the last thing I'm going to do is complain about it. this guy is making an effort to do a meet, don't knock it if you're not prepared to do something yourself.

Sorry, am I missing something? The OP suggested Donington before this thread was highjacked by those who fear their balls will shrivel if they go north of Watford!This is too far north for me but the last thing I'm going to do is complain about it. this guy is making an effort to do a meet, don't knock it if you're not prepared to do something yourself.
