Northants Run on 14/08/2011 from Dove House Motor Co

[Dove House]

We are arranging a run from Dove House Motor Company, Crown Way, Rushden, NN10 6BS www.doveousecars.com on 14th August. It has been a while since we last arranged a run, with the last one being in May 2005, so this is well overdue.

In 2005 the turn-out was fantastic with numerous Ferrari, Porsche, Noble, TVR etc.... turning up, so hopefully this will be just as good, if not a better.

The plan is to meet at Dove House Motor Company at 10:00am on Sunday 14th August, have a fun drive round the Northamptonshire countryside, with a mid-point stop off, then back to Dove House. Depending on numbers we may even be able to arrange a Hog Roast to be waiting for us on our return.

Everyone welcome from Mazda MX5 to Bugatti Veyron!!!!

Let's get a list started of who can make it, we have a few to get the ball rolling:

1. Mclaren F1 GTR
2. Mclaren MP4-12C
3. Porsche 997 Turbo
4. Ferrari 360 Spider F1
5. Aston Martin DB9
6. Ferrari 355 GTS F1

Actually Nigel you can go as the Asda day is on a SAturday (13th August) this year.

ETA - Sounds like a plan - Sat at Brunty and a run on Sunday.

Sunday TVR or P5B?

At least its not an S2000 that's currently up on axle stands in my garage!

whoops my smilie didn't copy in next to your entry

S2000 fantastic and most reliable car but even with those an oil and filter change each year will not fully and properly service, maintain and repair the whole car

guessing which S2000 it'll be I'd say lack of use has caused something to seized up
