Googling that very phrase would take you to our site!

Things are really, really slow here though and so we're waiting for things to recover before organising another event.

There is a Spanish company (103 Octanos) that is still doing things at Guadix/Ascari etc

Joe (Joaquin of the Gasolinera) is trying to arrange something locally, I think he needs a minumum of about 10 people to make it financially viable. Ask him this coming Sunday. I shall be there, either in my E type or Caterham 7

Will be there in the TVR. Think we'll have to set up a "Gasolinera" topic!!

This is how I arrived at the Gasolinera last time(Previously posted in the Lotus 7 Club Forum)
"It’s been raining heavily here in Spain for the last 10 days (Gota Fria time) but Sunday cleared up a bit apart from a few black clouds in the sky. Decided to take the Caterham out for a blat finishing up at a local café where all the classic car guys meet up. There were a lot of people outside, under the veranda, drinking coffee and admiring the cars already there. Being a bit of a show off I arrived making plenty of noise and spinning the wheels as I came into the car park, to get everybody’s attention, Just as I parked the heavens opened and I had to put the hood up rapidly, this proved much more difficult than the trial run in the garage when I first got the car several months ago.
The onlookers were much amused by my complete lack of dexterity and inadequate knowledge of the Caterham hood system, they were, however, most, impressed by my temper and the broad range of swear words employed during the process. By the time I’d got it up I looked like a drowned rat and the car was full of water…
Still, got a few cups of coffee out of it !"

Whereabouts is the "Gasolinera"? Is this a regular hangout for petrol heads?
Sounds like a place I'd like to visit! smile

It's on the coast road between Calpe and Moraira on the Costa Blanca, lots of interesting cars there on a Sunday morning

Just to clarify La Gasolinera is much closer to Calpe than Moraira.

Took me a while to find it coming from Moraira/Javea as it is quite small and on a bend (whats not!), unfortunately it was closed over the New Years holidays so I will have to vist next time (maybe Feb 7th).

Guys, I'm building a house near Marbella, and interested in relocating once complete.

I get the impression the nearest tracks are Jerez, and Ascari. Are there any other tracks that are any closer?

Thx,
Rob
