The date is fixed for Sunday 6th June 2004.

The word 'Supercar'will be strictly enforced this year so perhaps no TVR's Deloreans etc with no car movements once the show is open.

Dream rides will occur again with the 'Sporting Bears' but cars will not be allowed to move from display to 'Dream Rides' so you need to make your mind up and watch out for the

Invites will be sent out to the usual attendees by post. however I will do another post once I have my form if any other interested parties wish to go.

If you have not been before then please come its one of my favourite events.

No TVRs? 190mph Cerberas don't count as supercars?

a lot better than Brooklands, it called the M40, or back lanes around Gaydon, A roads.

Expect to be mixing it with F40's, Diablos, Murchi... and such like, never seen a McLaren there yet, but spotted a Bugatti EB110 and XJ220 a few years ago

Always fancied going to this and now - maybe - I have a vehicle of sufficient calibre too? If a pristine 95 NSX is worthy of the event then let me know, I'd be up for this. Either way would like to attend anyway...

No offense Ted but we unwashed Viper owners only just scrap in.

Never seen so many Lambo's, F40's (and the cheap ones)

Normally they mail out through club sec's etc but if you have an intesting car then you can call them and get a form.

It is nothing to do with me what is a Supercar and what isn't.

But they are putting this in to stop clubs that can swamp the place confusing cars that are interesting with cars that have true performance ie sub 5 secs and close to 200mph.

Just my ten cents.......better keep my head down.

So 0>60 3.9 secs, 0>100 10.2 secs and 192 mph tops should do it then!!

Has nobody seen the Clarkson video of a couple of years back, which shows the relative performance of a Viper vs a TVR Cerbera?

Guess my RT10 wont make it as top end is 167, rather than 200 according to the owners manual?
