I take it this is now in favour rather than Newark.
I'm in Kent the day before so will look at a route before deciding.

Will do.
Not a happy driver at moment. Got home last night to find 6inch screw in rear tyre. Not been on for long. Getting replacement. Could perhaps repair but is it worth the risk??

Turn it into a coffee table.

Or sell it to someone who wants to wear it away on a track day.

Had a look at the web site and then rang the organisers.
If you pre-book its £6 each person and park in the general parking. £8 on the day.

If you pre-book as a club you get a display area for 12 cars and passes for an additional 18 club members. All this for free.

I suggest we wait to see how many takers there are then apply.

It's a better venue for me to complete a Portsmouth, kent, Gaydon, Portsmouth round trip so I'm in.

I didn't think repairs were allowed anywhere on a Z rated tyre?

I checked with Goodyear and they were fine with it after I explained the cost and twisted there arm. I get through tyres so quickly that it was not an issue!

Definitely. Only issue is the weather (as usual). With no roof, I'll be keeping it in the garage if its pi$$ing down.

When were you at Thruxton Brain I mean, Brian?

I was there last weekend with a mate as a guest of Porsche, who were launching the GT3. Very nice car that is - and I can't stand Porkers usually!

PS. Happy for you to store the Can-Am in my workshop whilst the tyre is repaired, I need something to copy the roof from!!!

Does that get you into a display area or just the general car park.

I got the impression from the organisers that you only get in to display if you pre-book as a club. In fact if you book a club display you get in for free.

I intend coming along but will be starting from Kent.

Steve, I pre-registered as an exhibitor. I've had cars displayed there for the last couple of years so that may have helped. The pass gets me into the main display area. I was runner up in the Supercar of the year in 2003, second only to a Murcielago, so maybe we'll go one better this year... (though I doubt it).

Bearing in mind that they're probably struggling for numbers with it clashing with LeMans weekend, you'll probably be able to blag your way in on the day.
