Howdy folks! There's not much in the SW in the way of meets, so how about we get as many 300s as possible to turn up to the VOC's Southern BKV in a couple of weeks. I'm hoping to by there in my 343, but the dates are tight, and it looks like I only have one shot at the MOT
Here are the details...
Southern BKV and 120 Rally - Sunday 4th May 2008
Haynes Motor Museum, Sparkford, Somerset (Off the A303)

Who's game?
cheers

I believe you have to be VOC, but thats a worthwhile investment anyway.

I'm really hoping that the 343 is ready in time. It failed an MOT today, but there wasn't a lot wrong with it....

Retest tomorrow, all being well!
cheers
