sorry didnt mean to sound so angry with "!?" lol Ye it could suit alot of people. Drive up into the cambrain mountains they are in the middle of wales.

Bump.

This is planned to be a weekend event, so the idea is to have a "driving" day and a "show" day. Of course if the "show" day also involves driving, great

Plan A is to go south. The three options we've thought of so far for the "show" part are...

Haynes Museum (complete with track) in Somerset
Brooklands (complete with use of "the hill", and access to the banking) in Surrey
Beaulieu (complete with motor museum, but no action that I'm aware of) near Southampton

Plan B which was muttered about is to go north this year (ideas on a postcard...?) because Brooklands' calendar is more empty next year. You have to book the hill in advance, and pay a fair bit of money (for St John's Ambulance cover, etc) which is non-refundable if it's rained off - which would suck...making an autumn date more risky. There other concerns about "the hill" (ground clearance...and getting air at the top), which makes me tempted to save that one for another year while we work out the finer points.

Shall I set up a poll...?

cheers

Yeah might be an idea for a poll. I'd love some track action! Even if it is raining. Beueueueuelue has the attraction of a relaxing drive through the new forest. And there's always matchams oval track

Alternating North and South doesn't help anyone in Wales or East Anglia as they still have a mega journey just to reach civilisation.

I say forget worrying about holding it close to members locations and just go for a good venue every year no matter where it is. Suggestions so far have been good, I agree about leaving Brooklands until next year though. I do like the idea of a Snowdonia trip - lots of great roads, nice scenery, Ffestiniog and other small railways and of course the Mach Loop. The downside is that there are no car related places to visit, but I can live with that.

Well you can sod off on a holiday to Snowdonia, and we'll go to the meet then

Will sort out a poll later...

cheers

Unless it's wales I won't really be able to afford to attend. What is the mach loop? Im not far from mach. Theres also elan valley and evo triangle

It's unlikely to be in Wales (at least this year), but I fully understand the travel woes

This is why people like the Mach Loop... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-7zHlOi4T4

I know exactly where that is. They arent even that low!! Dads been driving up the road to that spot with a jet in the valley below!!

They also come over our house quite often

bit random i know, but i no the owner of langar airfield (Nottingham)..

could see if we could use it for the weekend and camp in the fields surrounding it.

it's the place i'll be testing the 360 turbo!!!!

Adam.

There looks like dirtbike/4x4 course there, would there be oppurtunity for a handling course or similar?

I think it's a great idea

there is a man center there lol with quads,carts and much more!

Adam.

That is a very good suggestion!

Just dropping this here, if anyone fancys a welsh meet...

when the 360t iss finished me and the mrs are up for that defo!!

Adam.

And me. Theres another similar road to that but higher up in the Beacons. It's near Lord Hereford's Knob
