been there a couple of years, its a nice show, with the addition of track action...

and a sprinkling of rain always makes the track more interesting..

200miles?

thats no probs! Mark and i drive down from Macc which is a good 200miles and 3hour drive. Its an easy drive at 5am.

Its a shame that this show is one day only as 2 days with camping would be much better.

Yep always there, rude not to, its only on the otherside of town, Hope ther's more trade stands this year, sucked last year, although the scooby losing it on tower corner sort of made up for it in a sick way!

I'll certainly try and make this one, my diary looks free (ie no BaT day that day) so i'll make the effort to pop along. Would be good to meet up and yes compare Mk1a's! I'm sure yours is much better condition wise than mine though... And yes if i can i may well take it out for a few laps and of course you'd be welcome to come for the ride, no probs.

If you are in derby though its not that far really. Probably 200miles say 3 hours drive.

I'll be going down from Macclesfield which must be the same distance. There may even be a bit of a convoy going on.
