Stoneleigh hasn’t even happened yet and I’m sure everyone is looking forward to a great show. However I’m already looking even further ahead to the weekend of 12^th and 13^th August 2017 which will be the annual Midlands area run to Wales.

The destination is once again (and possibly for the last time) Nefyn on the Llyn peninsula in North West Wales. Although the previous year’s driving route offered some of the best driving roads around, I fancied a challenge this year and so have planned something that’s as new as I can possibly make it so we’ve got some new views to enjoy.

Travel will be departing on the morning of Friday 11^th August with overnight stays on Friday and Saturday nights, a jolly days drive Saturday and return home on Sunday. The Friday morning departure isn’t compulsory (some people may need to work) so if you can’t travel up in the group, you can join us later.

Accommodation wise you need something in / around the Nefyn area and as in previous years there’s plenty of choice. However some have been a little ‘mixed’ in more recent years so is anyone wants to suggest places to avoid, let me know. I’ll be sleeping in my own bed so I can’t offer first hand reviews but others are welcome to do so. There’s a fairly comprehensive list of places to stay here:

Some of the regulars have already booked, just confirm where you’re staying and I’ll add you to the attendance list below. Remember this is open to everyone, not just those from the Midlands so if you fancy coming, get your name down and get it in the diary.

This is where a Classic Car Show is hosted. The only downside is it finishes at 9pm, however it does start at 4pm though.

Just a reminder to all Rover-engined Superspec owners. I will have my data cable, laptop and analysis software with me at Stoneleigh if you want to make sure your engine, ECU and the various sensors are all working correctly.

Al

Anyone on here likely to be at Weston Park Sunday or Monday?

I'll be there but not in the Exmo

Hiya guys.

I booked a racer ticket & 4 crew tickets for Ray's Corvette to make its first practice runs.

This is not a regular RWYB, but a limited entry for serious racers on a fully prepped track

But the car is not 100% ready for the track, although it starts & runs well, it needs to go on a RR

& there are not many that can handle 2000 HP, and none that can fit it in by then.

Scroll down a bit for the video....

Rather than risk it, he has decided not to take it,

so I will be taking the Hood rather than waste the tickets, weather dependent.

There may be some free crew tickets available, but I will post up nearer the date.

Tickets can be collected at the gate so do not need to be mailed

Passenger rides may also available....

Bob

Hi All, I've just found out that I will be out of the country when the Stilton Cheese run is on (Sunday 24th April) This is a great run out with many cars.

If anyone would like my ticket for this please let me know as it is all paid for and up for grabs. Free to anyone who can make good use of it.

PJ.

There's a monthly car / bike / vehicle meet at the North Warwickshire Recreational Centre, Tamworth Road B78 1HT on the first Wednesday on the month, April to October.

Entry fee is a quid on the gate, proceeds go towards Polesworth Carnival.

Details as below and they're also on Facebook for those that do it.
