Motoring days out and ideas thread

[Daniel]

If you’ve done something or been somewhere that is a bit off the beaten track, post details in here for us all to see.

I want to do Haynes, Mathewsons Auctions and some sort of retro show/day this year. And now I’m not goi g to be working anywhere near as much, I’m actually going to do it instead of just talking about it. 😂

so yeah, what have you got to show us??

You going to come to a Haynes breakfast club @Daniel ?

Project auto in Shepton isn't worth the drive if you've got that on the list.

I should have the Cossie back in about 3 weeks/ a month.

Once its back I want to do a few (as many as I can! Lol)

That more accurate?

Looking forward to seeing more about it when it’s back

What about a Cliosport stand at Rallyday, without any Clios actually on stand? 😂😂😂

Make sure you pre book!

Me and Mr P usually meet up at Street McDonald's at 7:30 and go from there.

Rally day isn’t my bag at all. It’s the same cars and people going that were going back in 1998.

I get where your coming from, it was in jest 🙂 I've been perhaps 3 times in the past fifteen years.

What about something like retro rides? Never been myself tbh.

 

[Sir Nancy Flowers]

Where abouts are you located @Daniel ?

Some decent stuff about but depends where you are. Don't wanna recommend stuff that's 400 miles away 🤣

Went last year, was pretty quiet if I'm honest but was a good day

Silverstone classic is always a good day out.

I’d be up for this with you Spud.

Haynes is good although it has gone a bit 'car show' in recent years. Museum's pretty good on its own so if you haven't been for that then it's worth going.

Have you been to any of the Queen Square meets? It's on my list of things to do, it's quite a nice one.

Watergate Bay Hillclimb/Sprint down in Newquay is often good, get to see a bit of racing and some sea and sand whilst you're at it. Closer though is Wiscombe Park, if you go for the National Hillclimb Championship weekend there's some very quick stuff competing.

That's just off the top of my head, but I'm guessing you've done the usual Goodwood FoS/Revival etc.

Count me in.

I’m doing Goodwood Revival this year. @Cub. you could wear @Chuckles roadkill coat and fit in well.

 

[VXR killer]

Retro rides gathering-shelsley walsh is pretty decent.

edit.
Its at mallory park this year 18th september.

 

[Pauleds]

From a Hillclimb point of view Prescott is a good venue

Absolutely agree, it’s really local to me (I grew up in a village down the road) there are many owners club events and special races held there over the year. It’s genuinely excellent value and a decent day out. Plus be a reasonably nice drive from Bristol for you @Daniel

Peugeot sport owners club hold their ‘festival’ there each year. Depending on date I hope to go this year

Breakfast Sunday’s at Goodwood. They’ve just released the free rickets to Supercar Sunday on May 1st.

Not exactly off the beaten track but Caffeine and Machine is worth a visit, admittedly no where near you either Daniel.

Haynes breakfast is worth going to as others have said, and not so far for you. I'm going to the next one.

See you there, I'll be in the cup.

Santa Pod would be quite far but you could do it with Silverstone Museum and other local bits. The top fuel dragsters are epic to watch.

May have missed what's gone on, what's it having done?

It’s having the other half of the bodywork done. I had half of it done when I bought it but with a near £6k quote, I decided to split it in to 2 halves. 😂

Jeez, I don't blame ya. Days like today would be epic driving it.
