Hello,

I'll be crossing the pond and visiting England and Scotland in late May up to June 20th. I was looking for something interesting (automotive related) to do while visiting. Unfortunately, it looks like im just gonna miss Goodwood.

I heard about the Scottish Rally, anyone recommend this?
Also, has anyone done ProdriveLive? Is it absurdly expensive?
I'd love to visit the Lotus factory or something, do they do any sort of tours?
Anything else to recommend? (cheaper is much better)

Can't wait to see all the cars I've been missing. I hope you all realize how lucky you are.

- Andrew

 

The Sunday Times Motor Show Live is on from the 27th of May to the 6th of June at the NEC in Birmingham.

Come to wales and i will take you for a cross country blast in my evo. You will love it mate.

 

haha, I'm open to any thirll rides anyone wants to give me, but i got to figure out where i am and when.

that car show sounds like a possibility though...

 

Visit Aston Martin, well worth the trip

 

Check out to see if there is a BTCC event, not sure of the event listing but I went to 4 last year and enjoyed them all. Do a search on 'tinternet for more info.

 

I agree, the touring cars are excellent, I go to Croft religiously for them, it's a good day all round with loads of different classes racing

 

Stock car racing in Somerset?

 

Hey Mate.

Come to the Northern Big One on the 13th of june Its in a place called Lightwater Valley. Which is near Rippon off the A1 it is Subaru Heaven mate last year over 400 cars turned up for the day and also Lightwater Valley is an amusemnt park with lots of rides for the kids so good for the whole family.

 

Triumph motorcycle factory in Derby
Motor museum at Castle Donnington race circuit
Motorcycle museum near the NEC, Birmingham
Oulton Park, Donnington and Cadwell all do regular events, see what you can find online.
Wymeswold airfield often to driver days, Lotus / Ferrari etc or drive your own. If anybody saw the black guy on the Leaner Drivers prog taking on his instructor in a Ferrari, am pretty sure this is where it was filmed, certainly recognised them passing the pub near Shepshed!

 

thanks for the suggestions...i'll let you all know how it goes.
