Saturday 24th may isn't it? Still not sure if I'll go, its a kings ransom in v power there and back. It is always a good show when I've been, if I do go I'll let you know and defo join in the convoy.

I just realized where it is, castle Combe !!!
Fellas, that is A LONG way away from me. 185 miles to be exact. Probably gonna give this a miss.
For starters your looking at a 6 hour round trip then on top of that the fuel. My car does about 18 to the gallon if I drive like a grandad, I'd be looking at £120 just in fuel.

Sorry fellas.

I think that will be the deciding factor for me as well. Shame as every time I've been its been an excellent show and really busy, although I wont miss the queue to get into the site!

I'm 99% sure I'll go to the drifting at Kings Lynn in a couple of weeks and of course japshow at santa pod (as long as its not raining). If people fancy a meet up to drive over to one of these I'm sure we can sort something

Yea convoy would be good fellas, just hope the weather is nice.

Anthracite,,, good choice. Will look really nice on your car buddy. Get it all done and bring it round, I've done a few bits to mine of late which I think you'll like.

To be honest if it looks like rain I don't bother with Santa Pod, theres only so much turbo jet giant hairdryer racing I can watch!

There is soooo much more on than 10000BHP jet cars doing 5s quarter miles.

Depending on start time/route I'm interested in tagging along (as I bought a ticket !).
