Default Who's travelling the furthest..??

Just today i've decided to do something a little daft for a change, i'm gonna drive roughly 280 miles each way just so i can see some of the 'northern' cars that never seem to come too far south..... i'll be leaving Dorset at roughly 6am, to get to Elvington hopefully by 11am...... then leave when i've had enough and do it all again.... but in reverse.. not literally.... but you get my drift!!

Ron...

ps, won't be competing, just spectating!


Also, is there a list of traders that'll be there anywhere... i need to know how fat to make my wallet before i leave..

if anyone is travelling a distance and needs info/directions or B+b's etc then there is some info on the totb site about the venue and local hotels.

Shaun will be posting up details of traders at the show nearer the time and we'll soon have a trophy/prize list up on the site for people.

Ron - I think it is 300 miles from Portsmouth - I did it last year, set off at 4 am ready to sign on at 8am and start sprinting. Then drove home at 3 and arrived at 8

Oh and I went to Japfest the day before

This year, I'll be staying somewhere the night before though

from a quick glance at the list of entrants, there is 5 cars coming from northern ireland. No idea how far it is, but its a leave on saturday morning and home on monday. But will be well worth the trip!

It's a shame it's such a long way as I would be tempted to go.
I don't think I could put up with a Blitz exhaust for all that time.
