Thoughts and Ideas Please

Hi all,

I have had a great time at the rolling road day that we attended yesterday and wondered what other events you would like to attend?

I am open to suggestions

I wonder how many may be interested in a track day?

Karting would be fun for some of us. How about maybe varying the pub slightly every so often. The Hollow Tree is fantastic but it may be nice to have a "tour" out somewhere.

Maybe even a blackpool trip or a convoy through the illuminations or something? I know it's a long while off but it's an idea.

I wouldn't mind carting - not really interested in a trackday, as don't want to give my car that much stick for a prolonged period. Trackdays are better for trackcars, that way you screw them up, that's what they're there for!!

I like the convoy through the illuminations idea - easy for me to get to!

yes i would think a tour would be far better than a trackday..i used to do trackdays in a MG ZS..had a clutch go on me once and i used it for everyday use..the lakes or wales possibly???

Well if you want a trip out,the "Classics at the Marina" will be on again soon,up here in Hartlepool Marina.Classic cars & pubs for your perusal,& shops, Museum for all the family.I will post the date soon,usually in April.Worth considering,only a couple of hours from you chaps.

Keep an eye on the N.E meets section,& if enough interest,i'll put a thread up on your region.

that could be possibly turned into a weekend jaunt if anyone would be interested as some wouldn't want to do the whole trip in one day,local accommadation could be found
