I'll probably have the Nello clan with me (Mrs Nello plus x2 Junior Nellos')....

Looks like its worth paying for tickets in advance :

Auto Italia Autumn Car Day

Admission Prices Advanced On The Day Adults £9 £11 Children (5-16yrs) £8 £10 Children (under 5yrs) FREE FREE Concessions (60 yrs+, unemployed or student) £9 £10 Family ticket (2 adults, 3 children) £28 £38 Track runs to be held at 12.00, 13.00, 14.00. A new date has been set for this popular late summer (previously Autumn) [...]


Not sure from where though? Maybe call Gaydon direct.... Track runs sound good. I've been on the old Airstrips years ago when they had the Rover Factory open days.

How about we organise a meet at the first services on the M42. Hopwood Park, J12 I think, we can then have a nice coffee and cake before we all leave smile

I suggest for those coming from the South or South West that we set up a convoy meet at Oxford Pear Tree services on the A34.

Pear Tree map

This is fed into by the A40, A44 from the west, and from the South or South West via A34 or A420 from M4.

I'm happy to meet here in the car park near the service area (not the hotel)

For me the most direct route would be East on the A44 but I'd be happy to go M5, M42, M40 if there's an organised early meet for coffee and dognuts smile

Google estimates it to be about 50 mins from Peartree via the A34/M40 (thats if the traffic is ok - can sometimes be a bit of a tricky junction between 9-10)

I suggest no later than 9am if we are getting there for 10am.

Probably be best to meet you at the East bound Hopwood services Reuben, the drive from mine isn't that interesting to be honest.
