I hate the m4 with a passion, must know every bump and traffic cone to the m25 from bristol! Makes the m5, m40 m42 route like driving nirvana!

Joe, could meet you and Phil somewhere on that route?

No problems think I owe you a few coffee's by now.my round...for anyone who meets us a hopwood....**

**coupedummy's round consists of regular coffee,tea's and hot chocolates. None of this expensive fancy latte,mocha choco crap.**

lol

Why couldn't this be on a sunday

Because it is the Belgian GP at Spa?

Ok here's my proposal for anyone joining the convoy going North on the M5, we'll meet on the roundabout above the M5 at junction 7 for 7.30am, Hopwood services is then only 30 minuets away so we'll be there in plenty of time for coffee with Reuben

I rekon that sounds like plan

That's fine with me.
It looks like I'll be bringing my 2 daughters as well.

Sorry if this subject has already been brought up but is anyone doing the track run?

Sounds good to me Joe.

Reuben, I'll happily pay the mocca premium for me

James - shall I meet you on Kellaway avenue at 6.45, to give us time to get to J7 on the M5? Just after Wellington Hill west towards the Gloucester Road?

I'll be bringing my 5 year old daughter and 4 year old lad along for the day, so hopefully they can keep each other entertained, so won't just be you like at Brooklands!

Didn't know there was one Mart?

That's good. Mine are 3 and 7. I thought I saw that there are some other children coming too so hopefully they can have a good day.

Well according to the website (and i may be missing an obvious point here) but the website says there are tracks runs to be had

http://www.heritage-motor-centre.co.uk/event/auto-italia-autumn-car-day/

Down sides are it costs and is limited to 70mph and 3 laps??

Ooh I have driven a jag round this a few years ago.

See it's £20 for 3 laps, but where does it mention the 70mph limit? The straight is about a mile and a half long and with all the machinery there that day that'll be torturous!

It's done behind a pace car anyway.

You going to do it Pete?

Is anyone going to do it in fact?!

Back in 2007 on the same day I think a few people said that the pace car peeled off at some point and most of the cars then booted it and got the chance to do a maximum speed run. I guess this is down to the individual running it on the day?

£20 for three laps aint bad considering the track is 3.7 miles long

Is anyone coming from/through/near high wycombe?

If you click on 'track run booking form' it says it in there!
It also says its £30 but on the website it says £20??

You could meet us at Peartree at 8am?
It only adds about 13 minutes to your journey.

Sounds good to me, didn't realise it was that close. See you there at 8.

I'm not going to be able to come now.
Hope to see you all at the next event.

I may also have to skip,trying my hardest not to though...

Im double booked to do some crucial overtimes in brum...trying to get out though..will know friday for definant
