well, I for one would like to have a look!

Any chance you'd be able to take us to a decent public house at the end so we can all have some grub before we all go our seperate ways?

I've just tried to ring Gaydon and the didn't pick up. But having had a root around on the Website the 4th May is also the landrover 60th year do so there should be lots going on, if they let us have somewhere to park!

If the "doors can be opened" - I'm keen. Can we look and buy or just look? I'd love to try on a sunvisor?

I think we could arrange a tour, tea/coffee, loo's and a shop if you like, might even have my arm twisted for a 'small 'discount.

There is a good pub at the end of our road, it has a beer garden and does home cooked food inc puddings,local beer too.
The rolling road is just 2 mins away from us so maybe worth considering.
They do need 10 cars to attend at the rates previously mentioned. :D

I can not find it either, has it been deleted ??. Anyway a basic check over and a power run is £25. A compression oil and other pre run checks and set up check plus a rolling power run ,adjust set up etc followed by another power run would be £50 plus any parts ie jets needles etc.
Good value in my book.
If anyone else is interested I'll need to know pretty soon so I can ask SMMC rolling road to book the Sunday. As said before we need 10 cars minimum

I can't really commit to the rolling road session at this point, sorry. Would be interested in the JLH tour though...

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.

So I can come in the Land Rover then? :wink: I suppose the missus and me could bring one each - draw the shortest straw and you have to drive the Landy..... Way things are going with vehicle reliability at the moment, I'll end up towing a Minor there with the Land Rover, which at least is better than the other way round :roll:

Right,

I am having a heck of a job trying to get in touch with Gaydon, I've left numerous messages and been promised callbacks from the events team, but nothing.

So, if I can't arrange somewhere for us all to park together is everyone still up for coming? I guess that we can cheekily colonise a section of car park if need be! :lol:
