Almost certainly, along with some other members of London South/Central.

Argh, just realised I promised to pick a friend up from the airport that day, so for the first time in many years I'll not make it.
Humbug etc...

What is it? racing, or just displaying your car?

[DAVIDMCCULLOUGH]

Its a display of Austin and Morris cars, heres ta link to the museum page.

I went over about 2 or 3 years ago and there was a great display of cars and the museum is also excellent. Unfortunately I lost all my pictures after a computer malfunction last year so Ive none to post up

Heres an old post from 2011 with pics

The hill is steeper than it looks! Gear-changing not advised!

A minor will do it in 2nd. I think I saw one try it in 3rd a few years ago, but had to go back down to 2nd near the top!

I'd quite like to run Bluey up the hill this year, if they'll allow it. 2 years ago they only allowed pre 1950 cars up. So last year I assumed it was the same rule, and didn't bother looking into it. Then was dismayed to see Minors and other 'newer' stuff going up. I missed my chance!

[dalebrignall]

we wont be going this year as we are flying to malta that day first time we have missed this for a long time have a great day .

[aupickup]

nor me this year

Only just spotted this, I'm going to try to make it - how does it work, do Minors (& other Austin Morrises get in to a main part or must they have pre-booked?

[JOWETTJAVELIN]

There is generally a get-together, a small road-run round the site and the group photo of all the cars on the famous Banking.

Plenty of Youtube videos of it all.

[MrDodo]

Good to meet everyone today

Yup was a good day out. Took 90 minutes to get there this morning and 4 hours to get back because of some problem with the Dartford Bridge. Just got in.

I wish I'd have read this posting earlier and gone up to second gear. At the briefing they told us not to but I'll know for next time.

[DAVIDMCCULLOUGH]

Great day out, even if it was a bit chilly! I got a new phone with panamora view on it so here are my first attempts......

Nice to see, what appeared to be, the only Allegro estate there!

[JOWETTJAVELIN]

Yes, but pride of place near the front!
