Hi,
I\'m from Melbourne, Australia and am planning a trip to London on the 27 July to 7 August. I have an FC RX7 Turbo and am absolutley keen to meet up with some fellow RX7 owners. I\'ve had a browse through the events section but couldn\'t really find much ie car meets, weekly meets. Are there weekly meets that take place? So I can have a look around.
I will be going to the Silverstone classic held at Silverstone, I\'m sure it
will be great, have any of you ever attended?
Are there any other major car events that I should be aware of during my stay?
Are there any rotary performance workshops that are worthwhile visiting
Also are there any places where I could get some performance car parts. ie
strut brace, coilovers ect.
Anything else I should be aware of?
Sorry for all the questions, I\'m just keen on getting everything organised
before I venture over.
Thanks for your help
Regards Liam.
Hi Liam,
Sadly we dont have an MRC event in that period but stick another post up a little nearer the time and we will see whats on for you.
I have converted you to a guest as we now do with all of our overseas forum members so people will be able to PM you to meet up when your here.
Hey thanks for your help, I will definatley post up closer to the date when I\'m coming over. :)

Hey Stu, I\'d do that for you but you gotta organise an RX7 meet/cruise when I get up there, so I can check out some quick rx\'s :)
Tein stuff for 100 quid, get out!
Lob me some in ;)
Silverstone on the Sat. 29th July looks like a good day out.
