Fantastic news

Are we going to try and keep a Spring gathering of some sort?

Are we going to try and keep a Spring gathering of some sort?

What about a casual meet - somewhere like Gaydon or Duxford

Prof · March 20, 2013, 11:54:23 AM

or a spring \'run\', head to or meet somewhere ?

Shame I missed the last Spring meet at Brooklands then - seems to have been a landmark. Slight case of being full of cold and having no car yet :2Rolleyes

Seemed strange to have a Prof free Brooklands!

I wonder if a meet up or run to this: http://motorsportatthepalace.co.uk/ would be good next year?

Quote from: clive;853794This means the Spring Rotorshow is dead but long live the Brooklands Mazda Day :cool

Glad to hear there will be some sort of Brooklands day. We did give some sort of example for the next Brooklands Mazda day with the all new Mazda6 luckely I don\'t have to change the piston engine for a rotary though.:Giggle

Thanks a lot Brett for the photos and info.

To check I\'ve got this right, I\'m just going to re-post Brett\'s pics of the winner of each category: (hope you don\'t mind Brett

)

Quote from: clive;853581Best Old Skool was Brett\'s Montrose "Rotary" :confused::Giggle

Best Gen 1 was a real nice guy and his wife at their first event with us with his gorgeous Green Gen one that had been pampered all its life :Thumbs-up

Best Gen 2 was Greg R3 with his cab that he had been rightly itching to show in its new guise :Thumbs-up

Best Gen 3 was Kevin (Kevint) with his beautiful, stock many years owned FD :cool

Best Gen 4 Was some weirdo with a yellow RX-8 and if you look closely you can see Lisa working his strings:Giggle

Best of Show was the much travelled supporting MRC events, Chris (CJR) with his hugely modded 3rd Gen :3Confused

About the only pic I took, of the evocative banking. Amazing to think of people wrestling aero-engined racing cars here at 100mph+. Not as steep as Monza, but the bowl shape and the width makes it feel great.

Bit of a shame we (obviously) can\'t have a trackday here, but it\'s great we could gather our rotaries on such storied ground, and well done to the club leaders for securing another event next year :Thumbsup!

How slippery was the moss?

Brett · March 21, 2013, 10:03:00 PM

I was too wet and lazy :Giggle

I think this is the star of Mercedes Benz World

CLK GTR Roadster, there were only 6 road cars built and only this one RHD, it was at the very back corner of the 2nd floor

That\'s where we spent most of the day so didn\'t put the pics up as non-rotary! :Giggle

I did notice a car parked right up on the banking at MB World - I hope he had a good hand break! :eek
