Event in Dorset

[V8S]

Hello all,

 

I am organising an event in Dorset for members of the website Pistonheads.com, in aid of the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance.

 

This will take place either on 21st June and / or 19th July at a stately home and last for around 4 hours.

 

We have a large variety of machinery attending including Lamborghinis, Ferraris, TVRs, Porsches, Lotuses, Aston Martins etc but I thought it would be fun to cast the net a little wider and see if one or two interesting military vehicles fancied mixing in - Willys jeep, scout cars, APC, one of the 6 wheel amphibious things (sorry, I'm not an expert).

 

As the venue will be anxious to maintain their grounds, I would ask only for non-tracked vehicles.

 

The format is turn up and park, chat, lunch at the venue and look around the gardens/ house, charity raffle, 1 hour drive around the Dorset countryside (swiftly - the cars are almost all performance) then probably back to the venue for a last chat and then leave.

 

If anyone is interested, could they post on here with what they have and which of the dates they can make?

 

Thanks.

I'm not sure if the Lambo owners would fancy driving behind a 6 wheel and very slow Jimmy in the Road Run.

Hi Joris - that is the one problem.

 

Obviously it depends on whatever the vehicle is capable of and whether the owner thinks they will keep up.

 

If a few MVs come (max 10 I reckon) perhaps they would wish to do the road run on their own, or remain at the venue for more chatting.

Dingo and Ashley - you should have had private messages, but I'm not sure it worked as there's nothing in my Sent Messages folder on here.

Ashley - I think I just thanked you for the email address you sent me.

 

Not heard back from Dingo either so I assume that message didn't go through either.
