Rest & Be Thankful

 

[PeterR]

This is a very quiet thread.... suffice to say I shall be taking my GTD there. Long way from Edinburgh, must be all of 60 miles! Any one else going with a similar car?

 

[Dave Bilyk]

Peter, yes I am going in my Dax - third time as it's relatively local for me and a very friendly event. Scenery is awesome and it's well run with a good variety of v8 focused cars. If you look on the cdc Facebook page you will see some of the other entrants, but there always seem to be more on the day.

 

[PeterR]

Excellent! I look forward to meeting you there Dave. I am still under the impression the GT40s are a threatened species in Scotland...

 

[Andrew S]

Won't have the wheels on in time but targeting it for next year !
Don't see many on the road up here.

Andrew

 

[Dave Bilyk]

Peter, yes I look forward to meeting you too. There are more 40s than you think in Scotland. It would be good to get them together right place right time could be at this event!

Andrew, I've never seen one either, but there have been a few posters on this forum, one further north came on the road last year I think. Good luck with yours, next year could be a good aiming point for you.

[Ian Anderson]

Must say I think I may drive up for this one

About 400 miles each way will make a fun weekend
Need to try and get away early from a wedding on the Friday!

[Stew Adam]

Guys, Great event not to be missed...

The run over the Dukes pass is on a stunning drivers road. I was lucky enough to get a tow from the Ferrari GTO last year!!!

I will know this weekend if I can make it Bill.

Gents

Dave & Peter already entered

I am expecting 2 x 2006 Ford GT's too, maybe three !!!

Ian/Stewart, I hope you can both make it.

Ian, I can advise on good hotels close to the event start.

Andrew, come along and spectate, I'm sure someone will give you a "blast" up the Rest in their 40

regards

Bill

 

[Ian Anderson]

Thanks Bill

My brother lives close and I will be able to get a family room from him, just the other side of family organising the wedding could pose a problem

Thanks
Ian

I will not make it this year, wedding plans and family friction if I slope off early put paid to my plans

Perhaps next year

I will be showing my CAVGT40 along with a friend with his Cheatah, hopefully I can get more people to bring their cars, they usually have a good turn out and some really neat cars show up, plus the facility and grounds are spectacular, hope to meet some of you gt40 guys from the Island, thanks, Neville Nesbitt.
