Thanks Ben, I really wanted to go to the hill climb school after missing the last one due to work commitments. Unfortunatly the wife decided I would be picking up guests at the airport and taking them on a tour of London on July 13th! The event on the 18th looks like a plan, anyone else interested?

The (Festival of Speed) 2010 theme is currently being finalised and will be announced in the coming weeks.

I believe this is "Cars, Stars and Guitars" with appearances by ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons with the Boyd Coddington CadZZilla, Jeff Beck plus associated hot rods and Jimmie Vaughn at least...

Would love to attend, but could only do the Saturday.

Bump!
Dont forget you have loads of choices this weekend!
We have a pretty good group for Elvetham, the Drag Challenge is always a great day out and a chance for fame and glory, and if you've never seen a hill climb Gurston is the place to be with our very own Ben S kicking ass and taking names!​
