BorniteIdentity Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 They will likely be ok with it. Just don’t ask where @purplebargekenhad to park his Raver 45! purplebargeken, SiC and Fumbler 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busmansholiday Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 A mere 73 miles each way apparently, ideal for a roof down day in the 206cc. Well, if it was pre '96, which it isn't, so I'd have to get the 'B Roadster fettled up, and as it's not done 73 miles in a year for some time, let alone a day, and the last time it did that sort of distance in a single day was over 15 years ago when BiL owned it, and it caught fire............

HMC Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Obviously it’s an age thing; but I’d also like it if any car meriting greater than a contemporaneous equivalent of a what car 3 blob rating was banned from entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMC Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Although unexceptional could also mean simply popular/ commonplace and that doesn’t necessarily mean its an unexceptional car per se. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just over 100 miles and on fairly slow roads so easily doable in the Renault 6, or the Innocenti if I have it back on the road by then. And I'll have long since had my second Covid jab so won't have that to worry about. No chance you want company on the trip - seeing as you will drive right past my door and I don't have suitable chod for this event..... Well I do have a ex mini cab from the 90's but I somehow think it might not cut the mustard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how stringent they are on those dates, however, as there's a 2000 Seicento in one of their pictures. Anyhow I'm going to try to get there some way, no excuse given its only in Lincolnshire. My 1997 Saab 9000 got in a couple of years back... you’ll be fine!

The Vel-Satis would I’m sure be welcome in the display chod park because of its very nature. They are quite flexible about what goes in, but Ken had no dice with his Rover 45. beko1987 and Dan_ZTT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your 2nd bit makes sense though, alot depends on who waves you through the gate and how big the smile is as he clocks your car I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borsuq Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I'll definitely try to make it there. Really hoping to be able to drive the Polonez over, but that's still up in the air.

I really hope so, I consider all my cars exceptional, I may be the only person who does but that is the point for me, your car should be something that makes you happy to look at, sit in and drive otherwise why own it? I see no point in having a car just to impress other people. None of my cars are concours, I like cars that look used but cared for.
