Hi Rob,

I think there's a track walk at 10 am, and I'll be aiming to get there for around 9.30. Can't wait - should be a great laugh on the day, and the unwind beers afterwards!

Look forward to seeing you guys there - will be taking lots of pics!!

Cheers

Darren

Hi Rob,

Looking at A34, M40 then probably M6 toll although I'm guessing its not going to be a fun journey!

Replied by Nello on topic Thank you from BROOKLANDS
Gutted I cannot make this Rob/Darren. Curboroughs only about 40 mins from me in Coventry and I go there with the Fiat Coupe Forum. As you can tell by the time of this reply I'm on nights at the moment and could not get the time off. Next time for sure!! Post some photos lads!

Just wanted to say a big thanks to Rob and Nick for attending Curborough on Friday. An absolute pleasure to meet you both and I hope to see you at an event again soon - NEC, AutoItali, etc etc. I'll keep you posted of any events we're attending or organising and it'll be good to see you again.

It was a fantastic day, with great weather, and lots of action. Lots of car hopping and I really enjoyed my rides in both your cars, as I hope you enjoyed your goes in mine and the other cars there. Keep an eye out in upcoming issues of PPC for pictures of the day and a Montecarlo article.

Can't post any pics from this iPad, but there are some on twitter and Facebook. Look for me as Darren Cooksey, also The Montecarlo Consortium, MSMR and Vivo Rosso on Facebook

Shame you guys couldn't stick around for the beers and curry in Rugeley later, where it got silly! I'll see if I can put some pics up when I'm I front of the pc.

Not long to our next event, the End of Term Bash in Stafford mid October, where we have a large get together and AGM, and a lot more silliness no doubt!

Finally, Rob/Nick, drop me a pm if you need contact details to sort anything out with Chris from the event. Rob, you still interested in acting as a liaison for the club? Let me know and we'll see if we can get you forum access.

Cheers

Darren

Here's my fave pic of the day - didn't take many shots as I was either car hopping or driving!
