We've decided to visit Brooklands for Drive It Day this year, a round trip of around 360 miles. Where will everyone else be on the day?

Taking big Dodge out for a spin, then parking up and spectating on a classic lorry road run before heading home again, fingers crossed.

On a ferry to France to start our 8 week Euro-tour, which will also take in the European Classic Caravan Rally in Belgium. So not only will be driving our Classic Range Rover LSE, we'll be towing our unique Royale Rangemaster caravan.

Same as every Sunday at the moment - driving the 20 miles to a pub for lunch (no alcohol consumed at any time when I am driving) then the 20 miles home again

I have the same rule - could probably have one without side-effects, but don't want to tempt fate.

Our club is going to Sleap Airfield, don't know if I'll be on the trip or not yet.

Hope to go there sometime, I read they have a small collection of aviation artefacts on display?

Looks like it's the MX5 Owners Club actually parking inside the paddock and around the hangers that day with the historics and classics parking across the river on the Mercedes Benz World site.

I may look at joining the Hagarty Insurance classic run from Silverstone to the Heritage Museum at Gaydon.

I'll be stuck at work in China - avoiding anything to do with driving, being driven or even crossing the road Shocked

It is very scarey over here......fast cars, plenty of them and no road sense at all in most cases.

Cheers

If anyone would like to join us PM me. There'll be Riley RMs, Standards etc.

On the 27th April Stroud has a Classic Car show to die for. It's called Wheel Nutz and between 600-1000 cars turn up depending on the weather, all different makes and all to raise money for a Special School, so a very good cause and an amazing turn out of the most interesting cars.

Entry is about £1 and sausage and chips £2.50, so ridiculous value. I'm sure everyone would happily pay more to help the kids.

I do hope I can tempt some of you to visit Stroud for this one.

I'm nothing to do with the Show, just a fan!

Will be doing the NNCVC organised run from Sheringham to Old Buckenham airfield where they are having a wings & wheels event. Always a good run and with luck I'll be in the TR6.

I will be taking my Morris 8 Two Seater to Summerlee Industrial Museum in Coatbridge Lanarkshire. There is always an excellent gathering of enthusiasts with a fine mixture of cars. The museum itself is also well worth a visit.
