4th May Brands Hatch - Transaxle gathering

Post by andywatson »

Any of you transaxle guys interested in a meeting at Brands Hatch? A couple of the guys are competing in the PCGB championship and we are getting together to have a day out and give some support.

We are aiming to arrive early park on the south bank, have breakfast at Hailwoods, before wandering around the paddock meeting the drivers and watching the racing.

Hopefully we can get a good turnout.
Have Fun

Thats a possibility as I may be heading back from Germany and just getting back into Dover that morning. An easy detour into Brands to break up the journey home.

Threw a couple of buckets of water over the car and it should now be ready for a trundle to Brands Hatch tomorrow. See you all on the South Bank!

For those unfamiliar with Brands you hang a right immediately after getting in the main entrance and then follow that road around over two bridges, hang a left after the second bridge and trundle down hill until you reach an area with panoramic views of the circuit.

Andy & Glenn,

I'm going to have to 'cry off' tomorrow... I've got a return of the neck problem every time I drive the old girl at the moment so I'm sidelined for now :(
