When was the last time you guys did an official rally? Was it 2010?
Any chance it'll happen again?
I know many of the guys now have track prepped G40's. But for those that have standard (ish) G40's it might be nice to get a few together for a blast.

No reason why it can't.
reason it hasn't in the past is we normally did it before Tatton Park Vw North West. However the day before has been club polo track days - so not done both.
In addition a few of the Club G40 organisers (me, Sam, Hayesey, dknight? have been very busy (Houses/children/wives)
If you want to coordinate something Andy, feel free in the name of clubg40, doesn't have to be a moderator/admin!

Ah I see. I figured "life commitments" may have played a part in it. Clashing with the club polo track day seems a logical reason though.
I don't mind helping organise a run if there is any interest?
It seems that life has taken hold of play time though. Looking to buy a house this year, along with other commitments myself. So would need to be sure that there is enough interest.
Also living in the land of the turnip farmers means I lack knowledge of decent roads in the northern sector; I may need some help in coordinating a route etc. (might not be the best person to plan the route ;D).
I am happy to help with admin etc however.
So as a feeler to guage interest; is there any?
-
I'm certainly interested in this, be good to have a meet up
-
Interested in any g40 meet! Lots of people on here I haven't met!
-
:) Id be up for it I reckon
-
I'd be up for it too, depending on where and when.
I'm sure our resident motoring hack would have some good suggestions for decent roads if we fancied a change.
-
I am keen
-
I'd be game for this as well.
-
James when's that rolling road day?
-
I think thats the 1st feb. Need to check club polo really but i dont really go on there much. Im leaving portsmouth on the friday for good mate so wont be down your way from then.
-
Yeah the Club Polo Rolling road day is on the 1st Feb at Aldon Automotive :)
Would be nice to see some G40's there. Seems mostly 1.4 16v's at the moment! :D
-
Ah man that sucks :( will you be coming to aldon? I want to go but my G will get laughed at :(
-
Mark could you post some times and prices?
I will be going to it taylor.
-
I'd be up for this. I'll have a head scratching session about decent routes, but most of the good ones I know about are in Wales or on the Continent and start at an airport.
Might pop in on the Club Polo RR day to see what my car's making with the new exhaust...
-
Well that's at least half a dozen interested. Which would be worthwhile. My younger brother has been in Sheffield at uni the past few years and was speaking enthusiastically about snakes pass; he broke an ARB mount 4's up in his lowered 1.4 6N2 whilst enjoying this route ;D
It's a fair trek for me from turnip farming land, but it'd be worth it to drive some nice roads and enjoy some different scenery.
-
Sure.. RR day info :)

cheers

Snake pass an woodhead bypass as awesome roads but they are a lil scary if you dont know them an you want to drive at speed. Kills lots of people each year unfortunately
-
Sounds good to me gaz! Can't be as mental as the Swiss roads with no railings
-
Who said anything about driving at speed? :D
-
we'd normally take in the cat and the fiddle... and a route between snake pass and woodhead called 'the strines'
-
It would be good to do this again. I will hopefully have a bit more time in the summer to help organise this if there is enough interest. A change of venue might be good but as Pete says the peaks was an obvious choice so we could good to Tatton afterwards. If there is another event we could gatecrash somewhere else in the country but go for a bit of a drive the day before that would be fine too. It would be handy for the route master to have some good local knowledge of the good roads too if its elsewhere in the country. Best to do it in the summer too so we can all camp somewhere and have a few beers in the evening!
Heres some photos from previous years.

-
Id be game.
-
Id be up for it also
-
Well the day before tatton park is August 2nd.
-
I'd be up for this too, round my way so sounds good!
-
Sounds like a good idea, bit north though! Also have to get the car sorted, wouldn't want to turn up running like a bag of balls.

who's is that handsome looking white g40 with the white painted bumper? :o ;D :D
I / we'd be up for this again...
I imagine there will be a few wanting to go in non-polo's though, because they've sold up :D...
