Jam Mad Posted July 4, 2002 Author Share Posted July 4, 2002 not sure i'm afraid kev, but i do know that the weekend crowds can be unbearable.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Septimus Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Absolutely agree about Friday being the best. I'll be going across country to Petworth and then over Duncton - absolutely the best place for overtaking! Might see you en route or whatever - mines very old , yellow - ali with of course flared wings because the unmentionables hadn't been invented then - Reg NFS 7G.

Jam Mad Posted July 4, 2002 Author Share Posted July 4, 2002 no idea yet i'm afraid noger... in fact i'm open to suggest about the best approach... deanteam.. you've rumbled me ! j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Kellar Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 I hope that those of you who are going (I'll be there on the Saturday) will pop along to the GPL (Gran Prix Legends) stall. A bunch of guys on a GPL forum have organised a stand to show off what a fully patched up version looks like, in an attempt to drum up interest amongst petrolheads so Papyrus do a new version. If you've never played GPL, expect to come away really wanting a tricked out PC and a force feedback wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Septimus Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 From Caterham and Brockham, you'll probably end up on the A24 and then going into Petworth on the A272. Petworth will be pretty busy and so we could meet on the A285 just South of Petworth, at, say Coultershaw Bridge and then go over the Downs in convoy. Alternatively, if anyone wants a slight detour, I would be happy for people to meet up at my place, which is off the A281 South of Guildford for coffee, brandy and other stimulants and we could take it from there.

wag Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 I am one of the lucky winners of the Classic Car magazine competition for a seat at the dinner on thursday and ticket for friday. I shall look out for you. Unfortunately, I am flying, not driving. How will we recognise each other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Thonger Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Hi Old Septimus I'll be there on Friday coming from Nutley along the A272. Want to suggest a time meeting at the junction of A24 and A272? Red/ali, SHU772G. See you there Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonwelton Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Hi, I shall be going on the Friday as well but travelling from Hertfordshire. Whats the parking like at Goodwood? My ticket says Gate 1 with a big G. Is it likely to be a muddy field? Will we all perhaps be able to park near each other (security in numbers)?

Old Septimus Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Lotus Pilotus, Glad to see another classicist on the thread. How would 0830 be? I believe the runs start at 1000 but I have to dig my 16 year old son out of bed and get down to the A24/272 junction. Old Septimus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Thonger Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Old S Sounds good - certainly don't want to leave it any later because the queue starts to build up even on Friday. And the longer you leave it, the further you have to walk! Late breakfast in the paddock. Si - last time, the field was large, flat and seemed well drained. I asked hte Lotus club this year about special parking for interesting cars but there doesn't seem to be any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Mad Posted July 5, 2002 Author Share Posted July 5, 2002 unfortunately, i don't have a map on me, so i can't see what route i would take. even if you do not plan to go on a run from caterham, it would be fantastic to be able to meet up somewhere so that we could all park together. j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Septimus Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 LP, if you prefer 0800, I'll really lean on the son and heir. I've previously parked in the car park near Molecombe(?) which you reach coming down the lane past the house with all the weird modern sculpture outside.

Rod Thonger Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 Hi Septimus Looking at Shamley Green heading south, how about the main street in Billingshurst as an easy to find compromise? Can't find Molecombe on any map, ancient or modern. 0815 to make it easier on both of us. My mobile is 07836 271429 if i remember to switch it on or can feel it vibrating. Look forward to seeing you and young Septimus. cheers/Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Mad Posted July 8, 2002 Author Share Posted July 8, 2002 so i'm assuming then that no one is interested in coming from caterham... i'll print out this thread and have a look at a map to see if i can hook up in billingshurst too, presuming that is the meeting point now. although i know the difficulty with getting the lad out of bed.. i'm just worried that by 0830 - 0900 the traffic jams will have set in.. and contrary to my acronym, i am not jam mad. wink.gif j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Elizabeth Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 Billingshurst works for me. I drive that way to work, so can do it whilst still asleep smile.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Dixon Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 I'm going Friday - leaving Redhill at around 8.30 am. No idea which way going yet but will involve A24. Various notes about meeting up somewhere but none seem to be conclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Rich_Bernie Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 I'm not able to go to Goodwood, however you really should make sure that your drive down takes in the run via Haslemere & Midhurst (A286 I think). Its a super stretch of road - at its best very early in the morning and followed by bacon sandwiches eaten to the tune of F1 engines warming up before proceedings begin.

Old Septimus Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 Yup, 0815 in Billingshurst High St is fine. Mobile 07778 734224. See you then. OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Thonger Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Great - see you then. Maybe also Noger, Jam Mad, Geoff and a few others. Rod PS - That's weird. My posting didn't go to the top. Any ideas why not? Edited by - lotus pilotus on 9 Jul 2002 22:44:47 PPS - I see it has now. Went back to forums and then back into chat.
