Any thoughts out there as to what other events are coming up that may be of interest to the Stratos community? If there's enough notice and the events seem relevant, then maybe the turn-out can be improved.

I do realise that some of the cars are taken off the road through the wetter and darker months, but there are also a lot that continue in use whatever the weather. As for my car, it's off the road at the moment as the MOT expired and I haven't put in the time to get it through the test (needs some fannying around with the ropey Wilwood handbrake caliper). And I see little point in getting a test, and new road tax, if I don't expect to get to use the car. But hopefully that situation should soon change. :(

I gather that AutoItalia will be having another Autumn meet at Brooklands, which I think is to be held in October. Not on the same scheme as their weekend events, but I think it usually attracts a good range of Italian cars. I need to verify the date and the entrance price, etc, so if anyone knows that already then please post it here.

I was going to mention this already, but I've been a bit pre-occupied the last couple of days.

Mark Chapman will be competing in the WORLD CUP Rally, which goes from England to Greece, finishing in Athens.

The start is at Blenheim Palace on October 5th, but I don't know the time yet.

I plan to take my Stratos up there to see Mark off, and it would be excellent if a few more cars came too.

Anyone fancy going?

I'd be interested in coming along (as its about 10 minutes away) so please post any useful information you have...

Cheers

Andrew (still patiently waiting for my kit).:(

John,

Thanks for those links.

I'll try and get times from Mark tonight.
