    Smile VPCUK event in SE please!

    OK so it is a long shot, but would be good to have a RWYB or trackday here in the SE (Kent, Essex, Surrey, Sussex). Brands looks a bit pricey : http://www.clubmsv.co.uk/car-home/ev...?productid=106 but any ideas welcomed.
    Any other Southerners out there???

    It's a funny day as well - a thursday evening - but something like that would be good if only it were a little less pricey.

    Thruxton???? The country's fastest circuit.... Does track days but have no idea on how much but for those in the sussex/kent etc area would be a mission to get too.... I'd be up for either depending on price.... I'm from Basingstoke, north Hampshire by the way and up for a meet somewhere.

    I'm thinking on it. A Brighton Madiera Drive meet up might be good, but equally could do a Brands meet up at a race event, or for that matter a meet at the Blackheath Tea Hut and all die of salmonella...
    Bluebell Railway, Margate, even do a Sunday morning cruise through the City. Whatever.
    Anytime anyone passing thru SE9, give us a text on 07970 698480 and see if I'm around to call in for a brew.
