    Italian cars at the Motorist - 19 August

    One of the regular car meets at the Motorist features Italian cars on 19 August. https://www.themotorist.com/event-items/c43hpz6726tw3f5mzc94pnl6j7maez I’m popping along in the morning if anyone else fancies it. Otherwise I’ll be the one decent car in a sea of lowered Abarths and wonky donkeys.

    Ferrari Purosangue

    First official images and info released tonight. It looks like a Ferrari I think and I might be tempted if I was in the market for a £300k+ SUV - sorry it's not an SUV apparently. https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/first-official-pictures/ferrari/purosangue/

    Sports cars in the park - Newby Hall, Ripon - 8 May

    This is always a pretty good and well attended show in a lovely location in North Yorkshire. They had sorted previous problems with getting in and also clamped down on the rev offs and loud music last year so it was a good event. Newby itself is a very pleasant place to spend a Sunday with...

    SPORTSCARS IN THE PARK, Newby Hall, North Yorks - 1 August 2021

    After many delays and cancellations, SCITP is up and running again taking place as above. It's always a massive show with some interesting metal (both good and bad!) there in a lovely setting. Getting in can be lengthy although they claim to have sorted this out this year. They also say they are...

    NORTH OF ENGLAND MEET? 22nd JULY 2021

    Thought I would gauge interest in a gathering in the north(ish) so I'll put forward a proposal for Thursday 23rd July starting late pm/early evening. The date is purely selfish as a day that I can do! A number of us went here https://www.3acres.com a few years ago and it's got a big car park...

    Yorkshire Motorsport Festival - 25-27 June

    https://ymsf.net/ First year for this but it looks like it might be a good event. As I posted on the 2021 Events thread, I've enquired about the car club displays. They want at least 5 cars there each day from 8.30-5.30 (4.30 on Sunday) at a reduced cost of £10 per ticket. Alternatively, you...

    Another new Maserati for 2021

    Only somewhat less sexy. Anyone any idea how to pronounce the name? https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/first-official-pictures/maserati/grecale/

    Another event bites the dust

    ITCAM 4, NEWBY HALL; 2 June 2019

    Anyone else fancy this again? It's always a very enjoyable day and much quieter than Sportscars in the Park. Gates open at 10.30am and it's a tenner on the gate.

    Yorkshire meet - 28 April

    Picking up on a different thread about the lack of meetings in this part of the world, Nick (FF1078) and I have been chatting about trying to get something going. So we are suggesting a meeting on Sunday 28 April either in the Dales probably including Buttertubs at some point or the North Yorks...

    Le Mans camping

    Just found out that Speed Chills who we usually camp with at Le Mans isn’t doing it next year. Apparently they are doing Glastonbury instead! (EDIT: got the wrong end of the stick - there's some random thing about Glastonbury in their excuse). Anyone got any recommendations for on track camping...

    Northern meet - 5/6 May

    It's a while since we had a northern (England!) meet so I thought I would see what the appetite would be. It's Cars in the Park at Newby Hall near Ripon on 6th May which is always a good day out so I'm thinking a day in the Dales on the Saturday, stay over somewhere and then to Newby on the...

    Yorkshire mini meet - 6 August

    Planning on having a run out into North Yorks on 6 August (weather permitting). I'm thinking maybe up to Sutton Bank and perhaps Helmsley and then cross country towards Castle Howard and A64 back to Leeds. Be good to meet up with anyone who fancies it - maybe meeting in the car park at the...

    Italian car and motorcycle event - 5 June.

    New event taking place at Newby Hall on 5 June being organised by AROC Yorkshire branch. I've been in touch with the organiser and he is keen to see plenty of Maserati there. http://www.italiancarsandbikes.co.uk/ You need to buy your own tickets as per Cars in the Park but he would like...

    Cholmondeley Power and Speed

    I'm going to go to this on the Saturday (11th June) but looking on the website I noticed that there is the opportunity for car clubs to have a display area. It costs nothing and you get guaranteed parking close to the track as well as a 25% discount on tickets (£20 instead of £26). If you...

    Cars in the Park - Newby Hall, near Ripon, 8 May 2016

    Quite a few of us turned up to this last year, including the Nantwich Foghorn, who scared the sheep in a major way (with his exhaust!!). CITP is a very relaxed event held in the grounds of a country house in North Yorkshire, not far off the A1. The house itself is quite interesting and there...

    Noisy beggars

    Just found this from when Benny, Stewart and I went to Falcon Manor in Settle in Sept. Some noisy oik in a Spyder around 5 mins, the 8C around 6 mins and Stewart and me around 8. http://youtu.be/ACA28sris_A

    Visit to the Vulcan

    Thought I would start a new thread on this to make it easier. There seemed to be a bit of interest in a visit to Doncaster to see the plane itself so I've been on to the Vulcan to the Sky people. We can book to get exclusive access to the hanger with a tour provided that at least 20 people...

    Cars in the Park, Leeds - 27 September

    After a good SM turn out at the CITP event in May, the next one is being held on 27 September at Lotherton Hall. It's not as big as the Newby one but was very pleasant last year and some interesting cars there. Lotherton is just off J47 of the M1 so easily accessible. Book as Leeds Supercar...
