That's only about 4 miles from where I live and I am free on that day, so count me in as long as the weather doesn't stop me from getting
there.

I'm a bit far away from you and don't have anything interesting on the road at present (despite owning 8 cars). I have always wanted to do
some charity car based events and your idea has given me another avenue to look into so thank you for that and best of luck with your event.
I am sure that everyone involved (patients and car owners) will have the greatest buzz, there is nothing like doing something for someone else to
give you that satisfaction and feel good factor.
Hope you have a great day and keep us all informed of how it goes (pictures are a must) it will help to give others, like myself, more encouragement
to do similar events for others less fortunate.
I take my hat off to you Sir, you are a true gentleman.

hello all,
sorry for the delay in updates. One of the service users passed away last week unexpectedly so all this sort of thing has been on hold.
Anyway. I've done a quick drive around and its worth having a look at the map here: http://binged.it/1Cwiivy
If you are coming from the south of Nottingham :
In a kit car, or anything slightly lower than normal its worth avoiding Wigman Road as it has five or six really horrible speed bumps. (i used to
catch the exhaust on my standard MG260 quite badly on them) Aspley Road is a better bet.
If you are coming from the South or just via the M1 its a very easy five minute drive from junction 26 via the A610 and Woodhouse Way.
Best regards
paul

Has a suitable meeting time been arranged yet? Morning suits me best but can be flexible

I thought that we had settled on 1pm - at least that's what I thought and when I'm planning on turning up.
By the way, I'm just down the road from you in Eastwood.

headway April 2015
Great afternoon out and a good turn out. The folk at the centre really seemed to get something out of it and we had an excuse to drive our cars on a
nice sunny afternoon for a good cause. It was also good to meet fellow locostbuilders in the area.
My only down side was the misfire that developed on the way. I managed to get the car to limp home and I think that I've traced the problem to
a loose connector (at least, I remade the connection and it runs ok now). I just need to get some mileage under my belt to regain confidence and to
make sure that I've not done any permanent damage by driving it on less than the regulation number of cylinders.

thanks to everyone who could make it. A great days weather and a lovely afternoon with the cars.
Michael from headway has just sent this which i wanted to pass on:
Just a quick message to say a HUGE thank you to you, Jon and all the people who came along. Everyone loved seeing and being around the cars and how
fortunate were we with the weather too...
I am extremely grateful to them all for giving up their time and making our day!! Its not everyday we get to see people walk away with big smiles and
yesterday was one of those rare days!
Please can you pass on my thanks officially from Headway Nottingham to them all.
Thank you so so much again
Michael

I'm gutted I couldn't make it, sorry guys looks like you had a good turnout and a great time meeting up and showing off the cars! I
don't think I would have been able to get there running on only two cylinders - still unsure if I will make it to the Stoneleigh kit car show
