Hi All I'm not affiliated but am planning on going in the Magnum, it's £10 per car with all proceeds going to charity. On Sunday 6th July 2014 meeting from 08:45 at Martock Panelcraft, Unit 26 Martock Business Park, Martock, Somerset, TA12 6HB. Been advised it's best to book in advance more here :- retrofundraising.co.uk/ There are two routes to choose from one being a 10 mile round trip and the other 30 miles.  I've tried to get it on the Calender but perhaps I did something wrong as I can't see it - admin any pointers? Hope to see you there. Nick |

Although smaller, it's nice to see a road rally type event that's not all about running "bangers" into the ground!
Will check my diary and book! Poor Fiesta has got a few miles to cover this year with all my plans lol

I was unsure as to which vehicle I was going to take but as my Magnum has now passed it's MOT I'll be taking that. So all booked and paid for now. |

Nailsea, Bristol, about 1.5 - 2 Hours down the road from the event.
Just looking at Google maps and I think I'll go via the motorway rather than A37/A303, A37 can be a pain sometimes..

I think it was an 11am start last year... and its not too far a drive round, we live in Bridgwater about 30 mins away and were home by 3.30ish
If anyone would want to meet up we have quite a few going now, and could arrange to meet a services, so far would be:
Mini
MK1 Fiesta
BMW 5 series (i think)
Lowered Rav 4
Maybe a defender

I might book into this with the Marcos, need to get it MOT'd first as it hasn't seen the road since 1995 so don't want to assume it'll pass!
