Gurston Down/ Downton hillclimb Day
Turbo Mini Forums

If the weathers o.k. I'll be going.

I will be taking mine up the hill:)

Edit: I still need to get my engine set up, so that may be happening 2 days before.

Bugger me

Ive just realised how close this is

Driving down on an unproven, unset up car could be interesting

Think ill be there for this!!

Nice and close, sounds good

Sunday the 7th at gurston is going to be demo runs by some race,rally and some rare not seen very often minis so come on down for both days

So is anyone camping for this? I am trying to decide whether to or not, if theres a few people about I assume people will be getting the beers in that evening. I could really do with putting some more names to faces.

Think i'll just go down for sunday.

Its not a MASSIVE drive so might aswell get some inspiration.

I think we're just going to be doing saturday, that may change to camping too, but i doubt it

Hmm could be tempted by this! It isn't a too bad a drive for me...

Make it happen

Saturday it is then! Leaves me to use the inspiration on Sunday.

For all of you thinking of driving the course this might me worth a read.

Who's still up for going to this?

From the forecast ive just seen on google, the weather doesnt look too clever!!

I think given that weather forcast my runs will be fairly skittish on barely legal tyres.

if it's good, I think I'll pop over, it's onloy 45 mins away.

Was hoping to bring the mini but it's stored away safe in cornwall, and not running right!

Don't think I'll be doing this, :( Credit crunch

Are there any sound limits/

Please say no

Does anyone actually know where Gurston Down is? The directions on there website aren't the greatest (gives the rough area) but I can't actually see it on Google maps like I can with Prescott, Combe & Avon.

balls. forgot about this and have now committed to a mate to go down to plymouth to get his car sorted/tested on a RR.

oh well, if its nice and flat ill go wakeboarding instead...take my mind of missing it :(

We'll just be sat-navving it, hopefully get there smoothly enough!!

About 10-11 am I think!

Maybe see some of you there!:)

Do you have sat nav?

Bugger, my car isnt fuelling right and im not going to risk the drive down

I hope they let me on in the practical everyday run about

I had a pretty awesome day, though not without issue. my fan destoryed itself on the second run, taking the radiator with it. We just robbed the radiator of my mates mini and I managed another 4 runs.

Nic, was that you in the lotus then today?

I am tempted to put an incar video of one of my runs up, but feel too embarrased due to my poor driving.

double post.
