A Day at Gaydon - Page 2

TimD · 10 Dec 2000, 02:50 (Ref:51812)

How's things progressing with this one? Any preferences for Saturday or Sunday yet?

My own personal choice would be Saturday, but if the majority call is Sunday, then I'll go with the flow.

Anyone else?

Sparky · 10 Dec 2000, 03:09 (Ref:51816)

Tim, after a period of deep thought and consideration, (

) I've decided that Saturday would suit me just fine!!

But as Tim says, I'll go with the masses.

So, what's it to be?

Carrie · 10 Dec 2000, 10:49 (Ref:51836)

Saturday's fine with me (or Sunday if it turns out people prefer that).
Who is definitely coming to Gayon now? I've lost track.

Maisie · 10 Dec 2000, 12:02 (Ref:51843)

Count us in for Saturday

**Craig** · 12 Dec 2000, 19:21 (Ref:52114)

Ok, so Saturday it is... anyone care to nominate a time and meeting place ? Carrie ? What time does it open ?

Carrie · 12 Dec 2000, 19:24 (Ref:52117)

10 or 10:30 I think. Not sure where I've put my museums yearbook.
Didn't I put a link on the first page of this topic....

**Craig** · 12 Dec 2000, 19:28 (Ref:52119)

So you did, Cazzer...

10am it opens... aim for 10 then, shall we ? Anyone fancy a pint afterwards ?

Carrie · 12 Dec 2000, 19:32 (Ref:52121)

Prices, opening times and any other bits of useless information:

The Heritage Motor Centre has car parking facilities for over 2000 cars and 30.

Heritage Motor Centre,
Banbury Road,
Gaydon,
Warwickshire
CV35 0BJ.

By road:
Simply leave the M40 at junction 12 and follow the signs for the centre. The Heritage Motor Centre is located just off the B4100 on the Banbury to Warwick road, within ½ a mile of Gaydon village.

Lets just hope it doesn't have a major powercut like a certain museum was trying to cope with today

Carrie · 12 Dec 2000, 19:38 (Ref:52126)

There's no mention of any additional charge for the Williams Exhibition, which is described on their website as follows:
EXHIBITIONS

Williams Formula One: the last decade
Saturday 1st January - Sunday 31st December

An exhibition of Williams Formula One cars from the last ten years showing the development of the team's cars and the progress made by the sport during this period.

Wonder why they never take me seriously at work when I suggest that we should have exhibitions about F1.......

Carrie · 12 Dec 2000, 20:01 (Ref:52140)

For Christs sake Craig, will you stop burying next weekend under other topics!!!!!!!!!!!

Minardi fan · 12 Dec 2000, 22:20 (Ref:52152)

I went to the opening of that very place you know (showbiz links n all...)

You'll enjoy it - they did a great off-road thing in a landrover.

Plus of course you'll be able to see just how classy our area is eh Woody???

No really I mean it...

Chris Y · 12 Dec 2000, 22:37 (Ref:52155)

".. has car parking facilities for over 2000 cars and 30."

Eh? 30 what?

Anyway.. The last time we went to Gaydon, the Williams bit was quiet and deserted, and they certainly weren't charging money to get into it

Carrie · 12 Dec 2000, 22:59 (Ref:52162)

Elephants

Erm, think it was coaches, I was just cutting and pasting and trying to get rid of all the bits that weren't of relevance, obviously I missed a bit

Carrie · 14 Dec 2000, 20:40 (Ref:52473)

Not sure if I can make this one after all.

Sparky · 14 Dec 2000, 21:11 (Ref:52482)

Oh No No No NO NO!!!!

Carrie, you can't duck out now!!

C'mon mate... See ya there?

Carrie · 14 Dec 2000, 21:23 (Ref:52484)

I dunno, I'm not sure I'm in the mood for it.

Bluebottle · 14 Dec 2000, 22:24 (Ref:52498)

I'll go if you go..maybe

**Craig** · 14 Dec 2000, 22:39 (Ref:52505)

Don't say that... or she'll definately not go!

Hope to see you both there

Carrie · 14 Dec 2000, 22:53 (Ref:52515)

If I was going to be put off by the company I'd definitely not go because you were going, Craig

Chris Y · 15 Dec 2000, 00:10 (Ref:52535)

C'mon Carrie - you've been dying to go and see the Williams F1s. This could be your last chance, and believe me you'll regret not seeing them. They're fantastic and they're so close you could just climb inside.

Gotta go see. Oh yes.

**Craig** · 15 Dec 2000, 18:39 (Ref:52636)

What ? You mean like Dan climbing on board that McLaren at the Donington Collection ? Oh dear!

OK folks... let's aim for a 10.30 arrival shall we ? Seems to be pretty sensible for all of us - enough time to wander round at our leisure, but we'll not have to get up too early to get there

Carrie · 15 Dec 2000, 18:45 (Ref:52637)

Really???

**Craig** · 15 Dec 2000, 19:01 (Ref:52647)

Nope... what is it 3 hours from you ? If it is, you don't need grade A maths to realise you'll onlt have to leave a 7.30 to get there...

Or you could have a lie in and ring us when you get there... you've got our mobile numbers

TimD · 15 Dec 2000, 20:09 (Ref:52664)

I'm due to pick up Sparky and Paul C at Cambridge at 9am.

From there, I've no real idea what time to allow to get to Warwickshire, so expect us when you see us. Hope people have their mobiles switched on and a good lookout posted!

Carrie · 15 Dec 2000, 20:13 (Ref:52668)

I'm reckoning about 3 hours, avoiding speed cameras on A556, but can't avoid the M6 ones and yes, leaving the house at 7:30 on a weekend. Madness, only normally do that where there's a race meeting involved.
