So far we have 5 kits (including an Ultima) & several old classics which hopefully will include an original Lotus 7 & 1930's racing Riley.

Due to the turn-out last year we have moved the event to 2 weeks after Easter & opened it up to all interesting vehicles, not just Robin Hoods.

Hope you can make it & enjoy a petrol-heads day, regards Bob & Sylvia.

Hi Bob & Sylvia, please added Wendy and I to your list, it was a fantastic day out last year. The Lotus 7 was truely stunning and that short stroke cosworth engine was to die for. It would be great to do a run through the village this year as i know that there was quite a bit of interest from the locals. See you soon V&W

Forgot to say at the top of this post----all Rhocar members are invited including those like us who are "still building" so you can come in tin-top & kick (gently!!) other tyres & maybe gain some useful info;plus maybe lucky enough to get a ride round the local villages in some-ones pride & joy.

Maid Wendy & her serf Vic (aka Zorro) have arranged an "Archery Contest" for all merrie men & their maids. It will be a "Run what you Built" (materials supplied) contest with favours for accuracy. As a dedicated Hoody you are invited to show your prowess with the real arrows,(could be TVHoods vis:- Southern Hoods, more areas welcome) regards Friar Bob.

Might be a possibility I can make it Bob but will confirm next week.

Had confirmation yesterday that Hampshire Air Ambulance guys & gals will be attending the BBQ; they are trying to arrange the trip to Thruxton Air Base for a photo shoot with Hoody Bear & all cars that wish to join in; the run is approx 15 miles in total,lets make a BIG convoy;Rubber Duck out.

Sounds good Bob Hope they can sort something out for us.

 

Thruxton may be a bit packed out as they have the British Superbikes on that weekend with Qualifying on the Saturday.

Maybe we will "loose our way" & circumnavigate some very good tarmac looking for the heli-ambulance!!! If not we have another route planned-- would like all drivers to take a "foreign passenger" with them to mix things up & get to know the crowd better,regards Bob & Mo.
