If it is a "COX" then I personally would love to take a look

is it on 10" wheels

I'm planning on being there assuming all is well with the Coupe - Sunday only.

David

Ooo, hopefully going to be a fair few cars to look at this year. I promise mine will be there next year!!

If this is about my car, it is not a Cox.
It is a 1988 GTM coupe on 13" wheels.

David

EH!.....Of course its about your car ?

Shame it's not a Cox, as I need to have a look at part of the tub to check some measurements for comparison Doesn't matter too much as I have one I'm looking at soon.

Just out of interest, any idea what 1/4 mile times a Cobra replica runs?
As I was wondering that WEST's already seen off an Ultima mabe you might like to chance your luck in a race with him at Avon Park later in the year
He hasn't got much competition nowdays.
Just a thought

I was interested in Avon Park, although I doubt I would keep up with a car that could beat an Ultima.

I will be at the Le Mans classic however that weekend.

Ill be there on the Sunday. Is that the day for the club AGM?

I put a post on the 289 register website to enquire of a pal of mine who has run his car in 1/4 mile events and he says,
"David, 13.36. 105 mph terminal speed."

I guess this seems pretty slow to you guys. The Cobra involved had a (I think) a 5 litre Ford engine and was in full road going trim.

My car has a 4 litre Rover engine developing 240 bhp and 250 ft lbs torque. It weighs 1050kg and is in full road trim - I don't think I will be very competitive at Avon Park. I was interested in bringing the Cox but as I have said before I will be at the Le Mans Classic that weekend in my Cobra.

I'll be there this year too. Been there with shopping lists the past two years but now I can finally bring the Coupe! (Although I'll probably still manage to buy things this year too )
Won't be able to get there till sunday afternoon but I'll camp and stay for Monday.

I need to join the club first though, I'll send off my form and moneys this week.

Club area [our usual site 49A] and Marquee booked ages ago.

The AGM is [as always] at 2pm on the Sunday.

Only Fully Paid Up members [and spouse's] will be allowed into the AGM,[I will have an up to date up to the minute membership list with me].
Anyone camping, DO NOT pitch your tent next to the Marquee.

As always there will be coffee/tea and some biscuits available.

And there will be Regaila for you to buy.

Ken, where are you booked in for B & B?
I normally book several rooms at a local pub, might be the same place?

We're in the Holiday Inn @ J2 M6

Sorry to bring this thread back to Stoneleigh, but I hope to be there on the Monday (Can't make Sunday - sorry). As this is my first time in the Rossa can someone say what "stand" we are on. I've got a map from last year when I was there in my Gilbern. Thanks
