I'll be camping as well if I'm down saturday and the sunday

A very valid point.

All these expensive premium sports cars use how much of their ability on the road within legal limits? 30%?

I test drove a Nisan GTR a week or so ago. Absolutely awesome! But the realisation was, I'm not going to use 20% of what it can do without losing my license.

And do I want that kind of money tied up in a car for occasional track use? No, not really. Completely unpractical and expensive.

Hot hatches are great value compared to performance, that is not so amazing you can actually use it.

In short, they are more fun per £. :thumbup:

Of course, if you just want to show off, then a premium sports car is great. But I don't think these kind of people are generally atracted to the Skoda brand. :D

right, the camping list is looking big enough for me to book "the field" I'll speak to the owner and get back to you all :)

Hi,

Id love to join the fun round the lakes in my Monte!! Count me in!!

gilly wibble hi well its being a long time hope to see you in cold wet cumbria lol got a octi now (yellow FAB b4) ps possibly camping too depends on work

Edited by MOONY

It's possible that I will only be doing the drive, but will depend on how much money I can get saved from doing 20hr weeks. Will know more closer to the time

gonna try and reserve a campsite over the weekend....

ok peeps, we are all booked in here

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=ca13+9xa&aq=&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=13.626984,43.286133&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Cockermouth,+Cumbria+CA13+9XA,+United+Kingdom&ll=54.537767,-3.26663&spn=0.013047,0.042272&t=h&z=15

Gatesgarth farm, buttermere, CA13 9XA

the views are FANTASTIC, just hope for nice weather, as its a bit of a bog at the moment, I advise bringing waterproof sheets to go under your tents!

Its a field behind the farm, we can take the cars on, fires allowed if off the grass, gazeebo's allowed, we will probably have the field to ourselves, 12th, 13th, 14th Aug, there is an outside toilet, and hot and cold running water behing the farm, he is expecting 15 cars but we can add to that no problem, owners name is willy, sons name John, John likes his modded cars, has a nova (I know, but he's young) with a red-top turbo in it (200+bhp! lol..) he runs a tee/icecream stall in the public carpark opposite the farm.

There is NO shop, (It is just a field at the end of the day!) you are advised to bring bog roll, food ect ect..

If showers are needed, there is a campsite up the road that will accomodate as they are 20p for a shower...

Price.. (now hold on, it is the lakes..) £3 per person per night lol.....

I have just really ebnjoyed the drive up there its actually ON one of our planned routes! (This car just gets better and better, really enjoying driving it now, best car I've ever had! except maybe the lancia thema turbo ;) )

looking forward to it now
