As the thread suggests really. I know of a rolling road in Leamington, Warwickshire. After a few discussions it seems the guy is happy to use it on Saturdays for a cost of £30 for 3 runs.
If this is something which appeals to you please let me know. If I were to organise it would be sometime around June.

So, how do you guys feel about it? I have decided on a date of 27th June.
I was considering possibly taking the RR a little further. Both Warwick and Leamington are on the doorstep of this venue. Dependant on what times things get going which would be earlyish I reckon we could possibly grab some Brunch which could quite easily become a lunch with the timings, be it from the Shires Retail Park in Leamington although traffic could be awkward here. If that is not your thing there are a few places I can thing of in Leamington or possibly even Warwick to recreate the old vibes of a bygone era.
So far I am thinking of taking a long detour back to either Warwick or Leamington Spa. However, it will most likely be Warwick that I go back to .
If you wish to come along to spectate then you are welcome to. Remember that I am planning to do one or two things later on in the day in the form of a brunch somewhere local and maybe even a drive down the country lanes if you peeps like the sound of it .
As for times and dates, these are now confirmed .
Arrival time : 9.30am for a 10am start.
Warwick Trident College
Trident Park,
Poseidon Way,
Warwick
CV34 6SW
PLEASE NOTE:
Upon entering the carpark at the bottom of the road, keep following the car park to the right so that you are going towards the right hand side of the building as you see it (I.e do not take the left hand fork into the left/front of the car park). Around the back you will see a number of shutter garage doors, where the rolling road one will be open. If you park up somewhere near there and out of the way of others I'll be hanging around as will the dyno operator to sort things out.
Confirmed:
1) Chas - RST or Clio 172
2) Neil - Clio 172
3) adam73bgt - Saab 9-3 HOT
4) niwid - Acty
5) sowen - Rover SD1
6) dan - Morris Minor
7) task - MG B GT V8
8) Adam's mate - Mazda 5 based kit car
9) Adam's mate - Lexus IS200?
10) Potentially spare but taken for now .
