It's getting close to that time of the year again. After the success of last year I've decided to keep to the same basic route, but I'll change it to avoid the bottle neck areas we hit last year.

 

I'm probably not going to make it this year as I'll leave you all standing in my single turbo monster...... diesel Rover! Hopefully you'll have a good time like last year, and remember it's not a race!

 

The big decision is when these are to take place. As with last year I think it's best that the event runs on two consecutive Saturdays as each day normally lasts over 12 hours for those that do the whole days events and it allows some recovery time on the Sunday.

 

So please cast your vote to the preferred dates. It's multi choice so you can chose all dates that you can attend.

Yep. I'll finalise the route over the next few days and will post up a new Gumball page with all the details. Then all we need to decide are the dates. Please only pick dates that a) you can attend, b) will be sunny! :)

Interesting idea. If the late september one is chosen then I can certainly adjust the Eastern route to finish at the other event. We're going to need to move fast to get them both arranged and co-ordinated though.

Damn good idea this. :)

I've voted for the dates i know I will be around but may be able to fit in with other dates for the Western half at short notice depending on family birthday get-togethers.

 

It'd be good to meet some of you lot, so I'll keep an eye open on this thread and hopefully join in if at all possible.

I guess those of us in the north have to make up our own plans. Grumble, grumble
lol, we get this same comment every year. And I'll give the same reply. I live in the South (on the coast in fact). I've always lived in the South. I know most of the major routes and know nice places to go and places to avoid. For that reason, I organise the Southern Gumballs. It's pointless me trying to organise a Northern one as I don't know the roads. I'll probably send you down roads unsuitable for Supras or that have road works etc. But that doesn't stop someone from up North organising a Gumball. Or maybe another Lake District meet is what you need?

I hope I've got my Supra back from Toyota getting the rear bumper fixed :thumbdown ,

 

Have already missed out on several events so hope a later date is most preferred. Will try to find out tomorrow when I may be back in twin turbo heaven :D
