It's a long way down from Sheffield !
Check that the weather will be fine, otherwise I'd advise
against it in your case.

Essentially this is a a meeting at the Beaulieu Heritage Motor Museum
for Smart enthusiasts. It's a nice venue, and there are gardens/grounds
to walk around, as well of course as the Museum itself.
There is a restaurant, where fine food and tea/coffee etc is served, for
those who didn't bring a flask and sandwiches !

Checkout the Beaulieu website for more info on the Museum and facilities.

Take it from someone who drove to and from Beaulieu last year, if you are coming from somewhere like Liverpool or Sheffield, book a hotel room. It is a LONG way down and a LONG way back up.

[CrazyG]

Just over a month to go till this event folks....

So...what about the rest of you members out there ?
Problemchild ?
Scoobysook ?

To name but a few....

As also stated in that same post:-
Most shows get swamped with ForTwo's n Roadies ! !
So come on....let's show them that Gen1.ForFour's ARE
part of the Smart fraternity...right ?

[Problemchild]

I will try

its a long way so a good £50 in fuel

[CrazyG]

£50 ! !  It's only 105 miles from your postcode to Beaulieu..
so if you cruise with an average 30mpg it'll take 3.5 gals
and be around £33 for the round trip.
But...if you go 'P2TM' then it'll defo be £50 or more.

So we'll see ya there then........ 

[CrazyG]

COMING THIS WEEKEND.....SUNDAY 8th NOVEMBER

If there are any more members who will be attending (other than those
already confirmed), would you please add your name after this post. Thanks

UPDATE: Weather forecast........
4 out of 5 website forecast's say that it will be cloudy and 17degrees,
however it'll feel more like 11degrees due to a 19mph wind chill factor.
So everyone, 'wrap' yourself up in something nice n warm, ok.

Showers possible after about 3pm....if anyone is still there !

Going to brave it, been looking forward to this for a couple of months now and the Met Office weather forecast looks pretty much OK. Just hope the long drive is worth it.

Well, come on you guys! Drove today from Newton Abbot to Shepton Mallet for the Footman James Classic Vehicle Restoration Show at the Royal Bath & West Showground. Great show. Round trip of about 150 miles.  Then back at Newton to load up the Brab for my 3 hr drive to my overnight B&B stop in Brockenhurst. Round trip will be about 235 miles. The weather got better as I drove on and it's  going to be fine tomorrow... so come on guys, make the effort!!
