Seeing this is so close it will be rude not to attend..

I may pop along but won't register....I'll just park in my works car park
Not sure what people are expecting to see, when you consider where other Sunday Services have been held.
The place has never inspired me much. Just a small showroom and the smell of glue/fibreglass.

Was a nice little get together this morning, only about 30-40 cars ranging from an original Fiat 500 to a Gaillardo and 458. Split into small groups for a tour of the factory and each car was issued a raffle ticket for 3 laps of Donnington in a BTCC Civic which appropriately was won by a guy that turned up in an early CRX.

What I did learn is that once a month they hold a club night for local car clubs, they try and bring in a few interesting competition cars and during the good weather they'll set up a bungee run or the sumo suits along with a BBQ and race simulators, scalextric etc. There is a Facebook page (search for Club Corbeau) which gives details. Worth keeping an eye on for something to do on a Wednesday evening.

I saw some pictures earlier on the PH Facebook page.

Looked like some interesting cars... in fact...



Does sound like a good spot for a midweek meet.

I'd never heard of their club nights, I'll be keeping an eye on them, I used to work with the guy that has the Fiat 500, he also has a Maserati but the 500 is more reliable.

[Banstead Stig]

What Maserati does he have?

I nearly bought a 3200 GT about six years ago, but got spooked by potential running costs!

[Red Baron]

This is it, no idea what it is but it has those nice lights that follow the shape of the back of the car.

[Banstead Stig]

That's a 3200GT!

[Red Baron]

He's always greatful if he manages to take it out without getting at least one warning light, currently has an oil leak from an unknown location.

[Banstead Stig]

Ha ha. Looks like I was wise to take fright!
