Following on from the poll here the next VX220 Activity day is on Sunday 31st October.

Booking is done via the carlimits page New link for booking directly on Carlimits website You dont have to pay as you book, but at least reserve your slot to avoid missing out :)

Please book/reserve as soon as you can as if we cant fill it by a certain date it will be opened up to other models of car.

Here is a copy and paste from the last thread, because I am lazy ;)

Again, for those that dont know, the activity days are run by Carlimits (www.carlimits.com) and it involves a number of activites throughout the day. First of all there is a high speed bend and then two seperate circuits are set up to have a play on, and then depending on what people want to do we can run the MSA circuit.

This video by someone on SELOC shows the activities quite well :) Clicky



Any questions, fire away thumbsup

I forgot to mention a couple of things :rolleyes:

The price is per car. Passengers come free of charge, as do second drivers :)

Snoop is hopefully going to be able to come along with his DSLR camera for pictures and also my bro in laws DSLR to do some high def videos to do a compilation similar (I have been promised better than ;) ) the SELOC video above Imnotworthy

The day runs from 9.00am to 4.00pm with a 1 hour break for lunch at midday where we go to the local pub and have some grub.

North Weald Airfield is located here

I will keep on updating this thread as I remember even more stuff I have forgotten :)

Being as it's the first proper video I'll have done using a DSLR, I think I can be pretty confident it won't be better than that ;)

I had the same worry before I did one and it's no problem, even if you did do a James May there's loads of room.
