916 group

Guest · Apr 18, 2018

G'day all

Is there anybody in the Kent and Sussex area who would be interested in putting together a GTV 916 group for meets, drives and days out - preferably big bold owners who will take their pride and joy out despite the possible threat of "rain!!" - Scuderia 916 anyone!!

Thanks

More for the attending than the organising and as I prefer the roof down in the dry only for me too.

Thats Good:driving:, hopefully more GTV owners will come forward. I don't mind doing the organisation - understand the downpour issues with a spider. Nice to hear from you Mr Flanners :thumbup: Lets see how many more people put their names forward, I hope Nigul does - The more the merrier.

Be in touch soon.

I'd forgotten about that! Not that I'm going but it will be worth avoiding the area if I manage to get out for drive on Sunday.

Hi to you it’s actually Pierre , I am in Larkfield, Kent. Registered as Philcrazy as site would not take my email address and set up with my sons! Philip is also my middl name. Worth broadening out to V6s and and 916 and will probably get a few more people out.

I have now fitted Cams however need a remap soon as idle is a bit lumpy and is running a bit rich. :beard: up for some drives this year where I can fit in around other organised trips.

Thanks all so far inc Nigel and Pierre, looks like we might have the beginings of a group.

I've started to think of some runs, outings, and a meet.

Keep in touch

I would be up for occasional meet and drives, have always enjoyed them before. Just in case the odd guest appearance non-916 may be tolerated...

faffer · Apr 24, 2018

There is another run being organised over my way on May 6th, hope dates don't clash.

We always went on the runs Paul used to organise down in Kent, before his back problems and selling his V6 GTV, which he sold to another guy in Kent I think. Normally around 6-10 cars used to come and finshed the run in Tenterdem for a pub lunch at the Vine Inn. He knew Kent well, we used to take in the Camber sands road and the tunnel near Dover. Great for the V6 guys

He used to have some for just the 916's and others were for any Alfa.
So would be interested.

Yes I have Paul’s car although I have done quite a bit to it since buying (I think he would be impressed) So interested in bringing it out out for any Kent/Sussex runs early Sunday mornings.

We need an organiser who can map out a route etc.

“Not sure will have done my remap by then so will still sound a bit like a bag of spanners at idle”

Hello Pierre,
If you can make it and want to meet up on the way...I'll be going up the A2 though...so Esso services at the bottom of Cobham Hill 0830, https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place...3ac88420!8m2!3d51.4048447!4d0.3952315!5m1!1e1
otherwise Thurrock services 0845 I suppose...
Otherwise just meet up there...

I met you at Hever Castle last year as I recognised his old car. What have you done to the car? I know he had a lot of suspension work carried out just before he sold it. I did think of buying it myself but didn't quite have the funds but I'm glad you are looking after it as it's a lovely example

I just worked out an East Kent route.
The roads I am very familiar with.
Start at Chilham Car Park (this is down the hill from the old Square), then to Charing and Lenham and back, then on to Chartham, Bridge, across Adisham downs to Wingham and then across Minster marshes via Stourmouth and Plucks Gutter to Monkton.
We could finish at the Spitfire Museum where there is a cafe, and also from there easy access to the Thanet Way and M2 for those going back west.
The Museum opens at 10am

The fastest roads are at the beginning of the route, the second half are more twistie and not as quick, but a nice country route.

I can lead this on 27th May, which is a bank holiday weekend Sunday...or can do Saturday 26th May
If that is no good then I can also do Saturday/Sunday 2nd/3rd June.

The route comes out at 1hr 30mins for 50 miles. I think if we are lucky with traffic then it will be just over an hour drive.

So if we met at 0815 for 0830 start from Chilham, we would get to Manston in time for the cafe to open about 10am.

To get to the above link, highlight, then right click, copy link address, new tab, paste and go.

Please note: there are no fuel stops on route until Monkton Shell, so at start with at least half a tank for V6es to enjoy the sonic range!
