7s day - Bicester Heritage - 23rd July '22

[Charlie1]

Next update.
Very pleased to say we hit 42 cars signed today, still pushing for a solid 60. Not bad in 3wks with 4wks to go.
Entry now open for current owners who have an FD, FC or FB who can't make it as the cars off the road.
This will remain a private event, those not on the list will not get entry and have a wasted journey.
The main hangar is purely for cars of the hour, those coming in something else can park outside.
For payment: £44/car. Please pay to Charlie Walford Acc: 30-99-98 Sort: 71101160 Lloyds bank With you name as ref. Any questions drop me a message.

Hi Charlie - what time do you envisage this starting ?

Hi Charlie - what time do you envisage this starting ?

We have the venue from 9- 17:00, so from about then. I'll aim to be on site slightly prior.

@Charlie1 out of curiosity, what are the numbers now? I’ll be paying up shortly. Is there some sort of deadline

Morning fella, you beat me to it, I was just thinking of '7s day' update, seemed appropriate today.
As of this morning 56 cars confirmed, so close to that 60 car goal. Some awesome kit signed up, rally FBs, stock verts, spirit r, track weapons and everything in between. It's going to be hell of a group of motors.

...sorry deadline/cut off for tickets. Most likely the Thursday prior, the 21st of July.
Anyone on Facebook who wants to jpin the group and see all the others confirmed, drop me a message on there.

A little admin update for you merry old bunch.
64 rx7s now paid up which is awesome.
It's worth repeating as I know this event is being shared elsewhere. If you don't have a ticket(haven't paid) you wont be allowed in. I would hate for people to have wasted journeys....I will close sales on the 21st.
The event will be open from 09:30 finishing around 17:00.
There is onsight food and drinks and we are allowed to stroll round Bicester Hertiage as a site. Added bonus there's also a HERO rally taking place on site on the same day.
On the day we are entering through the South Gate of Bicester Heritage. Google will take you straight there. I'll remind everyone again of this next week.
Drones are allowed but will need a waver signing first, so drop me a message if you want to bring one.
If anyone has gopros or similar that they are bringing, and even better travelling in convoy, please feel free to film some of your drive down so we can add it to the edit.
This is a static event. So to quote Caffine & Machine, don't be a dick. No rolling burn outs, donuts, be respectful of where you are.
Cheers kids.

70 - We've just ticked into 70cars confirmed I believe, fantastic lads and ladies, what an epic collection it'll be.
This is in essence a last call for those on the fence. I'm going to stop taking payment tonorrow evening(Thursday), any late issue with that drop me a message directly. Again, no payment no entry, simple as.
The gate will be open from 09:30 on Saturday morning, the South Gate of Bicester Hertiage. OX26, food and drink on site.
Roughly plan of action.
Get a couple of favourites across the open hangar doors and a pre-named few making the shape of a 7 in the middle of the hangar. Then have everyone else in small groups tail to tail around it. Big Luke has kindly offered to help with that so will be in hangar directing, I'll be on the gate. I'd hope by lunch we've all arrived, had some belting footage taken, waved our wankels at each other accordingly. Then for those keen, we'll peel off and back to site in small groups to get some rolling footage around the surrounding roads. Wollop.
Then after, I think a few are heading up the road to caffine and machine for those with spare time.

Just follow the trail of broken down rotaries, that's my plan.
