Fitz Event - Part III (Ideas and Suggestions)

Following on from the previous successful 'Fitz Events' I am thinking of organising a third and maybe final run (as nearly all great things came in Trilogies ). However, I haven't given it much thought as to when or where?

Ideally I would like it to be this year as next year we as a club have a fair few events due to it being our 10 year anniversary. So far our previous events have taken us from;

Part I - London to Brighton to AFR

Part II - London to Goodwood to Portsmouth

So Far Scott (Scottc998) has compiled 2 routes based on your suggestions, So I would like members to vote for their preferred choice. Please See Below:

Here is the route I would suggest if you want to end up in Eastbourne.

 

Route A Click Here

 

This route runs right over the South Downs. There are lots of places to stop along the way car parks and pubs (for a photo opportunity) with some nice views from the road. I chose the Harbour as a finishing point, there're a few places to grab something to eat over looking the marina and bags of parking.

 

Or you could bypass Brighton completely and carry on along the motorway and then cut across to get on the Downs.

 

Route B Click Here

So this thread is to generally see if many members would like to come along on another 'Fitz Event' and if so, does anyone have any places that they may have been to that would make a good drive to/from.

London generally seems to be the starting place for the events but if an idea that is suggested seems to be popular then we won't have to limit the start to London (Dorking).

As I always say all are welcome new members, older members, N/A's, TT's and Singles. It's all about getting to know/catch up with members and have a great day out sharing the passion we have for our cars.

Hopefuly, the enthusiasm is still there and we have some good ideas. Cheers Guys/Gals

I'm unable to locate a 'Post Part II' thread but there is a great video by Scott (Scottc998) of the second one.

Cool

Beaulieu motor museum for a finish point is my suggestion.

How about starting at Southend, driving up the east cost ending at Clacton or Frinton? I have a thread on here somewhere listing the route.

Enjoyed the part II event. How about we head the other way this time, eastbourne area?

That's just past Southampton right? Near the New Forest National Park IIRC?

Sounds Good, maybe a meeting point first at a services on the M25? For those who come from closer to London.

Another Good Suggestion, could possibly then drive on to Hastings, dependant on peoples views.

I dont mind driving through hastings, its stopping im not keen on. Is there anything down that road with the hair-pin? thats good for coffee and photos?

There are a few pubs, Rye and Sumo Power.

It's in the New Forest

I'm game! Let me know the date a bit in advance so I can get out of both my jobs or I'll miss it again!

Sumo power is a good idea! Very nice area to! Also if we go near Eastbourne could stop at filching motor museum and cart track for some fun!?

How about going east along the coast and up essex/kent way.

If this is the finally episode you should make it a big run go out with a bang/fireworks and juggling ponies.

juggling ponies.

Well im in, no matter where it goes if just to see them.

Some Good Ideas so far, keep them coming.

You can only come if you change some major part of the engine yourself the day before

I'm up for meeting up, if you are going near Eastbourne, Hastings or Rye:)

Thats if nobody is embarrassed by a Nissan;)

Depends on what type of Nissan I may have to draw the line at a Micra.

But I may let a 350GT 'Pimp Style' attend

I'm already on that, it has to go into AFR 6th Sep more turbo prob's.

Quick Weekend Bump, to keep it in view and for those to add any more suggestions or to vote for one previously mentioned.

Part II Post Southcoast Run thread located and added to the original post.

Sorry to hear that. No major issues i hope?

Want a chance to show off my new wheels Get some ideas soon.

Indeed, it seems so far we will be heading in the eastern direction. Again, starting in Dorking we could travel out and meet people at a service station along the way. Will look into detail over the next few days about a 'final route' based on your ideas.

Somewhere on the coast for coffee, food and photos would be nice.

If you are looking for a fairly nice route you could go from Dorking to Camber Sands via Brighton. Nice cafe in Camber Sands and a nice sandy beach too. Parking can be lively in the summer months but sadly the summer has passed us by.

I can post up a route if you need one.
