The town hosts a classic car parade for over 500 classic and vintage cars from all over Europe. Strictly not a race, this event has become the largest classic car motoring event in Europe and offers a four day long weekend. On Friday morning catch the inclusive Dover/Calais ferry and take a leisurely drive of 140 miles to your hotel in Laon via the magnificent ancient town of Arras. On Saturday morning all participants sign on for the scenic regional tour, collect a rally plate and route book and join the classic convoy exploring the local countryside. On Sunday morning, all the cars assemble in Laon old town where the streets are closed to all traffic except for the cars participating in the street run; a drive up the steep hill with hairpin bends leading to the town centre – strictly no racing or speeding. The whole town is amassed with spectators lining the streets who come to watch the biggest cavalcade of Classic cars and sports cars in Europe. Hotel: Ibis St.Quentin is 25 miles from Laon on Calais side, with pay & display parking 9 Jun Castle Combe Circuit, Castle Combe, Chippenham, Wiltshire SN14 7EYSN14 Open from 09.00am Free entry. A major annual event for car clubs to display their member’s cars in the paddock. UK Crossfires will have its own designated parking area, note this is not a track day. The new style Classic Club Parades are sure to be popular. Lots of classics to see and action all day on the track. You may wish to arrive on the Sat evening and book into the Premier Inn near by, details to follow. 22 July Sandringham House and Museum 11.00 Sandringham House was opened to the public in the Silver Jubilee year of 1977. There is so much to see and do at Sandringham; recommend at least 4 hours to get the most out of our time here. The Museum houses extraordinary collections of Royal vehicles. There is free car parking, and this is where you will find the Restaurant, Gift Shop and Plant Centre. This is also the starting point for the very popular tractor and trailer tours, these take passengers around parts of the Estate not normally open. 5 Aug Brooklands Museum Meet at MB World car park 10.00am The annual aircraft and Napier Railton engine start ups, and the aero-auto jumble returns to Brooklands. So much to see at this major Brooklands event. UK Crossfires will once again have its own designated parking display area within the Museum site at the Jackson Sheds. Bring the cleaning kit! 26 & 27 Aug Wings & Wheels Dunsfold Times and further instructions to follow. This is a major event held at Dunsfold Park (also home to BBC's Top Gear). Wings & Wheels is firmly established as one of the UK's most popular and unique family days out. The show takes place over two days with an exceptional host of air and motoring entertainment unrivalled by any other show. In the Static Vehicle Exhibition clubs come to display their members vehicles in the arena. UK Crossfires will have its own designated parking area. 16th Sep Imperial War Museum Duxford 11.00am Duxford is set on the famous 1st and 2nd World War Airfield and has become home to some of the most iconic aircraft in the world. There are many exhibitions and interactive displays as well as a massive collection of tanks, military vehicles and boats. A lunch can be taken in the main restaurant. 13 Oct Santa Pod “Run What You Brung” Further instructions to follow. “Run What You Brung” or just spectate. Plenty of action through the day on the quarter mile drag strip with cars of all varieties taking part. For a small entry fee you can stretch the legs of your car to see what it can do! Last year the Crossfires made their presence known with some impressive runs! But if you prefer, grab a burger and join us in the stands to watch the action from a comfortable distance! One thing is for sure, plenty of muscle cars of all makes and sizes, pushed to the limit! 1 & 2 Dec Winter Warmer Weekend at Buford The Golden Pheasant and The Windmill Carvery have made us very welcome and looked after us very well for two years now. We will return again this year, those arriving on the Saturday to stay at the Pheasant having an evening meal at 8pm, and on the Sunday, the Carvery lunch at 1pm.

[Steve - UK]

We had a big snow fall up here, roads very bad at moment. Will make descision Friday evening once we get a good fix on weekend forecast. Will post here and put an email out to confirm either way

[11 FEB]

Snowing here in Kent but don't think it will amount to much, will be on our way soon

[cheffyuk]

Just to let you know that the roads are dry in Northampton and its not forcasting snow, currently it's 3degrees and no frost, see you there!

[11 FEB]

We have had a change of plan, going to give this a miss now, seems a bit silly as I spent two hour in the freazing cold yesterday detailing the SRT6 be filthy dirty again before I even cross the Thames
