Wimp.
I'm hoping to get my Midas to Stoneleigh this year (about 380 miles), with a side trip to my sister's in Arnold (must be near you!). If I do it'll be the first time in about 20 years. However, I did think I'd make it to Stoneleigh 2012 as well...
I think it's more my ear drums that are wincing at the thought of it, I really need to get my new exhaust made. While a dual exit thing with a straight pipe is a lot of fun at lower speeds, its much too noisy at the top. Going for a double box single exit system ASAP.
Arnold is just the other side of the river - and only about a mile from where I grew up!
As for getting the cars out of the garage, mine is a daily driver - so long as it starts. I'm still having to put the battery on charge every night to make sure it goes the next day, it's on the list to replace - whether I do that before christmas or not is another thing.
Also I have had my car to a meet just yesterday, it was a photography group that mainly do JDM marques but they wanted a bit of variety. Even got pride of place inside the workshop on a ramp - after a kind fellow helped me give the car a quick wash as it had only just been dragged out of storage and had cobwebs on it!
This is the only photo I have from the day, the professional ones yet to be published;
Funny thing about this- got the car just on the ramps (narrow wheels remember) and the guy was a little concerned one side was more on than the other. He looked a little confused when i said to help me pick it up and shove it across. Literally picked it up with the rear arches and put it too far the other way!
