What about asking BBC TV Bristol or BBC Radio Bristol and ITV West Bristol to come and cover this event?.

You probably should warn any potential passenger that the suspension on the GTI has not been put back to standard yet and thus is somewhat harded then is normal.

That is of course if the oil leak gets fixed in time otherwise I will be in the poly Turbo Coupe!

The route will be given out to participants on the day.

The club is funding the buffet lunch for participants too :-)
