Coniston SpeedTrials 30/10 - 4/11 2006
So whose going this year to the Coniston Speed trials. There's usually an interesting selection of boats, from Hydo planes to a Fountain with massive supercharged inboard petrol which ran somewhere in the 90's mph last year.
There is a great spread of B&B's etc, and the pubs sell some evil cider and the famously locally brewed Thunderbird bitter. The plan may be to go up on Sunday 29 October and stay for 2/3 days. Could be another Pontoontalk gathering, (but obviously must not interfere with a Pontoontalk end of season party in the infamous Arun View!!) |

Sounds like a plan !
I think Marex is being put away for the winter, engines up for sale, so plan to be spectator at Coniston, unless you drop one of the V8's from the Donzi in the kids rib and go for a record or bust... may be both ![]() |

NO, niether, but you have a point.
