Has anyone got the date for the 2011 £999?

Its back for another year, who or what will take the crown this year, at a new venue SANTA POD

Just wondered if anyone has any idea when next years £999 will be?

If I'm going to be sorting 3-4 cars for Team Car-Less Fandango, I'll need to get started soon.

I'm already watching 4 328i's on eBay!!

We could have an all BMW team next year!!! :clap: :wtf: :shock:

Haven't got a Pod calendar yet. If it's before February I could still use the Spanish M.O.T on mine. ;)

A date for next year would be good. Id book it off work now given the chance. The fan club have all decided that theyer racing next year so we should be a 4 car team next time.

I fancy a 306 HDi, Chris wants a 306 GTi6, the missus is after a 1.3 16v micra super s and my best mate is looking at all sorts of crazy shit.

Gotta make the missus pass a driving test first lol, thats probably a harder challenge than helping her build a car.

Actually, is there any chance of a team challenge as well as the individual scores.

Would everyone be happy with the same venue again? I know is a big treck for many but the place really seemed to work well.
