Need a load of sixes for a magasine shoot

Posted: Sun Jan 07, 2007 11:28 pm

Sohlman Senior Member Joined: 02 Apr 2004 Posts: 1641 Location: London England Hi All, Am about to start working on a callender of UK events for the sixes. Just going through all the classic car magasines at present trying to select some good dates and pubs to drive to etc. Now i spoke with Matt Robinson the other day from TOTAL BMW about a six feature. Suggested getting every 6 model that was made together at one location for a magasine shoot. Need to choose a venue and a date. Please chip in if you have any good ideas. Anyway Matt loved the idea and asked me to run with it, Was thinking country house / Airfield in central UK location possible bruntingthorp or Avon Raceway. Getting loads of sixes down for the day ie more than 20 Line up thought. Series 1 628csi auto 628csi manual 630cs (If any left) 633csi manual 633csi Auto 635csi Manual 635csi Auto Hallmark Alpina B7 turbo Alpina B7s turbo Series 2 628csi Chrome 628csi Highline 635csi chrome auto 635csi chrome manual 635csi Highline auto 635csi highline manual 635csi motorsport m635csi chrome m635csi highline m635csi motorsport Alpina B9 Alpina B10 Alpina B7 turbo US Spec M6 Racing M635 Racing 635csi Obviously getting all of these down would be impossible, but if i could get a broad spread i think it would make an impressive article. Then my next thought would be to approach Classic and Sports Car and get then to cover it giving a different article and slant. How cool would be a line up of sixes across a runway look. Anyway can you guys give me some feedback. Do you have a car that would be suitable. Anyone with a rarer car would be great. Obviously this would be shot in the UK, but anyone with a foreign six that wants to be a part is more than welcome. I think this could make a bit of a sharkfest that was missed last year. Was hoping to make Brands the Sharkfest, but he weather insured that it was not going to happen. _________________

A bit further down, and you'd have Brocket Hall or possibly even Blenheim Palace. A bit further north (up the A1M), and you'd have Burghley House, near Stamford, Lincs. (venue for the horse trials each September) My car's available, in principle, James. It will need a wash, polish and vacuum, though _________________ "Póg Mo Thóin!!"

Bleinheim Palace: sales@blenheimhospitality.com Brocket Hall: events@brocket-hall.co.uk Burghley House: HERE I think that when you are chasing any location on this scale, there will be a good deal of wallet-emptying _________________ "Póg Mo Thóin!!"

boa Senior Member Joined: 02 Nov 2006 Posts: 263 Location: lincolnshire england Hi James why not try Stanford Hall Lutterworth Leics this venue is central in the uk and if you were to hold this meet on a week day it would be alot less on the wallet. or one of my favorite venues is knebworth house Herts, straight off the A1/M or another nice venue is billings (alot of waterways,grass, and loads of ducks and again easy access in Northampton. not expensive i beleive you pay entry per car around £8 to £10. thanks boa _________________ 635 csi alpina b10

Brucey 6 Series Guru Joined: 09 Apr 2004 Posts: 4164 Location: Cambridge, UK Hi James, I'm up for it. My '87 auto is of course cosmetically similar to other cars (don't a lot of them look the same??). But mechanically its different, sharing brake system improvements with later highlines.... So you need an '87 auto for a full set.... keep me posted.... cheers _________________ ~~~~~~~~~~~~Brucey~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
