Should the location alternate between Saaf, Norf, and middle, or always stay in the middle?

I'll see what my financial state is like at the time then I may go especially if there's a track involved.

There won't be track action on the Sunday, Theo, but there'll be a drive on the Saturday, which can be as spirited or laid back as you fancy.

It's public roads, with around 60% in the New Forest (40limit with caravans, cattle and horses all un penned). Maybe spirited for a B14, but it'll mainly be a demo of the Souths awesome roads, you won't be able to get carried away. Route keeps away from "Chris' Standard Terratory" (single track lanes with passing places) so all those who know me can breath a sigh of relief ;)

Will there be ample lay bys to house Foggy's car once it runs out of petrol/cuts out as it has the wrong colour fuel in/Exhaust falls off etc, etc, etc.

Im not gonna make this one.

Surprise, surprise. :?

Exhaust falling off is more plausible than I care to admit...!

Hi foggyjames,

I should be able to make it on the Sunday with my 360 - I'll probably bring the family (trouble, strife, 2 nippers) for a day trip and a nose around the museum.

What sort of time are you planning the get-together of the cars and the line up? Any idea yet?

:360:
7.52pm: I'm jealous. I really wish that I was a) a Fulham fan; and b) at Craven Cottage. What a night for them. The players are still on the pitch, loving it.

Hi Alan (hopefully assumption is correct!),

It will be great to see you, family & car! I think we'll be assembling around 10, but there's no obligation for that to be the time that you turn up.

cheers

Cheers, James. It's Steve, but fair assumption you made there! :D

You probably know my car, it was at last summer's meet with Ben. D47 VCF.

Cheers,
Steve

Hi Steve,

Ah, it was a dangerous assumption to make!

Yes, I know the car well, and very nice it is too! It'll be good to see it again.
