I hope to be there a 1ish, but may be later, but I do intend coming even if with a dirty FRP and smelly horse clothes :roll: so don't worry about holding the food order for me as I will have had sandwiches..

Sorry, i'm going to have to pull out of this weekends meet mad.gif

The puma is very sick and i don't think it's a good idea to drag her along. I'm getting loads of creeking and banging noises from the front when i steer to the right and when i go over bumps - not good :help:

Due in the garage next tuesday so fingures crossed :cry:

See you all soon

Just to let you all know. I actually ran the whole of the 272 yesterday to make sure there wasn't going to be any surprises.

Was a great drive, left the Grandad driving back home and went for a blast :twisted: Stereo off, engine revs HIGH......ooohhhhhh ohmy.gif

There 'seems' to be a lot more speed reductions on the roads then I remember. Also, over taking has been stopped on even more roads but I doubt we'll be doing any of that.

We WILL be sticking to the speed limits on saturday but will be making the most of the national speed limits and of course.....getting up to speed will be fun too biggrin.gif

For those who have not been on the A272 before, there is a hump back bridge on it. It is sign posted but will leave it to your discression on how fast you decided to approach it. A little word of advice, make sure your straight as you go over the bridge and keep it straight until you've landed.

ALSO, there are other cars infront and behind so don't do anything stupid!


I also popped into the pub we'll be eating in. Have booked a table for 20 but they can accomodate more. They have asked me to call them on the day for official numbers so how many people are meeting us there?

So far, I know of Kate....but thats all.

Thanks for looking

No need to ask.....just bring her along! Like I said, the more the merrier. Its nice when 'the other half' likes to get involved. Lets face it, meets are getting to the stage where we talk about anything and everything....... cars are spoken about and we ALL look under every one elses bonnet but apart from that.....its a chin wag and a GREAT day out laugh.gif

Well at least two people enjoyed it (3 if you include me! :cry: )

Was a good day out. And the weather stayed fine too biggrin.gif

Highlights?

The A272! - All of it
No Horse Box - but replaced by OAPs in Vauxhall Corsas :evil:
The Windmills
And Mr. Shakey hand man in the car park!

Thanks to everyone who made the effort to come along. And one to Kate for leading us to the Windmills. Glad no-one got lost.....even if Carrie met us coming from the other direction :roll:

Will see you at the next one

P.S.

Sorry to Tim and Jackie for taking them the WRONG way home :?

Sorry, didn’t know there was a deadline for comments re a meet! :wink:

Yes, as everyone has said, a great day was had by all, lovely weather, although ‘nippy’ :wink: wind up that hill!!

Not quite sure how we managed to meet you coming the other way, especially as you were about 5 minutes in front of us and we still beat you!!!

Lovely food and lovely company, anyone who didn’t come missed a good day out, see you all soon.
