Southern Meet?

Post by duncs500 »

Come on guys, it's been years. There's plenty of us daan saarf and it's only a few hours to catch up. Jobbo used to do a magnificent job of planning a route, could be one of the old Wantage area ones perhaps?

I'm going to throw 21or 22 July in the ring as the wife is away, but diary doesn't look too bad post World Cup (yes, yes, kickball etc. don't care, it's brilliant) at the moment.

Wantage is in the SE, BTW ;)

21 or 22 July works for me.

As long as you don't really mean SW. That's miles away.

This is clearly regionalist and I'm offended.

I might well be available that weekend.

Choosing a route is much harder these days, traffic is so much worse. But let’s aim for somewhere like Wantage/Newbury to meet up and heading a bit west towards Avebury.

Sorry, as far as my compass is concerned London is in the middle of the south. :)

Sounds fine with me Jobbo!

Surely it's not that far for you? I bet it takes longer from mine. MTFU.

Sounds good guys.

A Sunday morning would probably be best for me if that works for others.

Edit - Morning is ok too GG although lunch is as important as driving on these meets! :lol:

I’d be up for this although it may depend upon what I end up driving and timing around a replacement. Now starting the process of rejecting the Panamera.

More info in the fleet running reports thread please!

If it's around Newbury/Wantage I may be up for this. That's the old stomping ground, but only 75 minutes away from home now on a Sunday morning.

22nd Sunday from am through lunch sounds best for me. If it's a Saturday I'd have to bring the kids, and whilst that would be fun they might get a bit ill as those are bumpy roads and I don't want them throwing up in the car!

Make sure it has sticky front tyres so you don't understeer into the kerb again! :lol:
Cheers.

I'm in Reading so not a million miles away - would be nice to give the S6 a proper run now it's got new tyres on, that's if you don't mind a newcomer crashing the party
