Definitely up for this, but manic at the moment.. (eg back from Barbados on Wednesday, afternoon in the Royal enclosure at Ascot, then 8am flight to Lisbon Thursday, back tonight at 10pm and off to Tampa tomorrow.. summer looks very busy)

Bumping this again - so it is currently looking like Saturday 2nd September has the greatest number of takers but Dave E and Jon M can't do that day.
@IanF does that day work for you?

let me check... (I just said no Saturdays as my wife typically works, but also we've got the two days off before that at the end of the school holidays so might be going somewhere - nothing planned yet though, so let me try and persuade them that a family trip is not what we all want to do
)

Family trip to Oxfordshire!
Seriously though - prioritise the family stuff if you need to - I don't want to be responsible for any domestic fallout!

I'm jumping out of a plane that day if the weather is decent, if not, I'll try to make it!

fair point, if anyone has a convertible (or maybe a decent sized sunroof) and can swing past Salisbury on the way, I'm coming in hot!

If Sundayjumper is taking the Galaxie it'll be easy, the interior is the same size as an Olympic swimming pool.

You are a double agent working for the Russians, the plane is a MIG AICMFP.

Not sure if I've missed it, but has there been any thoughts about where we might meet?

Haha, can literally click on Simon's old maps link and it still plots the whole route from 2011! Ah, the wonders of modern technology.
@DaveE I think we were aiming for somewhere around south Oxfordshire but Jobbo mentioned he may have a better route than the above.

Am I welcome to tag along and if so, Mazda or Bmw?

Absolutely - I assume that the Mazda is an MX5 but which BMW?

I was just suggesting adding a couple of roads. I think meeting in the same place is pretty sensible for people coming from various directions - it's the Ridgeway car park near East Isley:
