That’s a great dogging place.. I met Jon, SJ and Jimmy there a while back!

@IanF does that day work for you?
Possibly. No idea what my roster is for September but I’ll be there if I can. 👍

You're only allowed to attend if your oil cap is the right way round this time. :lol:

I thought it was an 0170 cap. :oops:
:lol:

The funniest thing from the last trip was that all the yoof were checking out @JonMad's car, all the men were checking out @Sundayjumper's Aston, all the women were checking out your car and noone gave two hoots about my mini. :lol:

I admit I didn't pay much attention at the time, but it may have had some lasting impressions as I've had two Clubmans since then. They're good cars.

P.S. my lot has clearly improved in life as I now have a rev-counter that goes to 9, but alas, sadly not 10 :( This reminds me of the monty python upper class, middle class, working class skit. :lol:

I suspect that is true if you have the correct engine and it's not a One. I had to employ all my driving talent to keep up!
