Argh. Confliction. 22nd is the date of the Basingstoke Pasture Blaster, which was due to be the first outing for my Compact.

Sounds like a cow rustling convention :lol:

Is everyone agreed on Sunday 22nd and do we have a plan re times/location?

We used to meet at the top of the Ridgeway just off the A34 near East Ilsley. Does that still work?

22nd should work for me. Some lovely roads around that way - I used to spend a fair amount of time at Rutherford Appleton Laboratories. Not unheard of for me to take the scenic route home

Unlikely I'll make it guys, don't have much time spare between now and then to get the car back on the road.

If the issues turn out to be minor I might get lucky. :|

I was thinking we’d head west towards Avebury so even less southern - does that work for people?

That's the usual route round that way isn't it? Sounds fine to me.

If you're bringing the F430, that would persuade me to come along in the Aston instead of driving a sh*t old BMW around a field that day !

I’ve not decided yet, it’s either that or a BMW diesel... 😉

ETA - more importantly, where are we planning to eat lunch!?

I for one, have never been in a passenger ride in a BMW X5 and therefore I hope you bring that and offer me a ride.

No, wait - that's not the right way round ;)

Lunch, you say? I'm in!

Is anyone else bringing a car that can't beat 11 seconds to 62?

I guess I could bring the Yeti instead of the Megane.

I could bring my van. No idea what the 0-60 is but you can get full sheets of 8x4 in the back.
