Daan Saaf OV9 Meet

[JonMad]

Yes, it will likely be the Swift. Not given it a proper drive yet - only had it going on for three years.
Fabia needs a new clutch still. No events planned so no rush , not moved it since Kemble.

1) This happens as we get old

2) Do you need to borrow a funky jack thingumajog ?

3) We were signed up for the Summer Solo but it got cancelled in the end after venue hassles*. Alison is keen to do the Autumn Solo which is hopefully at Rushmoor - not sure how they'll lay it out but it could be a good one.



*MOD / Army are flat out with Op Interflex, which is all about training Ukrainian troops, so I'm not holding a grudge on that.

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.

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!

One of mine was a boggo diesel ! It was no rocket ship but it was still a good car.

The D has twice the torque and a bit more power. The one is all out of puff by 4.5k revs and you had to drive it like a 17 year old who stole it and is trying to impress girls.

It just soured the experience for me because I wasn't using it round town but for cross country shleps to Chippenham.

Just bumping this thread as we're now just a few weeks away from the 2nd. So far I have the following down as coming along:

- Me
- Alex K
- Will
- Gavin W
- Simon J
- Steve W
- Jimmy M
- Duncs

Let me know of any further takers - I think Ian was potentially keen and Jon was looking into it. Not sure if Rich B, David S or anyone else is up for it?

Per Simon's suggestion it probably makes sense to meet up at the Ridgeway car park. Let me know if people have a preference for a specific time of day taking into account travelling time etc...

May be worth setting up a whatsapp group ahead of the day. If people want to PM me mobile # I can arrange.

Cheers

I will be on the continent - either sipping Aperol, arguing with a French person or trying to fling myself off an Austrian mountain pass.

[DaveE]

@GG. I'm aiming to come along too

If the weather's crap I'll probably skip it though (it's quite a hike, and to do that and not be able to have the roof down seems a bit silly)

Why not aim for all three? Dream big! Get pissed, get in a fight with a frenchman and throw both of you down the mountain

[Explosive Newt]

Thanks for taking the initiative @GG, you got mail with my number.

My plan A is to come in the Tesla and look for passenger rides but if anyone is coming by Oxford in a more fun car I would be up for a lift.

Ok understood - fingers crossed the weather plays ball. I find early september often better than July August but we'll see!

Sounds good - I'm not quite sure of movements just yet but there is a decent chance I'll be coming from the MILs in Botley rather than London - will let you know closer to the time...

Ah, I misread his original post. I thought he said "fling myself off on an Austrian mountain pass".

Fling myself off onto an Austrian's mountainous ass is more believable.

[Gavster]

I'll be there, either driving or passengering in a vehicle. In a strange twist of fate, the only car that I'm actually insured on right now is a Ferrari 360

Ok - just @duncs500, @Jobbo and @DaveE's digits needed.

[DaveE]

@GG. you have mail

[GG.]

Cheers!

On a slight tangent - I was also going to add that its Salon Prive a Blenheim that weekend.

[IanF]

So I’m currently rostered to fly that day, will see if I can move some things closer to the date.

Also, I have SP tickets for that day..

Not ideal!

Can you leave it to the co-pilot and grab a parachute?
