Anyone fancy Virginia Waters in October?
Discussion
Maybe see you there, otherwise, at BT&P!!May be back in the UK the weekend of the 25/26 to get my MOT done on the Sat (assuming the bodywork's done by then). If so I'll stop by on my way back to Sprout land. This'll be my first PH meet so what goes on and what time does it wrap up?

Useless information time:
The Mexican restaurant opposite VW car park was the scene of an attempted revival of the Invicta car name by designer W G J Watson in 1948.
The Invicta Black Prince featured auto box, the rockhouse Hydro-Kinetic-Turbo-Transmitter (bet you ain't got one of those!!), 3.0l engine, dual ignition, all round inependant suspension, built in jacks and battery charger, electric immersion heater for oil and water. Weighed in at 1.75 tons and cost £3980.00. Only twenty cars were built.
At nearby Englefield Green, Averies cars were built from 1913-1915. Then Lagondas were assembled in the village from the factory in nearby Staines -the site now occupied by Sainsbury's.
The first mechanized vehicle journey in the UK (18 hundred and something...) was from Basingstoke to Hertfordshire, via the A30 and past VW lake car park.
Bentley boy and diamond millionaire Wolf-Barnato had Edwin Lutyens, architect, design a house for him in nearby Englefield Green. He allegedley drove his racing Bentley's from here to Brooklands to compete, and then drove back home again. The Grade II listed property has changed hands in the last two years for a measly £2M. It was a nursing home before.
Scott-Moncrieff, motoring author lived nearby.
Prince Bira of Siam lived in Virginia Water.
