Wonder if there is anywhere we can meet around the Village estate on Dog Kennel lane in Shirley? There is a Starbucks there after all...
And on that estate is an old folk's home. I'm not sure if they would mind (or not) the din!

I live nearby.

Spotted in Solihull near Solihull School this afternoon, a titanium Aventuador.

Is it worth the plans and discussion around this meet having it's own thread now?

Glad I caught this. Is there a thread yet? I'm over Yardley way, so Solihull, Shirley, Olton, etc are all good.

From your very good suggestion Fun Bus I have opened a new thread. If you are interested in a SHIRLEY/SOLIHULL MEET OPEN THIS

I was told by someone well informed recently that none of those camera's are working on the whole stretch.

Not going to put it to the test though.

Very sure, I live there(here!) :-)
Not sure about the others cameras, I slow down for them if they are actually pointing the right direction.

I saw a "Pheonix Yellow" BMW M4 this afternoon on a '64' plate. I wasn't a fan of that colour when it was on the E46 but it looks even worse on the M4, in my opinion.

Spotted heading towards Newbold, Chesterfield. smile

Great morning out, some fantastic TVR's and a greasy fry up to boot at the Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb

Excellent :-)

I saw a BMW i8 making it's way through the traffic after the football this afternoon - not a fan of white but I think they're a lovely thing.

I have not seen one yet but they are an exciting prospect, aren't they. I watched the EVO video where Henry Catchpole discussed the progression of the electric car before concluding the video with the i8.

There was one a Shelsley this morning white/blue... the 1st one I have seen.

It was parked on the front leading to where you go for breakfast and had just a quick look but the Que for breakfast was getting rather large so joined the Que had a very good fry up and the owner had gone early.

From my 2 mins of viewing i like the side profile,i like the front... but that rear somehow just looks wrong. I have seen it mentioned by others that it looks like a car is beneath the car,and their right,it really does,I didn't get chance to look inside but the side profile does look nice.
