Good to see so many friendly faces there last night, shame it's not possible to get round the table to talk to everyone.

yes I said to James that it is a lot easier when it is not raining, as we are not sat at the table but mingling properly biggrin

How was bathtime Martin?

Thinking of popping down to this meet one day, approximatley how many cars turn up each time? Don't really want to make a journey if there's only going to be a couple of cars on display...

On a quiet week there's 7 or 8 of us, typically 10 or so. Most times we're sitting in the pub drinking and chatting, but if we ever get a nice summer evening then there's usually some loitering in the car park.

Hmm, not much point then... Does anything special turn up or is it just a few classics?

Yes i know what you're saying, you all go to the pub and talk about cars; and then everyone gets drunk and heads off home. It's not supposed to be a 'show', mainly just a social meeting for local petrolheads.

No, we don't!

It's more of a group of friends meeting at a pub biggrin With new people being made very welcome smile We meet up, talk about life, the universe, boats, trains, planes & automobiles, the weather; have a decent meal together; catch-up on gossip; eat chocolate; help each other out.

Listen to Ali, she's our most consistent attendee - she's missed every single meet! hehe

tongue out With the Porsche wink

I've introduced you to a Lupo, 2 MX5's, an F430, Z4 S-Drive, Z4M Roadster and Z3 tongue out

It's a bit strange going as the only girl tho, it's alright when I know Paula, Hannah & Becky are going, not 'cause I talk girly, but 'cause I feel a bit out of my depth against the boy talk when they aren't there hehe

Anyone interested in a Silverstone Classic ticket for next weekend - Saturday 21st July, 1x day ticket.

£20, should be £45. Will advertise elsewhere on Friday if no one here wants it.

Cheers,

Martin.

Now also got a Friday ticket too, going v. cheap.

Transport from Stratford included (basically I need the ticket back to give to Duncan for the Sunday - last year they issued a weekend pass as 3 separate day-tickets, this year it's 3x stubs on the one ticket).

Cumulatively perhaps...I'm probably worth 4 or 5 minutes on a good day, you're at least 12 minutes when you're bringing chocolate, Matt's an easy 8 minutes for entertainment value...
