[Vantage man]

Weather was truly awful hopefully be better for our next meet !

[Ross Parker]

I was out on the other side of the airfield this morning in the scooby having some fun and thought about popping over, but i did a few powslides, had a play, weather got worse so went back home.

[blueg33]

Assuming that we have a meeting next Sunday the 23rd?

Mu new toy arrives on the friday so I would like to show it off

[PoshTwit]

Oooh! look forward to that. I'm trying to imagine something even more wilful than 'French, mid-engined, water permable, turbo & non-available parts'.

... nope, drawing a blank there.


Meanwhile I may yet make the next meet, if the Evinrude engine conversion works:

[TonyS3]

Hope to be there next weekend.
I'm bringing my new toy too!
Also started a new job at C2 Aviation and hugely pleased to be based at Kemble once again!

Very nice. IMHO the looks of these improve as time passes. Still a rare sight on the road too.

[A900ss]

I think the road into AV8 is flooded at the moment. Best to check

[Lax Power]

I went to the cafe yesterday and there was a 20ft stretch of road under 8 inches of flowing water on the way in.

[blueg33]

8 inches is quite a bit, its the fording depth of the Subaru Outback if you dont want to change the diff oil. I cant see the Lotus making it through that

Thanks Paul

I would have thought even a V8 would be left standing by your Noble

I work at Kemble.
Flooding on the road is not as bad as that now, but still probably fifteen yards of four inch deep water. It has been dropping this week but only VERY slowly, if we get more rain it won't improve much from this level by Sunday.
My attendance will be weather based, I've had ENOUGH driving around in the pouring rain recently !!!

I am up for it if its not pissing down and the water is not more than 4 inches deep (how do we verify that)

What we need is a man with a red flag to escort us, and a yardstick to probe the depths...

Yorkieboy!!!

[jason900]

[PoshTwit]

I may well be along, but prolly in the Motability Machine as have errands to run and 'boy' in tow...
