Oxon, Berkshire, Bucks weekend drive / meet?
Discussion
A wise man once said 'any accident you can walk away from, is a good one'. Glad your injuries are not worse (see an osteopath when everything stiffens up, you would be amazed at the difference). A bugger about the car though. Looking forward to an outing with whatever you end up with next.
True that, thanks Lance. Insurance company were going to give me either audi a3, BMW 1 series or strangely an astra vxr but seeing as they didn't have any of those available, I'm getting a Mercedes c350 E sport! Hybrid petrol thing with 275bhp and rides on air suspension which should be perfect for my aching body!
t news - sorry to hear that Simon.
It certainly has, I've been doing scatty things all day, like trying to put my shoes on before putting socks on, feels like I've had about 4 pints for breakfast then done 10 rounds with amir Khan whilst taking about 25 calls from insurers, recovery, solicitors and repeating myself like dustin hoffman.
Right chaps, I picked up my new steed today, so once I've got fully acquainted with her, I'll set a date for the drive that should have been. If the moron who ploughed into the back of me a few weeks ago could give me a wide berth for...well eternity, that would be amazing.
Absolutely fuming with how distracted she must of been not to see 2 lanes of stationary traffic half a mile ahead on a straight well sighted by pass, or even break.

Well having just returned from a little break in Bruges - Belgium, she runs well, but the ride is quite a lot softer than my last one as its on standard suspension, a bit 'boaty' and the breaks will need improving, but I can sort that in due course. The main difference is less power than before but still enough to have a fun drive!

I've organised a few runs before and they seemed to go down well, will see how this one goes and all well I'd be happy to set something up say every 2-3 months. Should give you time to run the new engine in 
The key is finding a date which suits all - very difficult unfortunately, and choosing a good route. The earlier in the day the better really, to avoid Sunday slow coaches!
