[mikey k]

Mine won't be born from Woking until the end of September
I organised a few for the Aston mob on here

I'd be up for organising a McLaren one early next year if any ones interested

August/September sounds good. Just before I need to go away. Have to think about weather too I suppose. September nowadays has an Indian summer with about a week of heat before getting cold and rainy again. When is the bank holiday?

Monday 31st August is the bank holiday.

Great! Got a headphone show to go to on Saturday so will be perfect to go on Sunday and back Monday if going to France

Hi guys, I am back from my holidays so as promised lets see if we can arrange a meeting.

Bank Holiday Monday seemed to suit most by the looks of it, shall we think about a daytrip to France - Le Touquet ? or would we prefer keeping to UK ?

I would suggest we wait until maybe the wednesday (26th) before we book the Eurotunnel (high vehicle), and see what the weather forcast is, I know they wont melt but its not a lot of fun with 600 bhp in the rain and your life savings.

I am thinking Coffee stop in France on route, Lunch in Le Touquet area, and depending on feedback maybe dinner ?

You have a vehicle / production number? Just curious, would be good to watch it take shape

Sorry all, can't do the 31st, I'm on a trackday (in my Elise).

[cho]

Not going to be much of a convoy! Could always have a local meet first...

[TISPKJ]

Happy to go with the flow if others want a UK lunch somewhere, was only thinking French day trip as a bit more of an event.

Where are you guys based ?
TISPKJ - Kent
CHO - London

I am back from my Alps trip now (epic) and free most weekends for the next month or so.

[TISPKJ]

So would a Lunch or breakfast run be preferable ?
We are all based in roughly the same area.
I have an excellent route to Tenterden via Rye but needs to be an early start for breakfast run.
Lunch venue will need some further thought.

Regarding dates the 31st was suggested to include SELON but he is not collecting his car until mid sep so we could do sunday the 30th if suits better.

Any otherc care to join ? the more the merrier?

[squirejo]

Lovely idea. Afraid I am already busy for the bank hol weekend.

I'm up for the Kent thing, don't mind how early. Obviously would be much better if we could get the numbers up.

[Stevoox]

Unfortunately at 24 I don't own one just work for them and the Trophy would ruin the Macca party / not keep up being about 300bhp down (327 to be precise if comparing against a 650S...)

If a passenger seat was going spare then your lunch is on me

[cho]

I was going to suggest an appropriately expensive brunch in the mandarin oriental but it wouldn't be much of a drive for me! Maybe another brunch venue(Is ace cafe too cliche?)

[TISPKJ]

I was thinking of a meet up followed by a decent drive and then breckie or lunch.
Not sure a lap of the M25 counts :-)
