I'm defecting from the Chertsey meet to pick up a hitch hiker from J6 of the M40 @8ish. I'm planning to lie in wait for you'll somewhere north of Oxford on the A34. Don’t stop I’ll just tack on to the back (if thats ok), though a little toot (or 3rd and WOT:-)) if you see me might wake me if get bored of watching my mirror.

Departing Chelsea around 0830 if anyone wants to join in?

Looks like a sunny morning, but may have to bail in time to avoid post lunch showers.....

Great to meet everyone yesterday - hope you all had a safe trip back despite the best efforts of the weather and traffic.

We got suckered into the blast down the runway (how did that happen?) and found ourselves at the gate so didn't get the chance to say goodbye to everyone, although QuantumSteve (I think) caught us up around Oxford and we just missed Lofty at Chieveley on the way home.

I'm dreading open the garage door this morning; I'm expecting to see a pile of mud where I usually park the car...

p.s. Don't EVER follow the SatNav's alternate route suggestions in a Noble when the M3 near Winchester is stuffed - a tractor would've been better!

Good to see u again Dave, Tim and I hit that traffic in the M3 not long after it happened. Think we were through it in 10 mins or so. Luck escape.

We should have done! Stupidly opted for cross-country via Romsey... not one of my finest navigational moments! nuts

See you at Wilton / Goodwood / Beaulieu ...

Good to meet you all, yes that was me by Newbury, sorry not to get the chance to say Goodbye to everyone, look forwards to catching up at some Southern events over the summer. Cracking day, just makes me feel so glad I have a Noble.

Nice to meet you fellas.

I'm sure I provided much entertainment when I tried to walk out of a petrol station having not paid for fuel.....I get distracted when I see two Nobs filling up as well.

It's the only time I've filled up twice at the same garage in the same day,chievely,had the decency to pay both times though!Nice cashier on the way home as well,wanted to know what it was,and said how nice it was.

See you at some local stuff soon hopefully
