The dog in Peppard is fine . Have you got a post code for this to find the route. Is it us three or is anybody else joining the run to the Trout???

Ok if we still meet in Marlow? as I haven't got a clue where Peppard is.

Guy - I assume you mean for the Trout - it's SN7 8RF - if you mean Dog / Peppard just say.

So how about this then - you & Gavin meet in Marlow around 11.15, then join Andy (Griif2be) & myself at Peppard around 11.30 ish, the we all get going. Fast.

Regards

To get to The Dog in Peppard from Marlow is very easy.

You need to get to Henley town centre, then go up the High Street past the Town Hall. Keep going all the way up the hill (past Badgemoor golf course on your right) for about 4 miles until you can go no more (i.e. you hit the T junction). Take a left and the Dog is on the left after about 800 yards. Easy!

It will take you more than 15 minutes though...

See you Sunday!

weathers looking good

[DavidP]

.......and I've been promised the Caterham tomorrow

I'll bring jump leads

[gb61390]

Sounds like we'll have a varied selection of cars then? Excellent....

Guy

Mind the ground clearance as you pull into the 'layby' in front of the Dog - its a bit potholed!

For anyone approaching from the east along the A420: To my knowledge there are 2 Speed cameras - one just after the dual carriageway from the A34 junction. Its opposite the Landrover dealership. The other one is in the wooded section a mile or two from the turn off to the pub.

[EdT]

Weather's looking grand for Sunday. See you all there !

Ed

Given that the weather is looking pretty damn near perfect I'll cancel the booked table in favour of sitting outside. Anyone have a problem with this- speak now etc.

[funkyboogalooo]

no problemo, cars gonna get a waxing in a minute. looking forward to tomorrow.

[Griff2be]

Can we book a table outside? By my reckoning there are at least 10 Pistonheads and 3 Pistonheads' widows - probably more but its difficult to tell with these 'Trout or Surrey' fencesitters....

[funkyboogalooo]

good idea that, theres 3 in my car

[funkyboogalooo]

thought it might be a good idea to maybe get some directions. where is this place in relation to Faringdon? any ideas

[AJLintern]

From the south you turn off the A420 towards Bampton. The turning is about 3 miles east of Faringdon and the pub is a further 2 miles from the junction.
Take a look at this map: www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=europe&X=432500&Y=200000&scale=50000&width=700&height=400&gride=&gridn=&coordsys=gb&db=hcgaz&overviewmap=&scale=100000
The pub is at 'Tadpole Bridge' on the map.

You lucky sods. Stuck at work as I couldn't get anyone to cover for me. To add to that it was a sh!t day with very little sales.

Another meet soon I hope!!

[bluesatin]

Great pub and food and nice to see the collection of cars. Only problem was that the last half a mile nearly bounced me to pieces. Look forward to Ed's pics

Guy - that'll teach you to stiffen with those 70 position dampers!

Have added new link in www.tvrbliss.co.uk

It's using a new bit of code (kindly supplied by P Ted) so fingers x'd. Any problems anyone please let me know.

Thanks for organising an excellent afternoon Funky! Great pub, great weather and great company. Really enjoyed meeting everyone and your son is very clearly a petrol head in the making (he didn't scream once) and I'll look forward to hearing from electricboogaloo. By Christ your Maser shifts doesn't it? Took me by surprise when you disappeared over the horizon. Had to get on it pretty smartish to keep up. Very impressive.

Overall some awesome machinery on display; thought AJLs porker was very nice indeed and watching it on the way back, it drove nicely too. Some lovely TVRs, David's Caterham and the pictures do not do justice to Guy's Ultima . That is one seriously badass car, and well worth losing a few fillings for. Saw some interesting machinery on the way back too, including what looked like a Light Car Company Rocket. Poor sod was surrounded by cars on the M40, all ogling him.

Thanks again. Repeat please!

PS Ninja: Shame you couldn't make it up mate. See you tomorrow?

[Gavinr]

Hello everyone, good to meet/see everyone again. Ed, good pictures. Mine didn't come out to well unfortunately. What a great drive though, those were some fantastic roads! Shame about all the tractors, and the lorry !

See you all at the next one.

Gavin
