No probs, pick a date! Aug better for me as I have a (rented) VW campervan trip to Scotland in July and am also going to the the Latitude Festival in the same van, as my daughter loves the van and the Festival.

July / August probably ok for me too - depending on the roster change that's due in June! Why do management always have to meddle? Grrrr!!!

Righty ho, how about we do this on the first Saturday in August? That's 2nd August in yer English money.

I can't go to that do at Brooklands on 3rd May, and to be frank it all looks a bit flash and Barry to me. Live and let live, and varied tastes are fab, but I am one of those rare PH'ers who believes that Lancia actually made some cars that weren't Integrales, and whose Italian dream car might not be some super mega uber 'Rari but might instead be an Alfa GT Junior with a 1300 cc engine.

OK, I am lying, my Italian dream car is probably a Maserati Mexico or a drophead Lancia Flaminia, but whatevs!

Don't worry. Brooklands has more than flash cars. I go every year and it's great.

I suggest lunch at The Boot in Lapworth, Warwickshire followed by a trip in some old or new heaps to Gaydon to see some old heaps, or we could do it the other way around. The B road from Warwick to Lapworth is fun if clear.

That would work for me. Any excuse for a bit of a schlepp in the Spider!
