TOSH - Tuscans Over Surrey Hills

[Speed 3]

Following interest from various recent buyers in the area, I am proposing the following:

Target date: Sunday 28th Sep
Backup plan if peeing down: Sunday 5th October

Meet at Wotton Hatch pub 11:00, just west of Wescott/Dorking on the A25 grab a coffee then depart 11:30 ish

Route through Gomshall, Ewhurst, Rudgwick, Ockley, stop at the Surrey Oaks in Newdigate for a natter and an ale.

Pencil in the dates if you fancy joining in. Any other suggestions on route welcome.

For those weekends, I am available either so will go with the majority

Is this Tuscan exclusive?

Now that wouldn't be very PH / TVR spirited would it ? Fine by me

Had a partial rehearsal on the way to/from Goodwood Revival today. If the weather is anything like today it will be a blast. God I love the Tuscan !

OK, weather looking promising so we'll stick to Plan A for this coming Sunday. Hope to see a few of you there, if a success we can fix a follow-up for those unable to make it this weekend.

Just to say that i may have a few people joining me in other tvrs which i hope is ok? May have a friend in a 450wedge, my friend in my 400se wedge and another in a 450 chim...

Fine by me as long as they stay at the back to avoid holding us up

Sent you a PM but don't know if it got through

Aaaaaaaaaggghhhhh

Just been out to fuel up and I've got coolant p****ing out of the front end. Off to Elmwood to see if its a quick fix or terminal for the week.

Looking unlikely to be able to join unless someone offers a passenger seat.

Woohoo... Back on the road !

One new top hose plus a new service bonnet cable that I didn't know was broken later and we're good to go tomorrow

Great to meet so many TVR-heads in the flesh today. Apart from the usual Sunday drivers it was a very decent run, only got it slightly sideways once. Didn't get too many choreographed photos, was more about the fun of driving in belting weather. A couple below though. Glad to see folks driving from as far away as North London and Hove to join in. We'll have to make it a regular event.

Happy to let someone else plan a route next time, don't know Newlands Corner but sounds like a good photo opp.

How does Sunday 28th Oct suit everyone ? Dry weather supposed to be lasting but even I don't have the skills to repeat the last trick this far out

Also probably need to change the title to TVR's Over Surrey Hills to avoid alienating those that haven't seen the Tuscan light

I don't mind leading a group if the Tuscans can keep up.

Phil kept up a decent pace in front in his 450SE so sure you can do likewise

Aye, 26th it should have been
