*** PH Sunday Service : 18th February ***

[PetrolTed]

Right, we're going to head off to south coast for our first "Sunday Service" (A VW style excuse for a drive and a brew).

We're going to the Donjon Rouge Cafe just south of Tonbridge Wells. There's parking for 400 cars, hot grub and drinks and it's a good excuse for a drive in the country.

Date is Sunday 18th February, arrive for late morning, kick tyres, chew the cud, chew a coffee and enjoy a cross country convoy home.

We'll be doing more of these from now on in different parts of the country so that we can explore a variety of roads and not limit ourselves to one part of the world. A good excuse for a drive is the idea

Hope to see as many of you as possible there.

What's the timing? Is it an early morning run type thing, or all day?

Busiest spell is likely to be from about 11am.

Killer, if you can get to Maidenhead I may be able to help.

[PetrolTed]

Why do you ask?

[PetrolTed]

I wouldn't suggest a convoy of that size trying to get anywhere.

[PetrolTed]

Roch, have you ever been to any of the VW meets?

[PetrolTed]

I can see your point, Roch but if it's not a million miles then give it a go. These meets are often better than many motor museums with a fantastic array of shiny exotica and lots of friendly people.

I used to own a Works Mini Cooper S and attended a few meetings arranged by MINI2.com, these ranged from going to spectate the mini race series at silverstone to an organised treasure hunt across the cotswolds to having our own MINI2.com club stand at a mini show in Beaulie Motor Measeum (sorry spelling is useless)

Do PistonHeads ever have these sort of events? Something where the enjoyment of driving can be mixed with an event or an actual PistonHeads organised day?

The driving events we do are more of the holiday variety (www.eurohoon.com) but we will have some news regarding meets at race circuits for you shortly.

Can anyone take a passenger from Reading at all?

Steve - you sorted for a lift? I've got an empty car (except for me). And Reading is only down the road.

I'm picking him up in Maidenhead Mark.
