OK guys, just contacted Brooklands, the extra cars aren't a promblem although it's best we arrive as a group! Tim's AMOC Christmas lunch group will be in around 11am and we will be in at 12:30 so we shouldn't get mixed up, though if we did it wouldn't be the end of the world!

We'll all drive in though the Campbell Gate entrance (pass the roundabout for M-B World and keep going on Brooklands Road for another 300m. It's an unmarked left turn, I'll try and park at the top and wave people down!) and park up so we can pass though the kiosk into the Brooklands complex as a group. I'll be there at 12 and will hopefully be one of the first to arrive so if you see a green DB9 Volante, you're in the right place! Just stop and park up and we'll wait until we're all there, or nearly all.

Being a group over 15 people entitles us for a pound off, so entry will be £9 which gets you into the museums and displays for as long as you please. You can also wander over to Mercedes-Benz world, a 2 minute walk away and see their goodies - it's free.

The Sunbeam cafe is very good and very cheap so we'll take lunch there if people want to, everything from cooked meals to sandwiches, and it'll be very informal, eat and drink when you want, nothing is reserved. There is a bar upstairs for those partaking but you'll need to go via me as it's members only.

That should clear it all up. I'll take a list of names with me and tick them off so we can see how we're doing, otherwsie please introduce yourselves to everyone else, not many of us know each other so it'll be great to put names to PH names!

Clears everything up? My number, in case you are lost or need to inform me of... something, is 07590 457776.

Edited to correct my phone number!! Thanks Bamford Mike!!

See y'all tomorrow, fingers crossed the weather stays like this!

Y'all? Really? Are you from Georgia or somewhere else south of the Mason-Dixon line?

Tsk tsk!

[yeti]

I've had a couple of girlfriends from Texas, nothing more insidious than that

Once I start hocking and spitting into a paper cup I carry round, then I would expect to be pulled up on it!

You still coming tomorrow?

[Highrisedrifter]

Aston picked up. Just stopped on the M4 for a bit of tiffin. I'll be along with a Tungsten V8V instead of the Jaaaag.

Grinning like a loon. Pictures later.

Congratulations! If your face doesn't hurt by the time you get home, you're not grinning enough Enjoy

[pilgrim7777]

What luck ....It looks as though my Sundays arrangements have just been cancelled so subject only to not being hoisted with an alternative, I may well be at Brooklands so looking forward to meeting old faces in the AM world.

Well done HRD - the 'loon' look never really dissipates, you just learn to live with it

Anybody interested in meeting at Clackets sevices on the M25 thence on to Brooklands.

[Siy]

This sounds like an awesome meet and far too good to miss as its on my doorstep. If no-one objects I will pop along to admire Will be nice to meet a few more of you.

This should sort it:

[Shmee]

My Mini is going to be far too out of place, maybe I should give the V8V a run out. Anybody care to estimate how many miles the car is good for after the brake pad warning light comes on?

[Slarti]

Ohhhh! I'd so love to come to this but its just so far away from the centre of the universe that is Lancashire!

Don't want to take this thread off-topic, but do we have enough folks north of Brum to warrant organising something similar up here?

Leaving home 11am passing Clacketts approx 11.30 if you want to meet up. Hope they have sorted the appalling potholes since last year. Let me know if you want to meet .
