Ed,

a drive down your choice roads sounds good to me - just a shame its only 20 minutes

greg

Ed - take it you meant the Thame Loop? Just watch out for the bikers!
Easy to extend loop via the Claydons and some other twisties...x

Dont know those bits.. interesting..! My route is break off a41 about 1 min from pub, signed Brill, through brill (1st couple of miles bit bumpy.. glad not in my ex S2 as pipes sooo low), then down on B4011 (think its called) which is terrific, into pictueresque Long Crendon, then a left on new mini r signed.. erm..cant remember. But it goes through Ashendon, and ends up past TopCats front door in Wescott. Pops out 1 min from pub again (differnt road though)

All you Thames Valley PHers are very welcome to visit us in the paddock at the Tuscan Challenge races. As Ed says, were at Silverstone on 17/18 April and Donington 2 weeks before (3/4 April). and er, lots of other places through the summer....

Do come and have a chat - it's the big white awning containing No 6. The tea urn is always on!!

(P.S. Thanks for moving the meet from the 18th!)

Sounds good to me. I've been in a BobThePlanners Tuscan and Chimera so this will be the next tvr on the list ticked off.

So is the plan to all meet at the pub, have something to eat then go for a drive?

How about meeting pre-lunch before scoff. THen we can discuss who nearly spun where, etc etc, (only kidding!)If we book a group table (ot two) for 1 ish then not up too early for a pre lunch blast.

I dont know all these roads mentioned, but if you fancy my loop we could meet at the big Esso in Bicester(right at the very start of the A41) and convoy from there ?

Guys

Don't forget the A41 has a '50' limit on the section by the bridge near Blackthorn and Marsh Gibbon turn offs... if you don't see the signposts you're blind but still worth noting.

Speed camera in Kingswood too... 60 zone but then thats near the pub anyway

The roads you've said are tasty. I drive the B4011 to work at the golf club near me whenever im home from uni. Lovely hooning roads!

Real shame i can't make this one. Crooked Billet is excellent for food and i blooming live on the route! ggrr

NEXT TIME!!!! (I'll try to nick my bro's 996TT if he gets it!)
