Starting to look better than I thought it might, when I fist started the thread!

Should be great!

Hopefully we have good weather and you're all sober smile

Just off to Oslo but back on Saturday... Need to find time to clean a car or two!

KO at 11am.

We may be there slightly earlier just to make sure it's all set up ok (i.e. doors open, kettle on).

However, I'd suggest getting there before 12pm, which is when the pub is open to everyone.

Sorry guys - tried to reply but PH seemed to disappear for me!

Grass shall be used, no problem. Nice and flat and easy to get on/off smile

Just rang to confirm the booking is ok - All good for 11am smile

I think the BMW 545i will be absent... We had a tree/ rear light altercation pre-Oslo frown

DPD didn't deliver the new one to the safe place so it's laid up.

Will try and figure out how to get the pup there with us as she ain't going in the V6!

This is great smile

Newbies, Mustangs, Lotus etc ALL more than welcome!

Looking forward to this - didn't think the turnout would be nearly as good!

We'll likely stay for lunch so be there well past 12pm - Dog and Mrs9 in tow!

As it's local I'll try and come along - probably bring the F40 or 488
As much as I'd love to see a 488... the F40 is my favourite car of all time and that would be amazing to see!

Looks like the rain is staying away until 4pm, according to my phone so we should be in for some nice, dry grass!

You can have rain... just not until later this afternoon!

Just passed a GT4 and GT3RS after giving the Clio V6 a blast at the Shell jet wash. Looks like there should be a good turn out!

These are the skies on Oxshott Heath, looking towards the Fairmile:

Perhaps a bit windy for a drone but it would be great to get some pics up here!

Mrs9 is just applying the war paint and then we'll head over. Wanted to get there a touch before you guys so I know it's all set up (they have the kettle on).

Clouded over a bit now but still warm and bright!

Thanks Jon and everyone who attended!

We're just home after a roast and I think there were only a handful of cars left.

Was a great turnout and must have been ~35 cars or so at peak. Think a few had left by the time the drone was launched.

Great to have Traxx's F40 in attendance and a nice, diverse selection of cars. Loving the Escort van there, at the end and V10 Ram.

The weather gods smiled on us, which helped, no doubt and thanks to the Caterham owner for giving some kids a run round the field - Very kind!

Definitely worth making this a monthly event (at least through summer) based on today smile

Get your pics up as it's good publicity for the next one!!

Very kind of you, even if it was ooooooonly a Westie wink

I think that was about the right amount of cars, maybe one more row could have worked.

Food was also surprisingly good (I'd never eaten there)!

Thanks for bringing the F40!

If you want to roll it down Steels Lane one weekend, i'll make you a cup of tea!

Yes, was a good meet, thanks for organising it, Dom. Look forward to the pics.
And thank you for bringing that manly hunk of gold!

I didn't take any pics other than:



F50 next time Traxx?

Thank you all for coming!

I did little more than make a couple of calls!

I think the good weather was probably a bigger factor smile

Forgot about the yellow 'Grale - gorgeous!

Sorry I didn't get to meet everyone but hopefully we'll all get to put some more names to faces at the next one!

Will pop down there and see if they kept the 1st Sunday of each month free for us as I didn't want to commit until we saw how this one went. We can then get the ball rolling on the next one!
