MG TF 160, maybe a Trophy!

For all the engine foibles, I'm used to swapping them out from my time with Lotus Motorsport!

Maybe... Never been interested in a cab before but you look at the prices of MGFs, Boxsters and Mk3 MR2s and it does make you think!

Anyway, anyway...

Who is coming to the meet on the 2nd?

Spread the word and let's have a turnout like last time biggrin

My scalp is a little better protected biggrin

My little Pug project doesn't have AC... Does make you think in this weather!

Is everyone away? Take-up seems slower this time round...

Cheeky fecker. Watch out next time I'm there. I'll prove the MGF really is a hairdresser's car and bring some clippers to give you a bald patch when you're not looking.

Not having a car with a/c is fine if you have a sun roof.

Mrs9 doesn't let me have a buzz cut anymore frown

No sunroofs chez 9 - all that weight and loss of rigidity wink

It's why I've never had a cab... yet!

Where is everybody (as nice as it is bantering with you, Hoofy)?

PS I was in Epsom today - should have offered you lunch but was on the hop.

I used to do Yorkshire fish and chip runs. Meet at pub, 45 min drive to fish and chip shop, have a natter than drive home. I dont know the south well enough to suggest something similar but an evening run sometime would be good if anyone's up for it someday. Just a suggestion.
Fish and chip run sounds like a laugh.

Infact, I've been thinking about attempting to organise a drive out for charity...

I've been inspired by the "Drive for Cancer" event in the States, and having been affected myself, I thought it might be cool to do something similar - if not on a smaller scale. A morning blast to the coast and a small donation to a cancer charity, maybe?

Just thinking out loud smile

Could try and tie it in? Meet at the pub early, blast to the coast and back for coffee and lunch, hopefully avoiding most of the traffic?

Swerni, Tonks et al - you guys still up for it?

Weirdly the pub called me just after I posted last, checking it was still on and booking a couple more into the future smile

Would be good to get a healthy turnout so that they keep the day free for us in the future!

I'll still be along! I knew FoS would have an affect on numbers, but not to this level hah. I put the word out on South East Scoobies, and most members are also at FoS! Might have a couple from Surrey Scoobies though, as this venue is their regular spot.

RE: The drive out - I might be putting plans together to sort a full one out soon. smile

Good stuff - I put the word out round SELOC, 205 GTi Drivers and the Clio V6 forum too smile

We could combine the August one with a run out?

Nice one. And yeah, that could be a plan!
