Impromptu meet up/drive out Cotswolds-ish

[GR_TVR]

I'm game if I'm around - not too many weekends free plus a holiday coming up, though.

Oh, and the small matter of getting my car back on the road

Anyone fancy a repeat performance when the weather next behaves itself? Gutted my car was MIA for the day

Jas I just caught your flyby noise videos on YT. Top work, have to say how good it looks in comparison having the Mk3 style lights! Has to be a must surely the next time we get some cars together. 5,6, however many Chims, all flying by on WOT, now that's a video I want to see

Those clips were done when we met previously.... got a few more but they need a bit of editing which I've never done before.
I'm really pleased with the lights... it was a mod I wanted doing for quite sometime and although seeing many in the flesh and pics you're never quite sure what it's going to look like on your own car.
Although having the benefit of the upgraded 7" lights I've not noticed any real major difference between the old set up,little bit better,but not a lot in it. Hardly do any night driving so not much of a concern really

I'm up for another meeting

[CanoeSniffer]

How does next weekend look for everyone, 12th-13th?

[GR_TVR]

Pretty good, actually.
I've got a mate coming over at some point but he's not confirmed any dates or times yet.

[plfrench]

Next weekend is good for me. Saturday would be better, but could do the sunday if that suits others.

[blaze_away]

Next weekend is good for me either day is ok.

[CanoeSniffer]

Should we call it Saturday?

Where's everyone travelling from? Hopefully we can find somewhere that's a fair distance all round.

[plfrench]

Great stuff! I'm in Loughborough.

[GR_TVR]

I'm near Northampton.

[CanoeSniffer]

Bloody hell I hadn't realised just how far north all you fellas are

Would Banbury suit? Seems fairly central with Dave travelling from Oxf. and myself from Wilts, just down the road from Neil Garners. Means we can all enjoy a bit of a drive on the way

[plfrench]

Yes, Banbury's fine for me, although I reckon I'm going to end up going past my 1000 miles run-in service at this rate

[GR_TVR]

Yep no problem for me! If my mate is hanging round I'll just bring him

[Squirrelofwoe]

Saturday works for me too, somewhere around the Banbury area looks a good shout- hopefully the weather plays ball!

[Squirrelofwoe]

Anyone have any ideas for a decent pub/location around the Banbury area to meet up at? In the past we've met at The Moon & Sixpence at Hanwell as they have a decent sized car park, good food/drink, and have always been very car-friendly!

Open to other suggestions though as it's not exactly my local area!

[plfrench]

Happy to meet there again, but like you Dave it's not an area I know well...

On another note, is the Brill Festival Chimaera display still happening on 27th Aug?

I've not heard anything to suggest otherwise!

[GR_TVR]

Don't know the area too well, that pub mentioned above looks nice, though!

There's a lovely pub in kings sutton, but it wouldn't be ideal for a meet due to a small car park. Would recommend it for somewhere to take the missus at some point, however!

What time shall we meet?

[griffdude]

Guys, be aware that it's Fairport Convention at Cropredy from Thursday to Sunday so there will be a lot of traffic on the A361/A423 North out of Banbury.
