Just a heads up, meeting on Sat 24th July for a pub lunch before heading up to Peninsula, so far going YIW1393, Serby, Dennis the menace, JamieT, Pottsy and myself. Pub to be confirmed, suggestions welcome.

Enjoy!

There's no problem with the club, after all I've just spent a week with the club in Le Mans and had a cracking time, the 'Splinter group' is just a bit of tongue in cheek fun because the 'club' members don't support anything that I organise in the area, it would be better to work together I agree I've got loads of enthusiam and ideas but I can't see it changing at the moment unless someone from the club wants to prove me wrong?..........

'Splinter group'


The region has a meet organised for the Peninsula Open Day and also a days flying at Exeter Airport on the Sunday, so why do we have to have a Splinter Group? I'm quite sure there will be a pub involved somewhere along the line.

There are a couple of people who can't make Sunday and there are a couple of people that don't want to go with the club, I don't see why the club has to make an issue about this easier we'll just label them SW PH meets if the word Splinter upsets people?

You also said "the 'club' members don't support anything that I organise in the area". Corin apart from Le Mans when was the last regional meet you attended? It works both ways.

Slapton

Let’s not get into another slagging match on this. It does the name of TVR and the D&C region no good at all!

Absolutely no intention of doing so Pete.

As John said "why can't we just do things as a club"?

PH is bigger than the club and although it does predominantly cater for TVR there are a lot of people scooting round in stuff like Lotus' and Porsches etc that might want to get out on a run in this area?



I hope that answers some questions.
Please, please, please, let's not cause any grief on here, there's plenty of room for anyone to do anything in this region..

For everyone who isn't offended, hopefully we are going to be able to use Tipton Garage's rolling road to get some BHP measurements before we go to lunch on the Saturday!

I will confirm this tomorrow!

Tipton Garage, Tipton St Mary - about ten minutes away from Peninsula. There's also a pub that's been recommended to me in the village called 'The Golden Lion' good tucker apparently!

What I have done is book the rolling road for a couple of hours (£75) then whoever want to go on the rollers goes on and we split the cost - easy!

Corin,

I'm due to pick up my car from Peninsula on the Saturday morning, having been serviced, zorst modded and generally spoilt rotten.

I'd love to take the opportunity to see what she's got, but I'm really short on time due to a Wedding Commitment.

Any chance of being first on the rollers, subject to the car being ready of course.

I'd need to be away by 11.00 at the absolute latest or Mary will kill me.

Simon


No problem at all sir!

Hello!
A couple of foreigners here, well Northampton actually. We go down to the south-west every 6 weeks or so, and stay in Honiton. We're planning to be down next weekend (24/25th) and as it sounds like there's lots going on we may take the Cerbie instead of the dull old Vectra.
So, can we join in the fun ?
Please, please, please


The more the merrier! Looking forward to seeing everyone!

O.K. we have a problem! Tipton Garage has had a to-do with one of their neighbors and have had to agree to not using the rolling-road after 5pm or at weekends!!! So it would seem we are stuffed for this Saturday!

Any suggestions for an alternative?

What do you want to do?

Peninsula have phoned me for numbers attending, they have the Sagaris there etc.
