Monthly St Neots Meet : 11th August

[feef]

Monthly meet time on the 11th?

10:30ish to 12ish?

Riverside Car Park, St Neots.

As there's now a Junior Parkrun in the park, the carpark is getting busier. Last month we congregated in the corner closest to the road/roundabout (by the defunct charging points) as the central area was busy. It's also more visible there from the road, so shall we use that area again this time?

I won't make it as I'll be en-route to the channel tunnel with the family.

I'll be there.. had to change our dates.

The Alfa has gone*, so I'll bring along the new bus... Something a little left-field and uncommon, even if it's not that 'interesting', and certainly not performant in the usual PH sense.

(*the list of impending failures was getting longer and more expensive. I felt it prudent to get shot now before it started costing serious money just to keep it on the road)

Some clues that won't give it all away, so we can play 'guess the new bus' please...

Petrol/diesel?
Number of cylinders?
Engine capacity?
Front/rear/all wheel drive?

Diesel

4 Cyl

2.2

Selectable 4 wheel drive

Can't recall a Citroen with selectable 4 wheel drive, so is it a Honda CR-V or Freelander 2?

You'll just have to wait and see

That being said, do you really think I'd go for something as boring as either of those suggestions?.......

You did say "it's not that 'interesting'", however I'm as relieved as you are that it's not as boring as either of those two.
So when you said "The Alfa has gone", that could have been a decoy? Is it an Alfa Stelvio?

Not a Stelvio.

'How Many Left' has fewer than 3000 on the road for this model.

Hmmm - wait a minute - is it a (Mitsubishi Outlander-based) Citroen C-Crosser?

Ahh you're good

If it’s a local car I might know it-used to look after one in this spec at Citroen Letchworth. Original owner was a smashing chap.

Hampshire + Dorset / HV reg. Not sure where the previous owner was tho, still waiting for the V5 to come through. AIUI the dealer I got it off received it from a Citroen main-dealer.

anyone going to the hot rod show after @ shuttleworth?

Don’t know what my plans are for the rest of the day yet but that’s an option.
