NOTE CHANGE OF DATE & TIME: now Monday 29th August - 6:45am - near Maidenhead

We're looking to join up with the Thames Valley Pistonheads fraternity for a 90 minute or so drive followed by breakfast.

Anyway, who's up for it...?

I love this run, its a sensible pace with a good chat and brekkie to finish off. Count me in ... and as its Bank Holiday I would go with the early (or earlier) start time ...

I'd be interested but I think it's SWMBO's birthday weekend.

As there's only limited interest Ewan, would you be Ok if we changed this to the Monday and set off around 7am?

Would really score some good brownie points at home:)

Is it just me & Paul, then...?

Martin said he would come on the 28th but not sure if the change of date sits well with him... there are a few "regulars" who're out for the weekend due to birthdays etc. Anyone else fancy it?

The plan is to meet up nice & early, have a blat across some very good roads with a tight little tunnel on the way if you want to see how loud your exhaust is... end up at Heston's Little Chef for brekkie and those that are minded to have a Hindhead tunnel run could probably accomodate it on the way back ...

Potentially ok but 7am a bit early maybe a wee bit later? 7.45-8 perhaps...

OK, let's split the difference and say start time of 7:30am. Later and we run the risk of hitting bank holiday traffic.

All,

Ewan has spotted a thread on Pistonheads for a drive out with the Thames Valley region.

With only 2 or maybe 3 of us we've decided we will try to join this event.

Please advise if you would like to join (weather permitting) and once one of us receives the route details we can PM you with the start address.

Gary, Simon,

Are you guys still planning on joining us?

regards, Paul

Start time is 0645 for a 0700 sharp depart, just west of Maidenhead, followed by a 90 mile drive that ends at breakfast around 10 miles south-east of Oxford.

Well that was a quick one that started with a 5am alarm call and a 90 min drive to the starting point!

Good mix of cars that included a 355, 2 x GTR's and a screaming supercharged CTR amongst others

Must be the time f year as there was lots of roadkill unfortunately ...

Ewan and I had good run, and Kare had good run with the Essex PH runners

I'm beginning to think Papa may be onto something with these cars .... Keep 'em clean boys and girls ...

Rgds, Paul

Good to hear you guys had a good one.....we also had a brilliant run. Was joined at the 11th hour by NSX 2000 in his CTR Mugen and L696ULO joined us at the 8 Ball Diner final destination.
