SO do we have a date for this as I am a soft southerner but could make it

Let's go for 4th June at Evenley, if that's OK ("from 9am" - usually winds up before 12), watch the 30-limit straight off the last r'bout as there's usually the local busybodies with their laser-gun).
I'll check if Squadron Leader's going to be there (that'll be 4 of us), and we can try and round up some of the others on here. Think Mike (sorepaws) is probably only 30-45mins from Evenley...
If anyone wants to convoy down there's a nice A-road run from Stratford across to Banbury*, or from Southam there's a gnarly-but-fun B-road route across to Silverstone (Priors Marston / Maidford / Blakesley), at which point you just swing back towards Brackley then left up the A43 hill... The B4525 is also worth a detour if it's early enough and you're near M40 J11 - my usual route to Silverstone.
PS - Geoff - don't tell anyone but I'm thoroughly southern too...I've been trying to infiltrate these odd Midlands types for 20 years...they MIGHT have twigged on the accent though! ;)
* Looking at the map the split south to Bloxham / Kings Sutton might avoid all the boring / busy roads...not tried that before.
So I'm up for a bit of a convoy, from Coventry. Can meet up with anyone who's travelling past. What's the venue in Evenley ?
It's the pub at the far-right corner of the village green. Gravel car-park at the back, small tarmac one at the front. Wander in, get cuppa and bacon butty, wander back outside, talk rubbish and look at the cars* on show.
* Seen everything from vintage stuff through post-war roadsters to a 488 Spider. Small-ish gathering usually - 12-20 cars.
My Jocklish accent covers my southern- ness very well.
For any other southerners planning to attend we ould meet at Oxford services on the M40 and pootle on up there together. Meet at about 0800-0815?
I shall be there and looking forward to it. I know of another recent NSX owner coming along too.
Cool...with a bit of luck we'll outnumber the Porsche drivers! ;)
I think I'm going to end up missing this, sorry guys. Some good friends are emigrating in a couple of months and this weekend's possibly the last time we're going to get to see them...
Anyone travelling from the Coventry/Warwick area that wants to join up for the jaunt across to Evenly ?
Some photos from todays small meet. Still, the best coloured cars turned up and we out did the Aston Martin turn out. Nice to meet the other NSX owners.
