    Most of the rest of these reprobates are "dahn sarf", so we'll not see them venturing north of the Watford Gap without a local guide...

    I may be able to rustle up a few decent petrolheads to head to Evenley (to be fair, there's a bunch of decent guys already attend...)
    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.

    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...

    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.
