Pretty sure the planned dates are in the middle of September, but nothing set in stone yet.

Nice one Chris, congrats on the new motor... ! I'm sort of between you and Glastonbury, out in the sticks a bit. I'm signed up for the Haynes meet but it is a while away.......... maybe someone should sort a Sunday morning drive out over Exmoor or somewhere and a pub lunch.... ? Not sure I may be volunteering myself here !

Well that makes two of us, though it might be a little sad with just two cars blatting over the moor... ! I took Trev for a spin up over Exmoor to Lynmouth recently in the sunshine, but yet to get down as far as Dartmoor, could be a possibility maybe ? Cheddar is also a good bet, though wherever it is, a half decent pub might need to be suggested and sorted first !

Had a little blat out to the Farmers Arms at Combe Florey the other evening, a great pub and a nice drive from up here !

Sounds like a plan to me !!!! If the Noble is in, I'm in.........!! Any suggestions Paul ? Meet Taunton Hankridge Farm, blat down to Dartmoor or Exmoor for a Sunday lunch, maybe back part of July?

I could just do with a small get together, not hundreds of cars tho, a good drive out in the sunshine (if we have any left by then), some great cars and good chat !

I think that makes 3 of us then, not sure but that might be the start of it !

I have my own garage so don't really use others. however trevor is a good guy I've known him for about 18 years and he certainly had all the diagnostic software. however I know he has been scaling down his operation over the last couple of years.
whats actually wrong with your roof?
I'm moving house over the next couple of weeks so hopefully will be finished by then so it will be good to have a blast about
