Would anyone be up for a possible sunday blat on you've guessed it...Sunday!?! driving

I've checked the weather and it looks as though there might well be a gap in this awful weather so in a bid to 'make the most of it' I was wondering who would be up for it!?!

Suggested meeting point:

The De Havilland Arms (Public House next to Morrisons)
Elvetham Heath
Fleet (Junction 4a of the M3)
Hampshire

at say 10am?

Please show your hands to see what the concensus is! No planned route as such but either the south coast or uptowards oxford (lovely roads through the Ridgeway area (Pangbourne/Streetley up towards Didcot etc). Any suggestions welcome!

In light of the changing weather, may I recommend that we all check back here from 9am on sunday morning to make sure its still on!

Hopefully see you there!

Regards

Paul

Good stuff!

My friend and I will make are way over from Reading in our Clio's. We had arranged a blat already for Sunday morning - this looks like a more interesting proposition and a chance to check out some other motor's smokin

Do you have a postcode for the pub by any chance?

Flying back from Barca in the morning tomorrow and planned to be in Reading on Sun pm, so if I can I'll get an early start and mooch over...

Are BMW's allowed, or should I bring the Disco?

Disco may be a little hard work, suggest the Beemer!

Good to meet you all today and for a 'spirited' drive - see you again soon. Maybe head over towards Berks Downs next time - my old stomping grounds and some great roads.

A few pics (email me via profile if you want originals?):

Paul I emailed you some of that info via your PH profile last night (at least I think I did...)

I'll send another for good measure.
