The Red Cow - Chrishall

[Carbonio]

Has anyone been to the car meets at The Red Cow in Chrishall?

There's one on this weekend and thinking of popping down there as it's not far from me.

[Actus Reus]

I went to the first one this summer, but haven't been able to get back since - might try and go this Saturday with the wife, though may have a bit of a heavy one on Friday night which may rule me out.

Otherwise was a small selection of cars when I went, but quite friendly and breakfast is nice - if you're close, worth a visit. Toby, the owner/chef there is an old schoolmate of mine and I can vouch for his cooking.

[Carbonio]

Thanks for the reply, I'm only about 20 minutes away so think I'll pop down.

Might see you there if the head isn't too fuzzy.

[Actus Reus]

Indeed - if I'm about I'll be in my white Cayman S or, if it's still with Porsche having work done, my courtesy Panamera.

Jim

[Carbonio]

Look forward to seeing you then Jim. Don't suppose you drove through Littlebury in the Cayman on Wednesday last week?

[Actus Reus]

Not me I'm afraid - mine's a white Gen.1 Cayman S - I'm nearer Sawbridgeworth, so around Stortford and that neck of the woods usually, though currently in a Black Panamera S Hybrid which is....different!

[Carbonio]

Panamera Hybrid, didn't even know they did one! What are you getting to the gallon out of it?

[Actus Reus]

Yeah, not been out that long - with toys it's a £100k car though... Clogging it pretty hard for the duration of my ownership, so about 25mpg - my usage probably wasn't representative though. Cayman has just been delivered back home...

[Carbonio]

Glad you have the Cayman back, 25 mpg isn't that bad but would have expected a little more from a hybrid. Just had a look on the Porsche website and it claims 41.5 mpg combined, if only...

[Actus Reus]

At a steady 55mph in 8th gear, maybe, but at 1.1 leptons the hybrid tech adds some power, but also quite a bit of weight... It's a lovely lovely car the Panny, but it's no weekend fun car. I'll be taking the Cayman for a quick blat tonight and can't wait...

[Apache]

what time does it kick off?

[Carbonio]

Well I'll be coming off at the Stortford junction about 19:30 on my way up to Walden, if your about and see a black Quattroporte give us a wave.

9am is the official start - I'll probably aim for about 9:30 assuming I make it.

And at 19:30 I'll be coming off the 18:43 from Liverpool St sadly

[Carbonio]

Well wish I'd got the train after the tailback up to junction 8, at least it was clear from there for a bit of fun.

[Actus Reus]

9:30am looks very likely for me - I'll be meeting a mate in Royston at about 9am, and then heading straight over - white Cayman S so do say hello if anybody's about!

[Apache]

well, have a good time guys, I'll be watching Wallender on Iplayer with a bottle of something interesting....Mrs A has taken the car for a work bash

[Carbonio]

Sorry to hear that bud, always the next meet.

[S6 ROR]

Just a bump for this thread. The sept meet is tomorrow, and the weather is looking good.
So will be taking a trip over in the morning. Think it all starts from 9am onwards.

[Carbonio]

Hope you had a good meet, I'm stuck at work or would have popped over.
