Anybody fancy getting together to kick tyres and grab a bite to eat?
I was think of Ampthill sort of way as that's (I think) roughly in the middle of Herts, Beds & Bucks area (but happy to be told I failed the colouring in course at school).
I also don't know of any good pubs with good car parks around there.

Weekend in mid May? Sunday 11th? Sunday 18th?

Anybody?

I'm happy to meet up with just a couple of people and it will (should?) make it easier to sort out when smile

I might be able to get down to this, if my cars back on the road in time. I'm aiming for being at Stoneleigh in it, so should be able to take a good run out. What sort of cars are we looking at? I'll be in an MK Indy Bird, all being well.

I (still) really cannot think of any Ampthill pubs with parking right now as they are all a bit town centrey
Lidlington has a couple of pubs which is a village just up the road, as does Woburn, could also look at Flitwick, Clophill (Flying Horse?) and Millbrook- not sure if millbrook has a pub though.

There's the Hare and Hounds in Old Warden - 30 car(ish) car park, very nice food, nice roads and location. Not sure the really low stuff will make it into the car park without turning around, but there's also the vllage hall opposit.

Graeme (Coupe V6)
Simon (? (sorry mate, can't remember what you're running at the mo))
Mark ('Teg DC2)

The Hare & Hounds in Old Warden is here (on the south east side of the road): google map

It's a bit further from the M1 that Ampthill, buth I know it's a nice pub in a nice village with parking there and over the road from there too smile
