Sussex / Surrey spring jaunt to the coast.
Discussion
O.k. guys, it's time for another leisurely 
amble through the quiet lanes of Sussex.
A bit short notice I'm afraid, got caught out by Easter.
Usual meet venue, Old Barn Nursery at 8.00 for an 8.15 departure on 1st April.
We'll be taking the long route to Chichester for breakfast at the marina, booked for 9.30, also if anybody wishes, there's the opportunity to pop into Goodwood on the way home for the Italian breakfast meet.
As always, numbers please.

Bugger if I had a
machine I would have joined in the fun 
Hi Del.
Sadly I don't think I can make this one
As mentioned on the other Sussex/Surrey thread, I have developed a Coolant Temp Sensor fault which causes the car to idle at 1500 instead of 1000. Apart from the fact that I'm eating petrol I don't want to cause any knock-on problems. Car booked into Dave Batty to cure on the Monday after the run.
Could always bring the Rover 75! 
Hope you all have a good 'un
Whats the matter with the beastie Phil?

If I can make it I will have a spare seat too Ian, if needed....?
Later
Mike
I'm STILL laid up and awaiting MRI scans etc etc
All this great weather with the Chim just sat there in the bloody garage
If I had and hair I'd be pulling it about now!
Still all this time at home must equate to lots of 'PH Run Tokens' from the wife when the weather gets better (she'll be sick of the sight of me by then)...
Have a good one fellas!

Phil & Mike:
Thank you both for your offers - If you both have your cars on the road by then - Perhaps 1 on the way there and 1 on the way back? I've never been in either car so it would make up for not myself.
Again, thanks chaps.
...Hmmm...you do know I don't 'give out' on a first date...right?

Hi and welcome to Rob, Chris and Mark, always good to have new faces among the motley crew that we usually attract. The route has been sorted, all we need now is good weather
