I had forgotten this and want to go to Gaydon. Anyone else going ?
As I said i'll probably be going, it's only down the road from me and the trip includes a 10 mile blast down my favourite A road. :driving:

It will be a top day I am sure, combine it with a mini-meet seems like a good idea??!!

I dont mind meeting some of the people more South of me and heading up to Gaydon?

Failing that an end of August meet like you say Andy.

I don't mind doing both actually. As long as I get to drive my Z I'm happy...

I'll keep it in mind, chaps, the rents live in Tunbridge Wells.

The only thing i'm worried about is ending up wanting to exchange my Silver Grey R for a White C :D

Sounds like a good idea to me, we could always find a nice local pub for some refreshments.

Just need to hear back from Flymo, since it was him I originally talked about meeting up with just to compare a few mods!

But the idea of a N London meet at a services (?) followed by a convoy to Gaydon sounds good to me?

Whether we leave early or not and head to a pub for a late lunch we can decide on the day? Depends what the weather will be like I imagine, since Gaydon is pretty much all outdoor from what I remember..

Sorry guys - been on a course the last couple of days and internet access is best described as "limited"...

Anyway, I won't be able to make Gaydon but don't want to stop you lot from going so we can rearrange the Kent meet for another time. :)

I just found this over on PH -BMW Meet @ Virginia Water.

Shall we gatecrash that instead of having the Kent meet? We can maybe save the idea of the meet in Kent for when there's less on! lol

You do realise if we're going to go to something as big as Gaydon that I'm really going to have to try and get my carbon roof fitted beforehand! Grrr....

I can't make the PH meet as I'm on my mate's stag do that weekend!

Like you say, maybe we should save the Kent meet for when there's less on...!

I guess I'm just going to have to order the knob unseen! :D

Flymo,

Are you about Sunday evening? I don't mind making our meet a bit later in the day and swinging by your corner of the M25 on the way back from Gaydon?

I'm exhibiting my Zee together with my 335D at Gaydon. Should be a good day out. Hopefully the weather holds up.

If you're thinking near the M25, the missus says there's a decent pub in Eynsford, which is just off junction 3.

Not sure which way you'll be coming back though?
