I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules posting this, but I thought there may be some interest among us for a visit to BMW HQ on Sunday 16 December.
If I have, sorry. Anyway Mods can delete if I have transgressed.
Anyway it's a Pistonheads Sunday Service event, and places will be limited (to 500 IIRC from last time). They go on offer some time tomorrow, so if you want to go you probably need to be quick!

I've put my name down so hopefully the weather won't be too awful or else I'll be taking the Volvo!

I have just registered, but have some doubt that I can make it. Need to check when at home.

My doubts were well-founded. Already have a family commitment for the 16th.

I've put my name down for it. Seems like there will be a lot of people going. They said it's 400 cars, but they can have about 800 people. Even though I am at the bottom of the list, past the 400 cut off, do I still go regardless?

No - as per the note shown at 400 in the list:

Thanks for clearing that up for me Chris. It's the very first time I've ever tried to do a PH meet. I didn't understand the concept that was being used to sign up., even though I could see the date and location being confirmed.rally-chris wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 12:34 pmNo - as per the note shown at 400 in the list:

Unlikely I will get on the list, so I will have to look out for another meet that I don't need to be a ninja to get onto the signup sheet the secon it goes live!

You might make it onto the list - it's not unusual for quite a few people to drop out when it gets nearer the date. So it's definitely worth checking.Felix79 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 07, 2018 1:32 pm Thanks for clearing that up for me Chris. It's the very first time I've ever tried to do a PH meet.

I've climbed high enough to be able to go now. So I'll be there for around 9am and leaving 10.30ish with my old man.

Excellent news Felix - would you fancy meeting up at Chieveley on the way there at about 8.15?
