Lots of battery charging/ swapping this morning, but on the 3rd one the old girl roared into life, so I'll be there this evening.
I hope somebody there has a good battery that I can hook my jump leads to if I get stuck hehe

Nice mid week meet. Good turn out all in all, good to see some new & old faces. Will pop up the small number of pictures that I took later.

Good hearing SeanC's Spa's stories.... Very random that Alfa Owner just happened to be driving passed and stop by! :-)

Great effort by Steve considering he had to do a tyre change on route! Hope it was worth it even for the brief chat!

I'm sort of glad you couldn't as I've had to forget it, due to a no show delivery of a new smartphone with a 'window' of 8AM-8PM, FFS! I'm really getting angry with these incompetent delivery couriers and their inability to use even a modicum of 'common sense' or consideration to ring the contact no./leave a message/or even fill out their 'missed delivery' card!

Apologies to all, hope you had a good knees/ankles up! wink

P.S. Steve Fisher, PM me to arrange a meeting or to come view the 20VT at Dunsfold. My Car For Sale ad. may, hopefully, be up later tonight.

So not the best start to my first Coupe meet. A flat tyre on the usually bullet proof Mazda!!! rolleyes

The 6 handles well and she was feeling unusually twitchy on right hand bends. So stopped and my fears were confirmed. Slow puncture!

After a 20 minute pit stop, hands covered in oil and dirt decided the space saver would be up to the remaining 12 miles. I was keen to get there.

Got to the car park late! No Coupe's frown

Thought "I'll give em 20 mins they've gone for their drive". Five minutes later I heard the familiar woosh of Coup's in the distance.

Happiness restored.

Had a great time meeting you guys. Awesome cars you all own. Thanks for answering my dumb questions and your patience with me. Good luck with the conversion Alfa Owner.

Here's a few photos (apologies for the HTC. It usually does a great job but the light was fading).

Now I just need to get my hands on one for myself smile

I feel your pain. I'm often waiting in for parcels with my IT Business. Costs me time and money!!!! rolleyes

I'll take a look at the ad when it comes up and then send you a PM.

Best wishes

I'm in Didcot. Plan is to take the fun country route to Wantage and then towards Hungerford. Then maybe further afield from there. Really nice roads all the way along there.

Rush: you're more than welcome, mate. And anyone else who's up for it - make the first meet of the year!
