Unfortunately I'm probably not going to be able to make it - the person I was going to come down with has 90% certain pulled out, and I haven't got a spare £100 to spend on fuel there and back in my car... gutted.

 Hope y'all have a good day, I'll be down at some point for a nosy. Best wishes.

Bugger, we have that stupid Gatecrasher event near us, which means traffic will be a sod.  I'll have to get up earlier  :'(

You had me worried for a moment ... then an Autoroute check on Turweston showed its near YOU .. not WIM !!!....

The "near us" bit made me think it was near WIM .. :)

See you between 1100 & 1200 hopefully :)

Near me, just outside Brackley.  Tends to be held every other year or so.  Can hear it from here, normally crap music.  Tends to cause traffic chaos, though the highways people are used to dealing with big events here (ie British GP)

Lizie .. so stick on the A404 right through High Wycombe ??  

Looked the "straightest" route to me .. but not sure why both TT and AR decide to ignore it !!!

Thanks  :)



Yes indeed straight through High Wycombe, via Haselmere, to Amersham  on to Chesham.

These electronic guides are fine for straight forward routes for the inexperienced who doen't mind the extra mileage for simplicity, but ex-professional car drivers like myself know the quickest routes usually!

All the best
 :y

or at High Wycombe take M40 [j4] to Beaconsfield [j2]  then follow signs to Amesham[ from slip road left then left at roundabout then right at mini rounabout. At Amersham as you come down a hill straight across roundabout [same point if u go thru HW  but turn left]next roundabout right [Tescos]. Next roundabout  left pass camera under railway bridge  straight across mini roundabout
right at next mini then left a double mini roundabout straight across two more mini roundabouts as you come down hill into Chesham
at roudabout turn right - Moor Lane [i think] Chess Business Park on right.

Well everything is in place now.... Food, drinks (hic), free raffle..... Oh and the centre.

We have some superb/ unusual cars on display, so other than the weather we are purged for an entertaining meet for all those who attend.

Apart from the fact we want to show you what we are all about the open days images will be used in our future marketing campaign, so a very valuable and expensive "one -off".

I hope to see you all tomorrow.....

Good luck today and I hope all goes well. I wish I could be there but unfortunately I've got to work and the day's not turning out too well so far!

I'll probably be down before the end of the summer though because i want the geometry set up, even though it doesn't feel too bad (if you ignore the symptoms of the dodgy wishbone!)

Flippin' heck-  it's piddling down here in Saff'end.
Typical Brit weather. Hope it's not gonna spoil the day at WIM too much.

I'm still going though - aim to be there about 11-30

Will see any other members mad enough to brave the rain, there.
Looking forward to meeting at least a few of you -- :y :y

Regards, Big Al
