MartT Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Ok, short of weather forecast being cr*p for Sunday but excellent for Monday, I'm taking the Westie to Stoneleigh on the Sunday. So far there will hopefully be at least 2 other Westies (Gav and Stan) plus a Lotus, Lancia and TVR. (Glen ... definitely worth the trip if family commitments allow) Plan is to meet at Michaelwood services on M5 at 9.15 (tbc) then M5 to Worcester (pitstop for cuppa and bacon sarnies) then A roads to Stoneleigh. Return journey will be more direct. A roads all the way. Any other takers? Feel free to hijack thread for coordinating a Monday group.

MartT Posted April 22, 2005 Author Share Posted April 22, 2005 One just for you Buzz ... All Drivers beware I was recently robbed at a traffic light during an increasingly common scam! This scam involves a young woman who proposes to wash your car windows while you wait at a red light. At the same time, an accomplice takes advantage of the distraction to open the back door and steal whatever’s available. Be warned, they are very well organized! It is recommended that you observe the following precautions: 1 Don't leave your doors or windows open if you drive up to a red light 2 If your windows do get washed, don't look at the women doing this, as they will try to divert your attention 3 Do not feel any pity for them for being poor just by the state of their shoddy clothes – it’s all an act, as they are stealing a large amount of cash! ↓ Please inform all your friends of this new scam. They got Me twenty times already – today! They also got me four times yesterday, four times on Tuesday and six times on Sunday (I couldn't find the corner they were working on Monday).

MartT Posted April 25, 2005 Author Share Posted April 25, 2005 Ignoring weather my run to Stoneleigh is on Sunday. Anyone travelling from the South West is welcome to join us and my folks are getting in the bacon sarnies in anticipation of a handful of noisey motors waking their little backwater! If you are intending on being at the pitstop, please can you drop me a line (post here, PM or email) so that I have an idea of numbers. There's room for about 10 - 12 cars at my folks, so space for another 4 or so. piccie from last year... Alternatively, join us at Michaelwood (M5 just north of M4 interchange) then leave M5 at (say) Tewkesbury and take A46. I think that would take you almost to the gates of Stoneleigh. don't forget your waterproofs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartT Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 John See you Sunday. Hope you bring the Westie. Where are you travelling from? Cheers Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8336 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Hi Martin A small town called Callington, in east Cornwall. I intend to bring Westie if weather appropriate. I don't like hoods, but don't want to get car wet inside 'cause of carpets on tunnel etc. I want to see Jill Judd, and find out if the bits she is making for SV Caterhams can be modded to suit my car. I'm on USA trip, and Westfield luggage provision is even worse than in my previous car (Caterham). John G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartT Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 Don't worry about using the roof. If it's pi##ing down, mine will be on. Anyway BBCi this morning suggested reasonable weather in the midlands for the weekend Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
