Electric cars are the best cars for 99% of a normal person's driving.

All Audis and BMWs are fitted with functioning indicators.

What are you on about? Parada Spec 2's are perfectly* suited for snow in rural Shropshire 🤪

I had a yellow one like that, hand painted with Tekaloid, yellow to piss off the directors of the company I worked for as it had to be parked round the back of the building as it was 'socially unacceptable'.
 
Until they needed me to drop everything and go to a dinner to take photo's of Henry Cooper.  No company cars available so they had to insure the Imp for company use.

Great heaters in them too, especially on a cold morning. Pity they only warm up once.

Invacars don't deserve the hate they get.

Diesel convertibles are just wrong.

Buying a sports/performance car with an automatic transmission is like marrying a supermodel and cutting your dick off.

Jesus
 

BMWs since the E46 are fucking horrible cheap n nasty shite

I can't see the bike being an issue on the track up to the field so long as its not being noisy for too long or late (there is a next door neighbour).
I've been thinking about Saturday activities.  I imagine a few folk will want to go to Cosford RAF museum which is about 40 minutes away and only charges for parking so it'll make sense to car share.
@Scruffy Bodger is kindly trying to arrange a blacksmithing demonstration in the next village, parking there is a bit limited so again, car sharing would make sense.
Train fans have a bit of a choice, the SVR runs from Bridgnorth and there's a cliff railway too.  Alternatively Telford Steam Railway is a bit more Autoshite, likely to be cheaper and I could have a word about doing a group thing as I used to volunteer there years ago.
For the active types the campsite is at the bottom of the biggest hill in Shropshire if you want to walk/run/cycle up.  There's a bit of industrial heritage up there but including the pub would make it a long walk.
Or.....There are canoe/kayak hire companies that put you in a boat in Bridgnorth and fish you out downstream and hand you a ticket to get back on the SVR.  I did it last year with work and really enjoyed it despite falling in.  This needs booking a week or two beforehand.
Obviously you can also just chill on site and wait for the hangover to subside or find something else to do.

Rightio, the nagging has paid off and I've got it booked.  Location is my mates field/woods/campsite near Bridgnorth in Shropshire.  Should be quite reasonably priced so long as we tidy up afterwards.

Edit #1
Lets make the location easy to find.
What3 words to the entrance.  ///bungalows.next.windmills
Which looks like this

The open one on the left.
From above.

Access is from Ashfield Road, the track marked on Google heading South East doesn't exist as far as I know.
Further out.

Nice one chap.
Bit far though 😎

If I can wangle this it's likely to be the first Shitefest in England I've had to travel north to get to... 😂

YES. 
I don't drink any more so you're all slightly* safer too. 
Considering I only own sports toasters now and have no car buying plans (?!), I'm not sure which I'll bring, probably the Civic as it's more interesting, and doesn't scrape on much for how low it is. I can't sleep in either (probably) so I'll likely tent it. I hate storing tents...

As a newbie to the Forum, how do these sort of meets play out (sorry if that's a silly question). I'd like to make it to this if I can as I'd love to get proper stuck in but have no idea how these things sort of go (would help to know so I can decide if to drag the Mrs along or not 😂).
