GrumpiusMaximus Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Nice to see you all again. Sorry I had to shoot off... bit frustrating as I really needed a coffee at that point! I did get some pictures, I haven't had a chance to look through them yet but will pop them up when I have. egg, Christine and RobT 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinmasters Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 There are (a very few) things which should take priority over shonky old cars; hopefully Mrs Maximus is feeling better.

DSdriver Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Sorry I missed the meet, it would have been good to put some faces to the names - you never get what you expect I've got a shonky excuse note signed allegedly by DSdriversmum cos I have just been in hospital having new brackets welded onto my exhaust system (hernia repair) and am forbidden to drive for a fortnight or do any heavy lifting for six weeks.When's the next meet? egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobT Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 and a couple from sussex Thanks for the drive of the Popemobile Freelander yesterday.

GrumpiusMaximus Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Might bring the Focus to the next one. Although November 3rd and 4th I have concerts, so can’t be there on those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 We don't normally plan this far out, but the next one could be say, 18th November? How does that sound for people? Gone for 12pm rather than 2pm because of shorter days by then. RobT, Christine and DSdriver 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 A good few years ago , I suppose I was about 18 - 20 , you could get into the old Aerodrome up at Detling .The gates were busted open and the fence was down .Derelict ... Is it still there or has it been built on? I took my 210 gearbox kart up there and raced my mate around the tarmac loop. He had a Dolly Sprint. It was a bit scary ,running next to a car at stupid speed .... Then the Police arrived, blues and two's and that , and we got into trouble.. There was dug outs, bunkers and a control tower if I recall ? edit : I'll take a look on Google streetview ! edit edit : Bah, the aerodromes still there ,and the loop , and loads of industrial units ,probably with security egg and RobT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSdriver Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 The old aerodrome is now home to the County Show and various other events, and a property auctioneer. Local legend has it that old cars including a Rolls Royce were used to obstruct the runway in case of foreign invasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 No , the aerodrome bit I was on about is further up old hangers and buildings just past the cafe on the same side , see google map . Well, the tower and that ...though i suppose the showground was the landing area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fumbler Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 November might just be good for me to take a visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 18th November seems reasonable to me, I can’t think of anything I may or may not have planned. Might be in the missus infernal Fiat 500x again. One of the few occasions where having the newest vehicle in the car park is a source of shame rather than one upmanship. Is there such a thing as one downmanship? GrumpiusMaximus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fumbler Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I thought that would be reserved for parking your car up for good because it's ruined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpiusMaximus Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Oh, by the way. Cheers for the mags, Christine! Lady Grumpius still has a chest infection... Should be up for the 18th of November. I may have had time to recover from my NY holiday, work, followed by two concerts at the weekend, then more work by then!

Joey spud Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I will come along with the Hiace so everyone can marvel at the shonky paintwork and the single swivel seat in the back. egg and RobT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
