Long winded Mercedez CLK Convertible Collection

[Six-cylinder]

Time to confess, I have bought HMC's CLK 320 convertible!

Now time to sort a collection plan.

The plan I have talked to HMC about is Saturday 23rd Nov. I really enjoyed staying over in Glasgow and meeting up with the guys up there when I collected the Sebring, I was wondering  if local shiters would like to meet up with me, Hairnet, HMC and his friend in Tavistock to have an evening dinner and I am staying over in a hotel?

"sorry @HMC, deals off as I prefer the Kia Rio..." 

[HMC]

Count me in, plus I think my former neighbour Steve ( welder extraordinaire, triumph and jaguar parts guy) would be a good addition to the table so ill ask him.

I would love to meet up with you all, I fear Tavistock would be to far for me to travel and the car would break down or I would. Probably the latter... I shall consult maps and see routes etc. There used to be a really good Chinese restaurant in Yelverton which isn't too far away from you.

[hairnet]

too far *points laughs

beko pay beep and chris says he'll cough drop it off in thame

upgrade from what you have now

The planned venue is now the Queens head in Tavistock, Wetherspoons.

Saturday 23rd November

I would love to meet you, you still have a week to prep the car.

If I take the scenic route over t'Moors it;s 34.7 miles. Questions about Mercedes reliability aside, can my aged and decrepit body make it that far? Answers on the back of a five pound note to....

Yes guitar collection could be added to the trip for egg.

@egg "Anyone near Tavistock who is travelling Eastward at some point in the next 6 months?

I might have a bid on this guitar if someone could please collect on my behalf."
