The local Skoda dealer was flogging a red 2.0 sport manual in about 2014 for £not a lot. I bloody wish I'd gone for it egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inconsistant Posted March 26 Author Share Posted March 26 Instead of leaving it a year I thought I'd add my photos now, along with saying a massive thanks to everyone who made it. Sorry I missed chatting to a few of you. I've missed @richardmorristwo years running now! Loved seeing and sitting in the Shad, what a car! Thanks @Weird Car for putting in the mpgs to get it there! Loved @RobT's Exodus Six. Really taken by @Rust Collector's Trans Sport. Thinking person's Espace. All in a great morning and a fine example of what Autoshite does best: really interesting chod and vaguely interesting chat. Can't wait until next year. Thanks All!

Crowhurst village churchyard, about 10min drive from the meeting. It’s got a mention on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowhurst_Yew https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Great_British_Trees inconsistant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobT Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I might have to go there too and see The Old Tree, as I'm also boring. egg, inconsistant, lisbon_road and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timolloyd Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Also worth visiting the Yew in Tandridge churchyard, which is the same age and just a few miles away. lisbon_road, richardmorris, RobT and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobT Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 The tree tour sounds like a good plan. A very AS thing to do. lisbon_road, richardmorris, Yoss and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 This tour would have to include the Farringdon Yew, in the churchyard in the village of the same name near Alton. It doesn't look very well but it is still going. And according to this sign is thought to be one of the ten oldest in the country. The church itself is getting on a bit too.

Rust Collector Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Now all we need is a catchy name for the cruise around the oldest trees in the area, something like Autoshite Southeast Meet 2025: Operation Yewtree. On second thoughts… egg, richardmorris, wesacosa and 6 others 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardmorris Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I’ve seen two on the list now, the other being the Ankerwycke yew at runneymede. Trees of that age, it’s quite amazing to sit and look at them and contemplate on all they’ve been through and “witnessed”. This crowhurst tree was probably around when the Egyptian Pharoes were building pyramids. egg, Yoss and Rust Collector 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
