I wonder if the 1 left referes to the 2.0 sport model they talk about in the last paragraph.  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

Maybe, I think that 68 includes the Xedos 9's as well.

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.

Me too, and I’m Richard too so I reckon we’ll be fine! 

Would love more details on where that old tree is please.  

Edit: no, really. I told you I was dull.

Crowhurst village churchyard, about 10min drive from the meeting.

It’s got a mention on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowhurst_Yew

I might have to go there too and see The Old Tree, as I'm also boring.

@RobT, next time let's close the day with a tour, including the Tandridge Yew  as suggested by @timolloyd

Did anyone see the 'normal' people turning up at the Farm in their electric SUVs and looking over the fence at us and saying to their children 'Right Tarquin and Isobelle, we've no idea what is going on over there but under no circumstances go anywhere near those strange people'.

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.

'Trouble with modern trees is there's just more to go wrong'

AS tree hunting sounds like a thread in waiting.

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…

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.
