Do you like Twix?

Do you like shite cars?

Then let us know if you are interested in joining us once again this February July!

Location likely to be my own personal field, Fourstones (near Hexham, very close to the A69 for ease of travel).

We can't offer a mine tour (without digging up the garage floor) but have an old school petrol station for shite photo opportunities and the wonderful Northumberland landscape along the northern borders of the Roman empire (Hadrian's Wall).

Plus a line up of prime shite for you to enjoy*.

Sounds interesting? Let us know. Will do a poll for exact dates later.

I'll bring the Panda, it could use a good thrashing.

If it falls on one of my long weekends from the 9 day fortnight I'm doing, yes.

This coming week will be, then two weeks after that, etc

I also should try to attend one of these things, being an enthusiast of caramel biscuits covered in chocolate.

Have voted in poll but generally quite flexible with dates.

Looks like the weekend of the 22nd/23rd is currently ahead, which suits me well as it allows us enough time to settle down a little. Keep sharing your available dates above and we should have a result by end of the week.

Funnily enough that's the day Inspector Morose voted for so I guess he doesn't want to come either 😂

We'd both like to see everyone - and my old 205 😍 - but not that weekend!

Hmm, breakfast at Truckers then high tail it up for a Twix(fest). Not the stupidest thing I’ve ever done.

Deffo the weekend that suits me best as well, although I would probably be alright to make either of the others as well if needed. 

Might use the time to sort the Panda's coolant issue, it doesn't lose any but it's like strawberry milkshake - the header tank has a few little cracks in it so I'm guessing moisture is able to get in there and mix with the coolant.

23rd would be good for me, I can wangle no lessons that day.   22nd a no go due to ice hockey (not actually playing I ain't that good).
I would be in the yellow Panda of cheerfulness and occasional flashy EML.

I could possibly do the 23rd. Down in Coventry for Race Retro on the Saturday so could head up on the Sunday morning on my way home.

10am start? Unless @Schaefft fancies a lie in. I'll probably be up from 6am either way, because baby.

Happy for people to show up around 10, it's not like these usually require all that much prep work😄
