'Fun'.... 

I could potentially be around on Sunday Morning. 

[M'coli]

Not a morning person, so won't be along.

I'd be deffo up for a meet up

Golden Acre is a nice place but it will be packed.

Have you thought about meeting up at The Motorist. They have a cars and coffee every Sunday. Sherburn Aero Club next door and 2 scrap yards down the road.

Some nice driving roads about too.

@morrisoxide a good thought, will update on that soon. Motorist was also on my list as somewhere to go.

[Anglevan]

I'd be happy for a meet at the motorist, I'm Wakefield based..

If we met at the motorist, would it be possible to park there as a group? I understand it's a massive site...

I would think so if we all park on the grass or gravel unless it is really busy. It generally is a bit quieter on the Sundays i.e. people coming and going.

Ok, then I'm happy to go with the motorist. I only suggested somewhere near me because I wondered if a few shiters were on Bradford side of Leeds. I'll update this thread.

[egg]

Shall we have a list of possible AS attendees?

I'm a possible but I barely know what I'm doing today nevermind three weeks time.

[HillmanImp]

I'd like to object to you changing the first post and making it look like I'm suggesting that The Motorist is better at 11pm.

I couldn't work out how to add myself to the list but I've put it in my diary.

[1duck]

Did the motorist last weekend, it's only 20-25 minutes away, see how I feel on the 7th.

[Volksy]

I may be working that Sunday. But if not, I'll try as the the Merc only goes to and from my local station these days, and could probably do with a bit of a run.

[morrisoxide]

I meant to add google maps locations of the two scrap yards around the corner from The Motorist. 

Westminster Auto Spares specializing in Bentley and Rolls Royce.

I am sure you can't just rock up and have a mooch about, it's a order online job but still interesting.

Pics from my last nose around, bear in mind It was shut and I have a big camera lens.

Some more info here https://www.autoweek.com/car-life/a60501173/biggest-rolls-royce-and-bentley-junkyard-in-england

The other Scrap yard next door is Sherburn Motor Spares specializing in Alfas and Fiats.

I think they are both shut on weekends.

Anyway have a look on google maps.
