I may bring up the rear in the Xantia at some point along the way (it's still a wedge of sorts!) Fox will only go if Jeff goes.....as per.

Re: May Mini Meet ?
Is anyone else interested ? - this is looking like a small turnout. Would it help if I moved the date to the 28th ? I usually try to avoid bank holiday weekends with the thought that family committments would likely keep some people away. If you'd like to come but can't do the 7th, please pm me with availability.

Re: May Mini Meet ?
The 28th would be better for me. It gives me more time to sort R3s issues so I can attend in it.

Re: May Mini Meet ?
I can do the 7th but probably not the 28th unless I can swap shifts around at work. I would either travel up that way Friday evening and stay with my parents in Leicestershire, or find a camp site nearby.

Re: 7th May Northants - Derbyshire Mini Meet
We shall see, will be a bit of a minor shock to go from the arguably 1970s Audi to an advanced 1980s Volvo!

Re: 7th May Northants - Derbyshire Mini Meet
We'll meet you at Tissington Hall to Derwent Dam for the afternoon. Don't wanna cramp your style for too long.
I'm missing a bit of trim on my rear bumper and it ruins me 'look'.

Re: 7th May Northants - Derbyshire Mini Meet
Look forward to seeing you and Pud again Richard - welcome to your first mini-meet, which I am sure you will enjoy!
Evie, it'll be good to see you and Fox again as always; I'm sure we will all forgive you whatever you're driving on the day. Just keep well to the back of the convoy, won't you...
