I'm considering it, but have a friends Birthday Bash on Saturday, so It's down to my self control to not get too pissed !!

And Tina is a F1 addict, and as it's the British GP she might want to watch it Live !! .....
There is some interest too on the Avantime owners site, so I would like to be there ......
We'll see, nearer the time !

I should be here on Sunday.
Depending on the weather I'll be in the Clio V6 or the Safrane dt.
Not sure what time as I'll be meeting up with others on-route.

Hi Miles,

One of our members works at Exbury, so I was using his local knowledge to find the most appt. place to meet up. Exbury is more South East of Beaulieu, so just a small diversion for most of us. Which way will you be heading over?
What are you bringing along... Spider :/?.. Le Mans..? Avantime.?? Or a boat may be more suitable if this rain keeps on!

Shaun im staying in a B&B on the edge of Southhampton so just got to pop down the A326.If its dry when i go Spider wet then Le Mans.Do you have a time to meet up?

Looks like Exbury gardens is a meet point from 8:45 ready to go in for 9:30.

Have a great time, and I hope the rain stays away !!!

Journey to and from was 'drizzly+' but very nice day there.
No GTAs, A610s or A310s but a fair few cars made the effort.
3 A110s, plenty of older renaults (4s, 8s, 12s, caravelles, 4CV and even a Celteqatre), A few Clio V6s and newer clios/meganes/twingos. Some Martra Murena/Bagheeras, an Avantime, some small Talbots (samba?), Simcas, Citroens including a few DSs, a fair spread of Pugs and a couple of Facel Vegas.
Everyone was surprised how many attended (a few hundred).
Lots of light flooding in the area and the field was really boggy, so we parked on the main tarmac arena.

Well this was not a bad start for a new event sun,good setting and as Andy said about 200 cars.But Andy may need to go to spec savers as i was there in my Le Mans(GTA).It did seem odd not to have any other GTAs there but we know where some of them were.

Anyway Photos below :wink:
