October Mini Meet

Re: October Mini Meet
Has this been announced on the FB page?? If not can I? Last time there where people who don't come on here who would have come if they'd known about it. Short notice though now I know. Worth a go though.

Re: October Mini Meet
I am not the one doing the name tags
Talking about name tags, I may coax Oliver -my 14 year old son- to join me for the meet. If he does, feel free to wind him up about that "Swedish?"youtube video where the guy compares the shape of the 480 to the Ferrari FF. He still has not recovered and most likely never will
I call it the Volvarri and he hates it.

Yes, please do post on FB, I don't use it. Perhaps we can persuade them to join the club if they come on the meet.

Re: October Mini Meet
If anyone else is planning to stay overnight Friday 6th in Northampton, we will be in the Toby bar with frenchfries around 9 - 10pm, so do come and say hello.

Re: October Mini Meet
Looks like a cracking run; Many happy memories of Cadwell park (used to be my track day venue of choice in the late 90’s!)
Hopefully I’ll get some time this week to give the car a once over before Saturday!

Re: October Mini Meet
Shame I can’t join you in a 480 again, little way off completion yet, but looking forward to meeting everyone and discussing all things 480 and a few other things I’m sure.
Plan is to join everyone at Rutland Water and have booked a room at the Royal Oak.

Re: October Mini Meet
Royal Oak must be wondering what's going on - I booked a room there earlier today as well. We found the last Mini Meet quite tiring so decided we wouldn't want to go further than upstairs after a good meal and lots of interesting chat.

I won't be staying for the evening meal, will leave to get home either after the castle or Cadwell park. It will be a long drive home.
