Drive it Day 26th April

Post by Squiggle »

Does anyone fancy a convoy and lunch at a country pub?

Well we are having a drive out to the Bridgewater Monument at Ashridge arriving at 12 ish and the Morris register will also be there, I think Dale must have forgotten, you are more than welcome to join us.

Would love to but was hoping for something a little nearer.

Thanks for the invite. Maybe join in later Dale?

Yes please.

Anyone else from this neck of the woods wishing to convoy there?

Hi,

Thanks for that - I picked up Snowdrop on Friday, complete with recon engine :D and big bill :cry: . Plan is to make it on Sunday, weather permitting (still a fairweather novice I'm afraid). As I'm limiting her to 45-50 its probably best for me to avoid any convoys (other than the ones which I'll create behind me :o )

On a happier note costwise, I thought I'd be having to replace all of her seat covers, but eleven quids worth of Autoglym interior shampoo and the cleaning pad that goes with it have worked wonders :D

Cheers,

Paul.

Well as we will not be travelling in convoy noon ish is probably more accurate and with the Morris Register putting in an appearance your car will seem quite a youngster :D
