Cotswold Airfield/AV8 (Glos/Wilts) Sun 14 Oct ?

[stevespg]

seems like a fine reason to get up early on a saturday morning....as long as I can see through the fog, unlike this morning!

A very good reason indeed and a chance to meet a few forum members. Because it's such an early (in the year) meeting, it's not the law to bring the Z

I'll be in the z..... As long as the weather isn't too rubbish

[zedwheels]

Hope you all have a very enjoyable natter over your breakfast in the morning. And Merry Xmas and Happy new year to you all.
Checked out the distance and its a 2 hour drive for me so bit too far for a bacon butty!

Well the weather was a bit rubbish, but took the z anyway, and had a great breakfast in a really nice cafe...

Thanks for the warm welcome ....hopefully next time weather will be good enough to go topless!

Although the weather wasn't the best, the company more than made up for it, great venue and the food was very good too. Really nice to meet more forum members and see a few old faces again. Good turn out of cars too, a brace of Alpina's turned up, Big red cats (Fran) car is a stunning, mind they all looked good
Must do this again and hopefully there will be a few more turn up.
A few photos
3 stunners

And another 3

The interloper

[Number5]

Yes, great turn out so thanks to all who turned up, ....including the couple in the Japanese thing

Nice breakfast and good company. Spikey usually sorts the weather, so lets blame him !

But when I told you it never used a drop of oil Alan, you just couldn't comprehend that fact

[Big Red Cat]

Shame it wasn't a top down day (perhaps it was sunny in Scotland where Spikey was)
Lovely to meet up with new & old faces & see another Alpina
Thanks for the photos Firebobby - you could have photoshopped out the red interloper though
Well done to Alan for being dad again & organizing us.
We also had the inaugural meeting of the "Whippy Owners Club" - all new members welcome

And there's me thinking how nice you were, then you attack my little red beauty
Why do you carry so many oil containers in your boot Fran

So we need to have a mass whippy meeting then, maybe at zedfest

Great to see a great turnout for this meet AV8 is a perfect venue for this number

Firebobby - I would have been your wingman if I had been able to attend - if I had a double garage I would still have my Anniversary MR2 in it - the MK2 is definately a future classic ( if you can keep the tin worm away from the sills)

I was careering down the M6 in the F10 when you guys were enjoying breakfast - my weather was good but would much rather have been out with the Zeds

Next time

I do have a bit at the rear of the sills which I will need to repair, they do make repair sections for these now

This is fairly local for me but I couldn't make it today due to family duties. I'm here regularly in my Zed and on my bike, absolutely great in the spring and summer, I look forward to another meet there.

That's good - but from memory it's not the outer sills that are the issue - it's the mess you find in the inner section where the seatbelt anchor points are - anyhow still worth fixing for a great car

See now you have made me start looking at MR2 prices....,.

lol mellowing down in my old age Terry - increase the years in the barrel reduce the volume consumed

Thought I'd resurrect this AV8 thread! Now the days are getting longer perhaps we can have another meet at the AV8 café sometime soon?
