'Caring with Cars' charity run in 2014 at a school which is based in a former country house near Bristol. You had the 3200 in those days. The rendezvous:

I don’t know anyone except Matt and I don’t think he is coming - so be gentle with me guys !

.... And ladies - I think I may be recognisable - the only thorn amongst the roses - or is it the other way round

 

[Ewan]

I should be there around 10, in the green QP IV.
Probably wearing a Maserati cap.

 

[RoaryRati]

Thanks @MarkMas and @Phil H for route tips - I'm braving Stow - Burford- Lechlade - Wantage - and there's enough blue sky to make several sailors trousers C U soon-ish

Historic Warwick Services. So called because the kings of Mercia used stop here when going on their hollibobs to Wessex. I digress.

Anyway, a good place to stop for a tea and a pee. No precipitation on the way down.

Note there is no reserved parking at Podium even for organised meets. First come first served all marques!

 

[MarkMas]

The place is already packed with (badly-parked) cars.

 

[Omar]

Wow it’s busy!
Sat outside! Thankfully not too wet but not dry either!

 

[conaero]

Great to meet a few folk from the past, and to put new names to faces; my apologies to those I missed.

Well done Dem, and thank you for organising

Great to meet some of you today, thanks for making me welcome.

@dem maser thanks for organising the get together and it was good to meet you.
@hashluck nice chatting to you and thanks for the coffee, I owe you one.
@Ewan very nice to meet you.
@midlifecrisis nice to meet you (briefly).
@RoaryRati very nice to chat to you.

I know there were others I spoke to too, nice to meet you all. And if anyone was concerned by the steam coming from my bonnet when I moved the car, I am sure it was just from puddle water as the car was absolutely fine on the 62 mile journey home and no sign of any leaks or steam when I pulled up at home.

 

[Bebs]

Sorry to have missed this. Unfortunately domestic plans took priority on this occasion. Catch you all at the next one. Cheers Dem.

Great morning, interesting venue, fab coffee! Lovely to meet other forum members and chatting, thanks @dem maser for organising.
