[gadge]

Well looking forward to this! Are we all still meeting up at the heritage centre at 11?

Is the heritage centre at the same postcode

 

[scout]

Its all part of the factory, look out for the purple fiat parked out front

I love the heritage centre! I might well get there early and have a mooch around all the British Leyland goodies!

BL + Goodies = Acceptably good in the 1970's,

but apparently we're in the 21st Century now

Hi folks,

I got a bit confused about the plans - this is not unusual and I seem to be saying this like a catchphrase!!

Are we going for something to eat afterwards, then an optional drive somewhere? I'm just thinking food tbh, which is an important consideration

 

[scout]

I'm going for something to eat after the tour, there's a couple of places very near , and before I go anywhere else.

Hi Everyone,

I've just heard from Stephen (homeward) that he's sadly unable to make it tomorrow & sends massive apologies. He had a severe asthma attack after cleaning the Panda & ended up going to hospital via ambulance. He's fine but told to rest for a couple of days. Get well soon homeward
scout500 and Most Easterly Pandas Stephen asked me to pass on apologies particularly to you - it's not going to be a Panda fest Jon so not sure if that changes your ride?
varesecrazy sorry he couldn't give you exact directions. Can't help with that as I haven't even looked yet, sorry!

Hope to see you all tomorrow

 

[scout]

Gutted for you Steve, I know you were looking forward to this. I'll have a look and see if I can get a Google maps picture up of the meeting point. Its very near the M40 jct.

 

[varesecrazy]

thanks @ palio !,
I've looked here ; http://www.prodrive.com/level3.html?id=811

so I know it exists..,

I'm used to seeing the white"PRODRIVE" buildings form the M40,
but the "green arrow" on the map is elsewhere,

Hopefully I won't be 1st there so can look out for a group of FIATS..!!,

Sorry to hear about homeward - I've sent him a "get-well-soon",
Charlie

 

[homeward]

Thanks, guys. Currently sound like Darth Vader, but otherwise just knackered! Have a good time...!

Get well soon Stephen! (@homeward)

Hope you all have a good day tomorrow

[Most Easterly Pandas]

Get well soon!

Ah it looks like most will be in modern cars then so think I'll bring the Bravo.

 

[gadge]

[scout]

Outside in the car park
