Stoke or Warwick work for me. And date wise the 28th is currently free and the 29th is free'ish (a quick visit to work early that morning). As Christmas draws near doubtless the calendar will start filling up with stuff over which I have not a lot of say

https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/findus/l...ice/birmingham I bet they'd welcome the opportunity to get you in the driving seat for a test drive too

Hi Neil, count us in please, 2 adults for lunch.
May have some family staying with us, but they probably can't be persuaded to come along too, even though they have an S4...... And we're out very late the previous night so may not be in "top form".

I'm a probable, and if so probably in the Tesla, as it'll be on the way back from visiting family and friends in the South.

I'm not going to be able to make this one unfortunately. The last couple of times it luckily coincided with our return trip from visiting relatives in Southampton but this year we're not heading down there until early January and I'm too bogged-down with work presently to make a special trip.
Hope y'all have fun. I'll leave you with one of Neil's photos of my car at The Leopard in 2014 (which was my very first meet) so you can remember this and imagine it's there 10891785_844195435625972_7377045850106621018_n.jpg
