For this one drivers only? Family, friends, partners - but only if they're petrolheads and/or love/drive A8's?
We've had everything from bored girlfriends and kids to Ainsreem's dog and BMW owners, no rules, really.

And can't that dog bark, you can hear it through S8 double glazing. Although i was in a tent.

With the young kids and me working away from home i don't think i can do this one chaps, unless is was going to be North Cornwall or something.

Tried to Post this earlier without success. Hope its not duplicated

Hi Guys & Girls,
As a new comer to the forum, with little or no clout.
If the meeting between Xmas & New Year was to be held in Shrewsbury, this would be a 360 mile round trip for me. This would prove too far for me to travel.
If the census is to make it a National Meet, which I support, then Birmingham seems to be somewhat central to most of those that have shown interest in attending.

Just as a suggestion, what about The National Motorcycle Museum at Coventry Road, Bickenhill, Solihull, West Midlands B92 0EJ.
This venue also has a large car park. Would need to check if it will be open though as I believe they have a gated entrance
This is still a 250 mile round trip for me from Guildford, Surrey but I would be prepared to make the journey to meet a lot more like minded S8/A8 drivers from the forum.

Just a proposal

David (barzyA8)

I'm thinking of us meeting up at one of the venues some of us came to at the annual meet as some know where it is and it's central and has parking
Could be the Leopard Inn near Gaydon, or possible the hotel we used at Stoneleigh agricultural show ground (lots of space to park etc) so this should be Warwickshire with easy access off the M40. M1 M5 and M6
Can I please have an indication of who can come on which date on the list below

29th December

30th December

Its a possible on either day at the moment for us Neil, but as its a near 700 mile round trip for us, (take note all you wimps who think around 360 miles is too far) so would probably have to come down day before so would depend on location for us to get a hotel, Stoneleigh dont appear to have any rooms left, but there are some at Travel Lodges, Premier Inns near, but would need to know fairly soon on a date and location before rooms either get booked or go up in price

cheers
