Do you have a special handshake that you use to recognise one another?

No just look out for a large number of skodas in the car park and a group of people.

I'm sure somebody will have a skoda fleece or something on.

I'm still not sure if i will make this, it's all down to how busy my day is.

Re: Newbury Meet - Friday 18th May

There's a good chance that I'll pop along tonight also, it depends on how I'm feeling, as I have a bit of a cold. I should be there by 6:30pm if I do decide to come.

Re: Newbury Meet - Friday 18th May

I'm sure I'll find you all.

I have to get a new tyre this afternoon to replace the puncture I had last week. I'll be interested to hear which tyres you guys have on your cars as I'll shortly need three new tyres and was thinking of changing from Sport Contact 2 to Toyo Proxies TR-1. Apparently they don't last very long but it would be good to hear your views.

Oh and you're welcome to see my newly fit single DIN car stereo and resprayed fascia if that sort of thing interests you.

Re: Newbury Meet - Friday 18th May

PLEASE NOTE

The pub is heaving, little parking & short of food so people are moving on to the Star at Kingsclere RG20 4SY. From the original pub go back to the roundabout, then take the road to Basingstoke, Ive been told its about 5 miles along that road

Re: Newbury Meet - Friday 18th May

Well after a bit of a problematic start finding a different venue it all turned just fine . Great to see some new faces and the pub was a real find, one that we will definately be going back to in the future.

Hopefuly we did'nt lose anyone because of the last minute changes but we did try and contact everyone we could think of and left a big note on a car that was left there.
