SOUTHERN AREA - Hen & Chicken, Alton. 2nd Wednesday of Month

[texas2201]

Martin, you could have told me the A34 was shut at Burghclere

I didnt know until I came off at Tothill! myself - it wasn't when I passed Earlier

Good to meet you again Geoff and for the heater valve part

Good to also meet - Adam, Nige, Muley, Chris & Dirdre, Tony, Rob, Dave B and the guy sitting next to Rob(sorry didnt get your name.

Good banter - cars, golf, track days, upgrades, group buys, passed members

[DaveB]

Agreed...

It was a good night out despite the weather and It really cheered me up after a sh*t day at work.

Sorry I had to leave first, but managed to get to Epsom in time despite taking a wrong turn... twice...

And congatulations to my wife who managed to get packed by the time I got back.

[muley]

Considering the weather we had a very impressive turnout.

I came in the snotter after my scare in the large puddle last time !! At least I can see where I'm going in the snotter (lousy headlamps on the Elan)

Apologies to those whose name I have recorded incorrectly

As Martin said, some good chat was had by all

Chris is fiddling the kitty this month!

Take care

Kitty stands at £10.45 btw

Good meet with some new faces which we hope to see again. I have arranged the Xmas lunch for the 13th December at the H&C - I will set up a new thread for it and link from here.

hats off to you guys who made it in your Elans - I wonder who got the wettest

[Nige]

Great turn out, particularly given the weather . Really good to meet some new people and to see some not so new ones again. I was remarkably and suprisingly dry once I got home, car is steaming nicely in the sunshine as it drys out now.

[chris.t]

Here you go Xmas lunch details.

Nice to meet you all & put faces to the names... now I know it's a fairly quick run from my house down to the H&C I'm sure I'll be back soon. Maybe next time I'll get the gf to drive and I can have a pint! and she can have the wet leg...

It was an interesting drive as far as working out where the leaks are - first half of the trip it dripped on my right knee, but then it suddenly changed to start dripping on my right shoulder/neck instead. Wonder what shifted....

Adam

[Nige]

The drip on the knee will be from the top corner of the A post seal, the water then works its way along the portion of the header rail seal on top of the door glass until it reaches the join with the intermediate seal which positions the drip above your shoulder

[chris.t]

anyone going this month?

[muley]

I'm planning to go - although I'm off work today - sick - hope it's not hosing down with rain (again!)

[Nige]

Maybe, I'll decide tomorrow depending what time I finish work. Not forgotten I owe you a reply re the Christmas do Chris, just doing the domestic negotiations .

[Nickydee]

Not sure Hannah has a fireworks display at her school but will try get along later. Echo Niges comments re Christmas do - more Détente than negotiations in my case!

Sorry to hear that Steve - saw the announcement yesterday and hoped it wasn't in your area. Fingers crossed for you both.

[markv]

Hoping to get along, but may be a bit later (!) than usual

[tonny006]

Hope you had a great meeting.
Sorry i couldn't make it,still catching up from being on holiday.
Hope to make it next month.
Chris,sorry but i can't get out of my commitment on the 13th December so i can't make the Christmas do.
I now have my suspension and brakes sorted, and we are thinking of booking Mallory Park on Sunday 6th December @ £75 if you are interested.
Cheers
Tony

[chris.t]

That's a really good deal and I'm sorely tempted. The only thing is I'm running out of insurance miles on both cars. If it was goodwood i'd be up for it but the trek to Leicestershire would make it a nonsense. Anyway you enjoy yourself and I want a full report on the handling when you get back
