April or May sounds good
Thete is a chance the weather will be ok
The roadster should be finished and have had its shakedown by then.

See you all there

Thanks Gary!! Just bought a set of plans for a teardrop trailer and am looking at fitting a removable tow bar....lots of cheap trailer bases and caravan chassis on ebay.
Think i had better finish one project first tho!

Yep, I've got tear drop plans also and the towbar idea also crossed my mind there again I could just throw the tent in Skippy and spend time driving about in her PAT

We have an excellent Camp site about half a mile from my shop , with lots of stuff for everyone , bars , pools , restaurants , play areas etc...

I have camped there before with a Hot Rod group and its pretty laid back... I can probably get a group rate for camping , if enough interest...

Just thinking , maybe organise a couple of days , one night ..ie. Saturday and Sunday sometime Spring onwards , people could camp over or stay locally or just visit on one of the days ....no showing , no trophies , no rules , no pressure...

If anyones up for it ...I can organise a free breakfast on the Saturday morning .....anyone who's been here will know my local Cafe ...Workshop can be opened for an hour or two for the inquisitive ....

Could be a great way to meet each other , compare notes , gang up on me etc...!!

Just let me know your thoughts ?

Right , Xmas has gone , evenings are getting lighter etc and I need to start thinking about the Gathering ( give me something to do !! )

I cannot get any info from the Campsite yet until they open again in a few weeks but a good idea of numbers would help please .....also if anyone can give me reasons for not choosing a particular weekend , please do....

I'm thinking post Stoneleigh ( 6/7TH MAY ) This gives a few of us a chance to concentrate on making it to that show and hopefully puts a few cars on the road...better weather is pushing me towards June at present ...pre-school holidays is important as well....

I cannot stress enough that this is very informal ...I don't do clubs , car club politics always ruin things , so not a club meet , just an oppurtunity to catch up ....attend , don't attend , go home when you've had enough , stay an extra night --whatever !!

Non ownership of a Sammio doesn't exclude anyone either ...if you like the cars , we'd like to see you !!

If no one turns up , I'll just enjoy a nights camping with Sam ! not a problem !!

All thoughts are welcome....

Just name the day and I'll wangel the time, Pat

Roybo · #26 15th January 2012, 15:34

i'd be interested in coming ,although i haven't got a sammio,I am interested
and as Gary said seeing them may just give me the push i need,and a trip to Dorset may be nice if the weathers ok

Roadster · #27 15th January 2012, 15:35

me too - hopefully the car will be with me

davecymru · #28 15th January 2012, 15:57

We bought a family tent last year but never ended up using it, so i'd be up for this and i may even get SWMBO to also come in the sensible family car with the tent and the sprogs

Have to check with the other half, who's away for a few weeks, but I see no particular reason not to head over to Devon to have a look at some more Spyders, G-46's and maybe a Cordite? :-)

tlrtone · #30 15th January 2012, 16:30

well I'm local so it would be rude not to! If the weather is completely rubbish, I have a coupe of spare rooms if anyone wants to crash!

Started stripping the vitesse down today, so mine should be on the road by May!

Mister Towed · #32 15th January 2012, 17:34

so what's a couple of miles between friends eh?

edit: whoa, was thinking of Exeter, not where you guys are actually based ! Hey, that's even less of a drive ! ;-)

Paulm321 · #34 15th January 2012, 20:10

We'll be up for it too! Will probably bring some others with us.

froggyman · #35 15th January 2012, 20:20

Hi, sounds like a great idea especially as it is open to 'lurkers'. I am sure I am not the only one who would love to start building such a beautiful looking car now, however for one or more reasons can't start yet. At the moment this forum is helping keep me sane!!! Keep up the good work guys.

Psycho pops · #36 15th January 2012, 20:38

Can't commit yet, but if available will be there...
