following if thats OK? Will have a pillion so wouldnt be booting it.

Mads I try to get there about 7:30, dave will be there eating his tea just before then!
Basically I pass through astonfields, tunn left under the bypass and through tutnall. Then straight over the crossing and follow the road all the way
into alvechurch.
Go straight though the middle of the "square" in alvechurch and follow the radford road, passing under the M42, untill you get into
Weatheroak Hill - the pub is on the left.
If you want to meet up somewhere thats not a prob - I will be in my locost or if it rains my fiesta.
Thanks
Shaun

I don't think it will, as the forecast this morning was rain tonight and heavy rain for the next 3 days.
Having looked at it now and the first bit of rain is Wednesday morning and another bit of Thursday.

was good meeting you all and finally putting some faces to names. apologies to those who I didnt introduce myself to, it was a bit daunting to start
talking to people who all knew each other. hopefully next time i will get to know you all a bit more.
looking forward to the next meet up!

It was only a flying visit but it was great to meet everyone.
So many people and so little time

Great to see everyone, excellent company!
S Brum next regular meeting will be on the evening of Mayday bank holiday Monday, the last day of the Stoneleigh show.
That's usually a popular one - so put it in your diaries. 
Hopefully the weather will be good (it usually is) and we can spill out into the garden.
Remember to contact Colin and Shaun offline if you expressed interest in the trips they are planning on 25 Apr and Mayday respectively. I guess Colin
and Shaun will contact you anyway.
If in doubt contact me.
best
Dave

It was nice to put faces to names - a good night out (till it rained , and my wipers gave up about a mile down the road  )
A quick fiddle with the fuse's sorted it - then on the M42 , about 5 miles of the overhead signs claiming 2 lanes closed with nothing on the
road  and 40 mph limit ? ?
Its cuz I is blond , innit

Will weld for food......

I had a great night ...... nice to see only one BEC'er sorry about the mickey taking, at least your misses knows she's be pushing now
(glad to see you took it in good spirits and got your own back with the hydrogen fuel cell jibe for my slowcost)
At least this time on the M42 I didn't have a lorry ignore the 20mph sign and almost smash me up the rear. I think a combination of my quick
hazzard lights and him swerving into the right (fast) lane averted a hospital dash. I did have to put up with parking on the M6 as they put it down to
one lane

you wont be mickey taking when I'm pulling donuts outside your garage and hitting revs of 9000rpm!! =op (and you're still in your garage
building your solar-powered kitcar!)
As for the missus pushing the car... after hearing about Vindicator's missus driving his kitcar, I think she has other ideas and will be wanting
to be the main driver!!

My mrs won't even touch my car! I think the mistake was her seeing the bare chassis without anything attached to it!
