since i enjoyed the last meet even though only 2 people showed up (i was one of them!) that i decided to try again, this time with a date well into the future. that gives us time to organise everything and for people to put names down. i can also sort out a band and pub quiz for the evening. location's open for suggestions though i had considered silverstone as it's easy to find from major motorways and we can get discount entry if we book in advance in large numbers. there's plenty of motels and hotels around and there's plenty of fuel and lpg stations. maybe do a convoy run from a start location to silverstone to the afternoon entertainment and a good pub. any suggestions and confirmed names would be good.

The way fuel prices are rising you got a better chance of organiseing a Convoy Walk to Silverstone and telling people to bring a photo of there Volvo :)

that is true. my local station is usually very cheap compared to others and its still at 108.9 ... DIEsel at my local tesco is 123p a litre ... even i feel sorry for diesel drivers now despite them getting more miles.

I am up for it if weather/funds/cars/employment allows :)

i'm gas converting mine as i'm sick of the stupid prices. if someone organised a protest drive to london i'd be right in there with my old land rover. got a dixie horn so loud it can be heard from a mile away in town. that aught to wake the government up!

I remember when diesel used to be at least half the price of petrol until people started using it in cars...... It will be the same with gas when enough people use it.

I am just waiting for them to slap a tax/licence on home computers and broadband when they know people would struggle without one.

don't give them any ideas! it's bad enough they want to tax every version of fun anyone thinks of. there'll be a fornication taxation soon. actually there won't be as they have been sc*#&ing us all for years!! bad enough we can't go anywhere to visit the country as it cost too much in tax and fuel and time. ridiculous. who's up for a protest? stand up and be ignored.

If you really want to see what governments are like and you have an hour ish to spare to watch a video or Two ...............
