Sounds good to me.
Any ideas for some events this year? A good day trip or perhaps even an overnight? Where's the best driving road in the UK?

work (and weather) dependant, I will try and pop over 
We gain knowledge faster than we do wisdom!
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, thoroughly used, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming... "f*ck, what a trip!"

Not in Warwickshire ...
I came back today from a week away to find the best driving country road between home and work has had its speed limit changed from 60 to 40 mph.
I've seen a whole load of country roads around S Warwickshire getting lower speed limits in the last few weeks.
What's going on?! Was it announced?
Have I missed some news?

Mads,
See you in the bar at around 7:30 then.
I don't expect we'll see many interesting cars at this time of year - we're all too soft.
(Except Colin, who is hard.)

Cheers Dave. If the weather is alright, I will be coming over on the bike so look for the guy in biker gear (plus biker chick too)

T,
It will be good to see you. Looks like you might even have a choice of exhaust sniffers if you still need one..

You missed a nice evening, mads.
It was a good night out, great to see everyone. 8 of us there. Excellent company.
Clocks go forward at the end of March and the nights get lighter, so you should see some cars at our next meeting....

Should we go back to our drive - pub - drive summer format from next month (non-alco for drivers, of course) or is that a bit brave, it being the
start of April and all?

mads,
We meet every 1st Monday in the month.
Next = 6th April. hope to see you then.
Colin,
A road trip would be good. dunno about the weather though.
http://uk.weather.com/weather/10day-Birmingham-B48
sunset will be at 7:46 on 6 April apparently, so bear in mind it will be dark by 8:30.
sunrise/sunset
times
Also don't forget our hillclimb driving school is booked on 2 April. We might not have our cars repaired by the 6th, ha ha 
Edit: A road trip would be good.
