NickM has suggested a meet-up at the Ace Cafe in West London sometime, if there is enough interest in this I have been offered a guided tour of Charles Hurst's facilities just down the road to help extend the day and add some further interest. At the moment this is very much putting out feelers and it would have to be on a Saturday as CH is closed on a Sunday. This is likely to happen later in the year rather than sooner, but if you would be interested an idea of numbers would be welcome if you could indicate on the sign up. Nothing is confirmed or even arranged yet, it's purely an expression of interest. Once I get an idea I will send out further details by PM to all interested members when arrangements have been made. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

You know I might be interested in that, I wouldn't mind a spin over to London

So for now I'll register my interest & see how the plans progress.

Ace Cafe London details are here http://www.ace-cafe-london.com/ It would appear that there isn't a day goes by without some owners group or other meeting there so we may have to organise this a long way in advance so that we have space to park up!

It really is "just round the corner" from Charles Hurst's

September sounds good

I’ve already been on Google Maps having a look at the Ace Cafe & plotting my route in off the M4.

But looking at the satellite pic, I’d say we’ll have to reserve the car park for the day.

Wouldn’t be long filling up with LR’s
