I should be there if it's not raining but the weather doesn't look too good at the moment.

Us north of the river folk could meet at South Mimms services (about 8:00am?) and go together in convoy.

The weather forecast changes on a daily basis Theo, so I would only look at Sunday's weather when you get up and look out of the window on Sunday morning! ;D

I agree with you Simon and that why I said "at the moment"  ;D I think final decisions will be made on Sunday morning  ;D ;D

No I didn't mean Thurrock but it's a good point!  :-\  For me it's definitely best to go anti-clockwise round the M25 but for you (if you were joining us) and Phil it may be better to go the other way round. Mind you, it's now ?2 each way for the Darford crossing so going 'my way' will save ?4  ;D

  Its as long as it is short ,as ma would say or only about 7 miles differance   from A12 juction  8)

Post by: Phil on October 12, 2012, 10:02:38 PM
The mileage going South or North is nearly the same, usually I make the decision on the day which is driven by the M25 traffic reports.

Rob why don't you revise for exams on Saturday, come out on Sunday and Scarify the lawn another weekend ???

Luckily I don't need to use the M25 to get to Brooklands. Cross country to A3 then straight over the M25 north to a great day out!  ;D

Well the weather turned out perfect in the end which made this a good event. Certainly the company was good and it was great to meet up with friends for what's probably the last outdoor classic car event of the year. Some photos below and a slideshow of the rest of my pics can be seen at http://photos.131mirafiori.com/FullScreenSlideShow.aspx?gallery=3171606&mt=Photo

Yes you missed a good day out with friends Jason!  ;D Hope the birthday party went well and both your missus and the mother-in-law recognised your commitment. ;D 8) :D ;)

A big mix of cars, from TVR to Ford, and I'm not really sure that it worked.  :-\ As usual the Brooklands 'organisers' had us driving all over the site to park - before we eventually found our mates and moved our cars to park together - but even then we were over run by Fords, Lotus and VW Beetles ::).

Still, the weather held and it was good to catch up with the 131 crew.  8)
