Title: Winter Run - Hampshire, UK - 02 Dec '12 Post by: simon131 on November 24, 2012, 10:48:48 AM Theo and I have decided to have a last minute, pre-Christmas get together and wondered whether anyone else would like to join us. ;D We'll be going regardless of the weather - unless of course the roads are impassable - so please join us in whatever car you have on the road, although of course we'd prefer to see you in your 131 ;D
We are initially meeting at my house and will then have a run through the Hampshire Countryside to finish at lunchtime at a nice little hostelry just south of Basingstoke, in a village called North Waltham. (Very close to the M3 junction 7). Check it out on www.thefox.org/ Let us know if you can join us - it will be good to see you! ;) Title: Re: Winter Run - Hampshire, UK - 02 Dec '12 Post by: jasonh131 on November 24, 2012, 08:02:28 PM 10 day weather says its bright n chilly ; )

Then the 3 131s, representing Series 1, Series 2 and Series 3 ;D took the scenic route through the picturesque Hampshire countryside to our lunch destination.
