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! ;)

So who else is braving the cold for this? I've re-taxed the 131 so I'm good to go. Sunday should be dry (but rather chilly!!!!)

Good to see Linda, Theo and Jason today, as well as two 131s added to my Abarth in the English winter sunshine. ;D It was sure cold, but the warmth of the attendees soon sorted that out! ;)

I didn't take any snaps but Theo did, so hopefully he can post some up! :)

Yes and great coffee too  ;) :D
So 5 131ners in 3 131s got together today for a blast round the Hampshire countryside with a lunch stop at The Fox (http://www.thefox.org/) in North Waltham.

The day started at Simon's and Wendy's with Wendy providing breakfast bacon rolls and coffee. 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.

It may have been cold today but it was lovely and sunny all day and in my car at least with the heater working well  :D  it felt like a summer's day  ;D

After an excellent lunch we returned to Simon's and Wendy's via a shorter and faster route for afternoon tea, coffee and cakes.

The weather was good, the food was good, the drive was very good and the company was excellent. Thank you Simon and Wendy  :D

Years ago the garage housed my 520D.

I am clearing it out for hopefully a different type of vehicle.
