Hopcroft Holt service station/ Hightone restorations at OX25 5QQ on the A4260 between Banbury and Kidlington.

About 5 miles from J10 or J11 on the M40 (between the two)

Start at 12.00

Curry and a fire with bits of meat on it, though most opted for the curry.

South African Pap n' Sous, Boerewors.

South African (durban) Chicken curry.

'Billabong Odyssey' big wave surf movie on the box.

And a small raffle for some BMW Sauber F1 bits (which might become collectors items at the rate Ecclestone is trying to destroy the sport :roll: ).

If I am able to make it, can I arrange to meet the gang going from Rownhams either somewhere along the M3 or at the Winnall Jct for the A34? I'm at Otterbourne - between Jct 11 & 12 on the M3.

Maybe someone going from Rownhams could send me their number and get in touch to let me know so I can link up with you all somewhere along the way??? :D

Guys, can we not stick a last minute ad in the main body of the forum, as there are some who don't really visit the events section and would only see this by accident. I'm sure there's enough food to go around for a few more people. :(

Right then.......

I trust you all know where to go....I will mark out the spot on the roadside with a big red E28 M535i. So if you see that you know you are in the right place.

Curry's cooking right now, the BBQ will go up in the morning as well as a TV and DVD player with some movies for the kidz in case they get bored.

I hope everyone makes it! :D

See you there.

In case anyone needs it as I wont be on the net.

1x rocker cover M20
2x timing cover m20
2x dizzy caps m20
4x Motorsport reps 17" with tyres
