Santa Pod mini meet

Hey guys, a while ago there was some talk about a few of us V6 and Activa owners meeting up at Santa pod for a few runs, possibly sometime in September, just wondering if that idea is still going on.
I’m still interested and this weekend is looking like a good time for me, anyone still interested in doing this?
All welcome of course.

about 5 miles apart Kevin, bizarrely..

Wrantage near Langport for me, Langport for Jim

are you about ?

Unread post by **CitroJim** » 16 Sep 2009, 16:41

I'll be in Langport Kev, about 10 miles up the road from where you'll be John. In fact I'll be passing by Wrantage on our way in to Taunton when we visit Mum in hospital..

I will have passed by Sparkford on my way down.

Come down a tad earlier John and we'll meet up. Fancy making it a threesome Kev?

Sid, so sorry for so comprehensively hijacking your thread with all this Somerset talk

You two sort out times, dates and meeting places, let me know and I'll turn up

It'll be a good excuse to go out for a run

EDIT: Sorry Sid

Sunday means you could go to the haynes museum? but not sure if Jim is about then, otherwise Sat afternoon sounds best

That place is in my home village! Been a few years now since I've been in but it looks like it's been recently erm, refurbished. Not quite as "rustic" as it was.

Years back, the scrumpy was opaque with bits floating in it. It was reputed to be a killer as well

I guess regulations have caught up with the old traditional scrumpy now. The old stuff would run a car...

No doubt Dave (therave) has tried that, have to ask him

Funny you should say Haynes museum John, I was up there a couple of weeks ago for a rare breeds show and who should I see getting out of a certain S1 Xantia V6

I've no problem with going there again mind if thats what is decided

So John, is the south west your old stomping ground?

I'll send a PM to Toby_HDI, MikeT and admiral51 to see if they're available, think thats all the locals...
