I'm not going to make Brooklands today but will keep an eye out for a sunny weekend in the near future

What a great bunch of Lancia People :-)

Apologies, I am still not proper roadworthy.

Rear suspension apart again (this will be the third time), to try and sort out the rear shocks, this week.  New tyres also going on Friday.  I am thinking I can drive it until the salt comes so maybe later this month for a coffee and cake somewhere.

Now the weather is improving, would anyone be up for a bacon roll or mug'o'tea at the end of June? Thinking 27th or 28th.

Between us John is Windsor, but happy to go anywhere ish

One location I can find would be: Runnymede Cafe, Pleasure Grounds, Windsor Rd, Egham TW20 0AE

Anyone else game and can suggest a better location?

Re: Windsor Farm Cafe works for me, as does the place in Henley as would nearer Tony.  I really dont mind up to a couple hours drive.  I posted on the Henley Classics FB page to see when their next meet is, its normally last Sunday of the month so 29th might be a go'er

I'm up for a meet in the area mentioned, and 27 June is good for me.
Need to do some miles before the AGM weekend!

I'm very close to Henley, but having to put two front shock absorbers on my Beta ahead of the National Rally and AGM after a very bouncy ride to the petrol station!  :'( They haven't arrived yet, but its going to be a marathon of a job to get it all done in time.
