Yes, but... I got the urge for a longish drive again..... And can't wait for PoL. The RCOC Christmas Meet's as good an excuse as any....

If you're new to the Club, please do take the opportunity to come along to the Christmas Meet and introduce yourself and your Tommy. I/We'd really love to see you and your Tommy on the day even if you haven't previously said that you're coming. You'll be made very, very welcome, as I found out when I joined a few years ago, no matter which model you own. Us Tommy owners are very, very few and very far between, and we need to share the joy of ownership and stick together IMHO..... ..

P. S. Kevin and the Committee haven't put me up to posting this.

Regards the first part off this event

The Meeting at the Cafe at 10am and drive to the Green man at 11am will no longer happen due to a lack of committed intrest (only two poeple confirmed excluding the organisation team)

If poeple still wish to meet up thier and plan thier own drive to the green man they can but this is now not part of the club event

Meeting up at the green man from 12.00 noon to eat around 1pm is definatly going head and looks like it should be a really good turn out and the should even be a few coupe in the car park looking cleaner than usual.

Sorry for the late notice but as many poeples intention where not clear and spread across several platforms and thread it has taken this long to work mout what is the write desition to make.

10, with an novel split between S1 and S2 cars and between Turbos and the rest. We had:
Series 1
1 x 216 Honda Automatic
5 x 220, and I believe they were all Turbos, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Series 2
1 x 1.6 (with a boot spoiler)
1 x 1.6 SE
1 x 1.6 SE CVT Automatic
1 x 1.8VVC
