Amazed by the response to this! I was sure it would be three of us having a beer and discussing oil consumption laugh

I vote we let this thread run until end of the month and then pick a location?
Now up to 30

What's this about beer. I dont wanna be all high and mighty but surely a car meet should involve no boozing.

Well I was expecting it to be three of us in a conveniently middle distance pub car park hence consider it a turn of phrase...... it seems I better work out a good location for this, with a burger van at the bare minimum laugh

Firstly, Wow! I was not expecting this level of response to something which started with a single comment on a thread about a particularly knackered old Porsche laugh

By my totting up I make it four from London, 12 from the Midlands, 3 from the North West, 10 from the South East and 2 from the South West and one unknown. Which brings us on to where to actually hold this?

An obvious one is somewhere around the Northampton area making it equidistant for the majority but that rather leaves those heading down from the North with a bit of a journey to do. Alternatively we could go more Central/East midlands to knock 45 mins to an hour off the journey for those coming down from the North.

Some obvious choices for Northants/Mids are:

- The Super Sausage Cafe - an old PH meet haunt from days gone by. www.http://supersausagecafe.co.uk/
- British Motor Museum - just used for PH Sunday Service. https://www.britishmotormuseum.co.uk/
- Caffeine&Machine - Never a bad option. https://caffeineandmachine.com

More options welcome! With 30+ of us that's enough bacon rolls sold for most places to put up with us laugh

Finally the date, how's the last weekend in June 24th/25th for everyone?

Well done for organising, as you say an unexpected amount of interest.

That weekend doesn’t work for me, I’m cycling in France the weekend before and at Le Mans Classic the weekend after so need to spend some time with the family. I’ll keep an eye out for the next one.

Incredible level of interest, but I suppose there are a few of us on here now with 9x6 and 9x7 platforms. Call it group therapy.

Date works for me. Locations look good.

One additional suggestion to add to the venue list is perhaps the Wriggly Monkey Brewery on the Bicester Heritage site. They do a weekend “tap room” but unsure, at this stage, whether food & drink options are as varied as your suggested venues PPBB.
