Ok, this'll be difficult because Shez won't leave London and GK won't go to London.

Can I lure you all to wonderful Stroud? I can't drink a magnum of Bolli by myself. If I can't get you all though I will drink it with undeserving friends who would just as soon have £4.99 cava.

And since it was a joint effort....

What about 22nd May. My first free Sat? And the last one before 17th July.

How many of you have wives/women that you'd like to bring with? All my spare beds are double

Are any of your kids around 8yo Mel? I might take the little one out on the train for the day.

Is the station far from where you live? Which is the best station to head for?

I know we are off on hols the following weekend, its half-term, will check out the 22nnd.

Youngest kid 14, but not a problem. Train 7 mins walk.

I'm sure you are, but we don't want to sleep with you.

TBF (get me) none of us wants to sleep with the others. I have 4/5 rooms, so we don't need to. And the sofa is 5' 8".

Am going to drink the bolli myself. Not enough take up. Can't drink both bottles with just GK. (Ba, no comment needed) Am having birthday thing on 23rd and a mag of bolli would be a good starter.

It certainly would 8)

21 again Mel? I can't remember my 21st :roll:

Can we not give Shez a last chance to make his way to Stroud ? Since he is credited with a large amount of Bolli labour.

Count me in on this, but, I'd butted-out on helping you consume the mag, because of Shezz's efforts.

How many glasses of Bolli triggers the breathaliser :wink:

Shez.....where are you ?

And Goose. Did we ever find him?

Should we worry?

afternoon all.

As much as I'd love to blow away the cobwebs with a race along the M4 (Google maps says 2h 40 mins - so I reckon 1hr 45 is easily doable :)), I think it's really too tricky for me to find an opportunity to do an all dayer/overnight trip away from the family.

Such a shame, will have to wait with anticipation to see what your tasting notes provide
Maybe send a hipflask of Bolly in a jiffy bag and I'll spend the evening with you guys via webconference :D

Of course, if ever it get the opportunity to head to the west country this year I'll be sure to let you know

Shezz,

We'll need to instruct someone to cut down the cameras with an angle grinder first. The M4 has been wired up for revenue :evil:

Then, I'll keep in ya rear view window matey in the ole coup. The trusty straight six is cheaper for a longer roll, has to be before the sparrows have got out of bed.

Sorry you can't make it.

Did you find any Yerring Station pinot on the '05 ? And if you did - no you didn't just seen your other post - Shelmadine Yarra PN ? Did you pick up 1 or 2

wretched speed cams ! Ruining all our fun :evil:

Straight 6 Coupe.... as well as a gti with blower....
Are you the third Schumacher brother ?? :)

The Shez mobile is more suited to blasting down A & B roads but would still be fun to zoom along the M4 sans cameras


As far as the PN hunt goes, I've not made any further progress... will keep you posted should I make any progress
