If they say "classic cars only" tell them we`ll bring some old rusty cars with us aswell.
I never mentioned any names now did I.
I`m not starting the classic/newage war again now am I ?
Now where`d I leave that wooden spoon.

Can't remember ever having been to Whipsnade, see the signs for it as we head 'up North', so i'm sure we will all come along. (Would also happily spend a day watching the Humboldts at Colchester)

Is there a proposed date yet?

This is the same lady who watched Dr Who and noticed the number plate on the bus at the beginning of the show was different to the one used at the end.

Not so special you maybe thinking until I noticed that on closer inspection you couldnt see the plate at the beginning but a Copper in the show called out the plate details in the script. Now that makes for a cool observation

I was impressed with the above, but the fact Madoli watches Doctor Who ruined it.

And I might be wrong but has someone recently had a police escort?

Just spoke to Whipsnade, they are going to send some details to me.

But....

If we want to do the "Car club visit" it is pay up-front group booking only. This would save about £3 per head and £15 per car entry to the park. Well worth doing and I am prepared to organise if you will all get the money to me in plenty of time.

To give as much time to collect money as possible (and I dont think they do this in July or August) How about Sunday 6th September?

This will, probably, have to be restricted to Subarus only, as far as the car entry is concerned But I'm sure the group discount will still apply for general admission.

Date looks good

Is that £15 for the car + an entrance fee or £15 a car load?

Surely the odd non scoob would be OK?

£15 extra to drive into the park away from the door dingers.

The odd non scoob might be okay as long as it's not really odd, like a Focus.
