Most of London in August is touristed out so get on a tourist bus for a day, see all the things you have heard of then get out of the city. Most people who leave the UK miss (after decent tea of course) the 'countryside'. It is unlike any other country I've ever been to for peace, sounds and sheer verdance. You also have a fighting chance of seeing a scooby out there as they are few and far between in London.

A couple of years ago there was a guy over from the US and we organised to collect him and took him to a large Scooby meet in Essex (50+ scoobs).

Then all convoyed back to his hotel in Central London to drop him off!

He loved it....not so sure his Mrs was too impressed though!

true, see the sights, then get out of london to see the better sights, including scoobs.There are usually some form of meets going on all around the home counties (that is the bits outside london )

like the idea of escorting the guy back to his hotel..imagine a convoy of scoobs turning up to a swanky london hotle and asking for valet parking

The Mrs. was fine. Well, the ride to 130 mph in Rob's car did worry her a bit. I guess she didn't have the harness

Indeedy Frayz would be most definitly proud of that. I too have a Black STI, yours looks realy nice and shiny.. just how they should be.

Would be great for you to come over and for the Essex crew to take you out to some of our meets.

Hope to meet you soon,

Frayz.
