I'll probably be hanging 
Could be up for this. It's not too early either, which is a bonus!
Would have to be Panto or Howie though - I've Sorned everything else for the winter (well apart from the Abarth & the red scraggy one which don't count for classic events!).
When are you deciding? If it's chucking it down with rain I'm not interested - if it's chuckng it down with snow it's a definite yes. :slayer:

If it's chucking it down with snow you can pick me up and well have some fun with Howie
We had a run out to the Lakeland Motor museum and found a cousin to park alongside.
Then cruised home in the snow lane of the motorway (winter tyres are fantastic).

Sounds like a plan - there are 2 Panda 4x4's of course, so it would be a shame to have one feel left out!
We're out walking the dogs with friends. Bit of a NY tradition, park up in Princes Risborough, walk the phoenix trail to Thame, meal at the James Figg (cheap & cheerful, dog friendly, nice open fire) then back to Risborough.

Are you planning to "lose" the 1st completely Charlie?!! I've had hangovers in the past, but don't think I ever forgot New Year's Day. The meeting is on the 1st, so doesn't really matter how delicate you are on the 2nd......
Actually scout I'm already delicate, and suffering from something nasty which has gone to my chest - I've a few days to recover, but I may not be up to standing in the cold on NYD.
thought NYD was a non-starter trying to get people to travel,
discounted the 2nd as for some it's a "work-day" so Sat 3rd it is,
you are most welcome to join us,hoping you're better, Essesse pls

I'll be severely hungover with any luck, no chance. Plus Char' hasn't had a proper wash in an embarrassing amount of time (just jet washes at the garage to blast any salt off).

Yep, got the PM and have replied.
May not take the panda, but pop over and get more details for next year.

Yes I went, there were a couple of alfa's, about 5 ferrari's and 4 fiat's. My Panda a 124T saloon, a 124 convertable and an X19. There were also a few very rare Porches, a convertable Mk2 cortina and some Jags I've never seen before including the XJ13. I'll put some pictures up soon.

Surely I wasn't the only one to go to a car show on the first day of the year?
The Panda got a good reception, with lots of people saying "I had one of those as my first car", "my mum had one of those", "we used to hire these on holiday" and "didn't they make a 4X4 one" ( @Palio Howie would have gone down a storm )
