The C&M info is as I posted earlier.
There’s no rule about groups of any number of cars driving around - however being pragmatic as deano notes we limit to groups of six.
How many of us are there?
We meet at BD as planned - we can flash headlights- it’s in the middle of nowhere - who will notice?
Groups depart at 30 min intervals for destination either Cotswold Distiillery or Caffeine and Machine for lunch.
I don’t know roads but think that can be sorted to be a fun drive( I did a Hero event in the area last year so we could use some of that if necessary)
We book tables of 6 for each group ( £10 per car at C&M) - I can organise that if necessary- I am not concerned about possible personal repercussions- I’m (sort of) Irish.
Frankly if Flat 4 doesn’t happen I have already booked ferry/accommodation etc to check out my new 914 in conjunction with the drive so will likely do this anyway!

Just a small clarification - I was only suggesting splitting into groups while parked. As you say, these rules dont apply to people driving their cars, or even sitting in them - the govt would have to close the roads if that were the case :lol:

I've spoken to Danny and we aren't going to organise a formal drive this year. However, feel free to meet up and drive.

Hope so. Let's see what happens to restrictions. Lots of 3rd waves arriving in European countries. Might be able to get it in before the autumn
