Hello everyone
Having owned my QP for a couple of months now I am keen to meet up with other owners/enthusiasts.

Unfortunately most of the events are more southerly based or focused.....which is tough on us poor Northerners!

To that end I have spoken to a local restaurant & (very provisionally) booked a table in what could be the centre of England, give or take a few hundred miles!

Pesto Restaurant
Hinckley LE10 3HG
16:00
Saturday 13th August

My thoughts are a small get together, have some food & perhaps, if willing, a short drive through the country side at speeds that are comfortable to you, not me.

As stated earlier, nothing has been confirmed or set in stone. This is a very loose plan that can, if needed, drop out with 24 hours notice.

So if no-one minds just a show of names below to see if this idea has any legs......

At the risk of being put in the cooler, I'd take issue with Hinckley being in the north! In any event it's too far south for me :)

With you on that... and I would take issue with Pesto being in Hinckley too.

Originally from Hinckley but seeing as I now live in Kent, I am out.

We've got some of my wife's university friends coming to visit that weekend...

...If it's going really badly, I might be tempted to drive across and join you - but I doubt that would make me popular at home.

Also you're really on the wrong side of Birmingham for me (no problems with the North-South axis though!)

I’m tempted to pop along from S.Derbyshire- are you planning to eat then drive, rather than the other way round?

I was about a mile from there a couple of hours ago! (On my way from Grantham to Gloucester.) But sadly can't make that date.

Sadly no car and have plans, but if they change I will post.

I guess it is quiet due to holiday season plans.

Morning gents
So I get the availability is low, hopefully due to the time of year & beautiful weather and not my planning?
Either way the restaurant has called me to confirm numbers so I've cancelled the big table.
Perhaps if I arrange something later in the year in the Midlands we'll have a better availability?
September perhaps??
But for today, I've cancelled the table. No meeting tonight.
Have a fantastic weekend everyone

Early Sept. Late September is VTPOB so some will be away.

I’m probably going to this in Appleby Magna if you are local
a real mix of interesting cars there when I popped along in June.
