Have signed up. Been meaning to take the OH there just to have a mooch around the museum again so perfect opportunity.

That as well as meeting with other PetrolHeads of course. (y)

8x GR86 and 5x GR Yaris so far - need to find a corner to all park in lol

I'll hopefully be there as well - it looks like I need to be in two places at once, as I'm at a Japanese car event at Bicester on the same morning, but hopefully I'll be able to do both in the same morning as they're not too far away from each other.

I'd already booked that as well - will see where we spread ourselves :ROFLMAO:
 
I plan to be there.. but not in a GR, not built yet!
 
Signed up but car only just in build so no chance of going in that, will take the MINI.
 
Can anyone tell me what these meets are like? Are they fun?
 
You do get to see quite an eclectic variation of cars which I like.
The PH meets at Silverstone for instance used to be great where there was some on track action to see but it's just variations on "people wandering around a car park looking at cars" so not sure how "fun" you expect them to be lol
At least the one mentioned here has reduced admission into the museum which is well worth a visit anyway.

9x GR86s down for PH currently but Bicester seems 27 miles closer to home for me 🤔

Gaydon is on the way home from Bicester for me, so I’ll likely head there first thing, and if it doesn’t keep my attention there for long enough drop into Gaydon on the way home (weather permitting).

This is quite accurate. Obviously most of them are a static meet in a car park, however it’s a friendly crowd and you will often find a £1mil car next to a Dacia and that’s the best part.

Although at Thruxton I think there were over 10 x GRY so any more of us and it would probably be boring (a good example was a recent Seat UK SS that had the owners club there and was quite dull to look round, the weather didn’t help).

They’re normally at interesting places though like Morgan, Mercedes Benz World, and various motor circuits so there’s always something extra to do.
 
Signed up for this a while ago on the reserve list but they've since increased it to 700 cars so I'll be there in the GR86.

Had a quick look last night and there were 10x GR86, 10x GT86, 9x GR Yaris, 2x Corolla, 1x Chaser... Potentially a decent Toyota turnout! ...no Supras on the list :(
 
Hopefully they'll still be room at Gaydon for us going to Bicester Heritage first - plan to leave Bicester about 10 > 10.30am
 
Mine is currently immaculate but I'm pretty sure 80 miles of motorway will soon see to that on the way up!

Are we leaving our cars manky for Sunday at Bicester and Gaydon or have I got to finally wash it?

:unsure:

I’m going to attempt to wash mine, but let’s see if the weather lets me. Looks like Bicester has sold out, so hopefully it’ll be a good one.
 
Pretty good turnout I thought, there seemed to be an interesting Toyota to look at wherever I turned!

I parked up with this rabble (@Will300 at the top there?) ...but you'd all cleared out by the time we got back from the museum ...

Silver looked great, would be my 2nd choice colour I think...
