As the title asks, how many of us are in or near Wiltshire? Just asking out of curiosity as if there are enough of us it might be worth arranging a pub/social meet and maybe setting up a 'Retro-rides family of contacts' so that if any of us are in the area of another we can call in for a cuppa and a chat.
Obviously I am in wiltshire or I wouldn't have started this. I live in Tidworth, a squadi (army) town just off the A303 not far from stonehenge.
Who else is within traveling distance?

Well, Who's Dave is from Trowbridge, the man himself Hotwire is in Bradford on Avon and I'm in Midsomer Norton, near Bath but not far from Wilts. I'd say we were all in driving distance and I would certainly be up for a meet. Sounds like a plan.
Cast the net a bit further and I think 104ZS in in Gloucestshire somewhere??

Sounding promising. I know whos dave is local as I met him this evening (see 'cruising in a tina' thread) which is what put the idea into our heads.

count me in, quick run up from Bournemouth. Perhaps the Atwell Wilson place would make a good meeting point, lots of Retro cars in storeage, at Calne.

Wooo Sounds like a plan ... I've been trying to figure out who is near by for ages Have to find a suitable meeting point, but there are plenty of spots around this area so that is all good.

Right, I think we need to find somewhere mid point amongst us all and find the nearest accomodating pub with a sizeable car park. Would people be interested in an afternoon meet or an evening meet? Mid-week or weekend? (Bearing in mind traveling problems with weekend summer traffic)

Post lunch meeting at the weekend, would be favourite,.. But evening meeting is also possible,.. the near Bradford On Avon the better for that though ... annoyingly I know a REALLY good spot for a meeting,.. but it's about 15 minutes away from Bradford On Avon, so I think thats gonna be too far for most of you
