Retro Rides Vs. The Deer in Richmond Park, London 21st Sept

[HoTWire]

So I've made this as a new event in a new calendar system I'm trying out, check out the event :

retro-rides.org/frontpage/?tribe_events=retro-rides-vs-the-deer-in-richmond-park-london

I also made a facebook event for it to so you can share it with your local friends : www.facebook.com/events/159599224246250/

First time trying a London meet up, we picked somewhere picturesque and well connected (A3 passes right by it) ... so come on down, talk, look at cars... cruise down for some doughnuts later.



Lets see how this calendar goes and maybe we'll kick into a new more detailed and better looking calendar and try and hook some more facebook stuff up for the local events.

Being a bit of a Northerner(Warwickshire, lol)and not having been down to that there London village for some years, How do we stand with old cars and that do-fangled emissions zone thingy I've heard of?

The low emission zone only affects commercial vehicles above a certain weight limit. (Tax exempt commercials are also exempt from the LEZ too!)

Correct, but then you'll be miles from the C zone in Richmond Park anyway!

[HoTWire]

If you are in North London, at that time on a Sunday you can drive straight through the center of town without any problem.. it is the route I take when I go from South London to The Pod


As added spice one of the Japanese guys we met when rmad and I went to NHOA meeting in Japan a few years ago is over in London and can only do a car thing on the 21st, so would love to see some cool local stuff

And I'd been thinking all this time, that my all old motors (my most modern vehicle is 1997) were banned from that there london village!

Richmond parks robin hood gate is shut and has been for a few years,no access to park through there, only by Kingston hospital, easy to get to though!

[HoTWire]

True, true the gate is shut, but the carpark is still there and because the gate is shut is less likely to have cars in it

When I'm at computer illmake a wee map

[HoTWire]

That would be useful I share in all the places we have info up.

[Amazosan]

Come join us, and tell your friends, get run over by self-righteous cyclists...

[Richard TR7]

Look out look out, I will (hopefully) be there in a bug splattered Caravelle. Driving home from holiday the day before so will bring the kids and leave the wife to unpack!

See you there,
Rich.
