I will support the argument (if there has to be one) for your inclusion after the last one - you mad b******!! Kept on having to keep an eye on the mirror when you kept on blasting past - and then checking I hadn't got the hand brake on......
Let's hope there's room for all! I'd be happy with the same route, cars, timing but that's living in East Kent for yer wink

Hello everyone.

Despite appearances to the contrary this event has not been forgotten.
I am currently busy like you wouldn't believe, but I WILL be sending out all the usual details before the weekend.

I haven't looked at the entry e-mail account for ages, so apologies if you have sent me a message and heard nothing back.



I am aiming to get everything finalised before Thursday.

If you were on the original list, you are in.
If not, but you've posted/e-mailed, you are likely to be in. I will notify EVERYONE who made it via e-mail, NOT on here. There are a number of people coming along whose details are not on the run list, so I hope you understand if it's not been your lucky day. The reason I couldn't have another mental 100 car jobby is because we are ending up at a different location this time, and there would not be the space. Pleas bear in mind that a couple of years ago, the biggest local runs were only full of about 16 cars!


Really, really sorry that I've been so quiet on here of late, I'm doing my best but the job/commute has had to take priority. For what it's worth, and apologies also if this make no sense to you, I've only been in the position for a couple of weeks but I'm roughly 75% certain I've done enough work to generate about £20k in fees (a few cands to 2nds, little competition, positive feedback all round, no barriers to completion).

All I can say is, as usual -


"If there are ANY developments, I will ALWAYS about post them on here"



Thanks,

(Sleepy) Jay

Excellent!

I haven't posted lately but I'm on the original list and will be there.

Jay, I don't mean to pressue you and fully understand about new job but for those of us to have to travel a bit can you post the meeting time as soon as you are able?

Cheers

James

Fair comment, as a newbie you wouldn't know.



Start time is 5.30

LAST DEPARTURES (ie including me) at 6.00


Start point - well I can't reveal that. But it's within about 10/15 minutes of the Kentish portion of the M25.

Are you intending a stopping/meeting point 'east' of the start point? driving A start that far west kent means a very early start (4 - 4.30am?) eek from east east kent(also hugh and dan) and the previous 'second' meeting point at 6ish was greatly appreciated!! wink
Picking the car up today (I hope!!) with new sump (pinched an inch) and heating problem sorted. New brakes over 350 miles old so looking forward to testing them on sunday woohoo

Agreed, somewhere like Maidstone services or nearer the M20 anyway.

I spoke to Jay last night - he said he has a huuuge pile of e-mails to check through - He has started a new job and is very keen to get stuck into some old fashioned things like "earning a living" wink

Personally I think he's being completely unreasonable and selfish and should get his priorities straightened out - his first purpose in life is to organise a great hoon for us all to drive on tongue out

wink
