Whats your plans then?

Daz and I have been throwing times around (midday leaving from Brissle) - what about everyone else?

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that warp factor 9 usual VMAX travelling rates won't be in force, seeing as 1. it'll be during the day, and 2. we will have speed limiters installed in the passenger seats.

[GlenMH]

We were aiming to leave about midday too. I agree that Vmax will probably be out. Any ideas on a route as the obvious one is a bit dull....

BTW has Bill given you that money you know, the incredibly belated money that means I owe you a few pints?

[mechsympathy]

I haven't, in fact I forgot about it until he mentioned you were being particularly crap on that count at the weekend when I felt obliged to come clean. I'm not sure how I managed to get away wih not coughing up there and then though - although he might have mentioned garage rental.

Midday seems like a plan. I too have an organic rev limiter...

[GlenMH]

- Mechsympathy was a bit sheepish about that!! Even longer before I need to start stumping up for a home for the pose mobile

Organic rev limiter is not the issue - it is hearing your self think above 0.85 leptons with the top down. Lets hope it is a day like last Saturday

I'm sure I don't have an ice cube's chance in hell persuading Claire, but it would be nice to take the Caterham Possibly not such a good plan for the return trip though

In Steph's words: so you are poofing out of taking the caterham??

Might be your final drive in it....

I got as far as "If the weather's really good that weekend" before she said no

I could send her up in Neil's beetle...

Now, that may well be a possiblity seeing as Hayley has wisely decided to book the Carpet people to come and measure up for our carpets on Sat morning. They reckon they'll be between 8 and 12 - so I shall be stood with bags at the door at 12 tapping my watch.

*givemestrength*

please don't refer to the beetle as mine, it makes me question things...

I think you should bring your Beetle. Matches your eyes...

Bill.

I'll be driving the M5, if Claire doesn'#t want to travel in the Caterham or you want a support vehicle to ferry your luggage. Alternatively what about the Land Rover.

Thinkning about it, this may be better, seeing as we may be in the dog house due to something or other and we may need somewhere to sleep after being kicked out of our respective bedrooms...

That plan is even sillier than the Caterham one

I can't possibly be bad enough to warrant being kicked out and made to sleep in a roof tent with you. Shirley??

Any reason your not taking the Porkie? Have to admit my insurance yearly mileage allowance (5000) is running low on the Lotus so may have to take the Merc

[dazren]

No reason. Mainly motorway and there will be traffic about.......
