Is anyone driving up to blackpool on Sunday for the Back Home event from derbyshire ? Myself and a mate with an S3 will be going. It would be nice to have more than a 2 car convoy over those awesome peak park roads!

We are driving up tonight or at least we leave at 3:30 to make the mad dash to the bar, so I hope to be there at 7:30 to 8pm tonight. So who ever is there I will see you in the bar

It all depends what the roads are like for this 270 mile run.

See ya laters.

Hi Richard, spent yesterday there but had too much to do to go back today. Spent most of today drying out and sorting out the most obscure problem with a Chimaera. Thankfully I have just solved it so I can feel a beer coming on, See you soon
