Hi

I'm flying out of Heathrow for near 3 weeks on a diving holiday as a retirement prezzie.

If possible I'm looking for somewhere to park my car in exchange for some beer tokens

Leave it here if you like but guess you're looking for somewhere a bit closer ( I'm 100 miles away)?



PS you've misspelt driving wink

I'm nearer but have a full paddock. When are you off?

ETA I am nearer than Mike but not Peter.

Have you thought about booking a hotel.
The Easy jet Hotel at Heathrow for the dates you are flying is £121.00 for the night of the 21st .... that includes parking until the 7th April.

The Hoppa bus for £4.50 each will take you to the terminal from outside the Hotel.
We've used various hotels at various airports with free parking and its always been successful. Other Hotels are available but costs rise.

Can I borrow your car while you are away then ?

It's 31 miles from Whitehill in Hampshire where I live and could poss give you a lift depending on which shift I,m on. Alternatively the best way to Heathrow IMHO is the bus from Woking station it costs about £11 e/w but only takes about 20 mins straight to the terminal. Depending on my dads mood at the time there is also parking at Bisley which is approx 4 miles from Woking station.

Unless you have a better offer maybe drop me a mail. You will find me on the list from your previous S trips to Spa etc

Cheers Greg (GTL)

To my surprise and considerable satisfaction mine stayed dry even in those floods we had in Belgium. Until Debs had the window down a little to try to clear the screen....and a wagon went through a deep bit on the other side of the road....10mm 'solid' brown water!!! I was impressed by the way she dealt with it! biggrin

I know where that car is (or was a year or two ago). There were several Lotus Esprit S1 shells used. At least one was cut in half after the film and stored, some years later it was found and brought to England and a mate of mine was asked to handle the rejoining of the halves for a private museum. Regrettably, should Mick decide to pursue this, Barbara Bach did not come as part of the deal (mind you she would be 40 years older now, more suitable for Glen or I yum)

I suppose I could practise my diving again...

But I should probably wear a Ringo to be on the safe side... wink
