Between what times are people planning on being there?

I have some chores to run in the morning, like getting a haircut and also washing the Sag, but I'd like to meet up with a lot of the people on this thread if possible.

I'll be heading over from Kent Jon, leaving around 10am I guess, there or thereabouts anyway. Aim to get there before midday. I'll be on the M20, M26, M25, A3 etc. Will have the daughter with me so might go straight there with her or take her to my parents up the road from RG first.

I would very much doubt they'd want the bad publicity of a failed FFF head caused by circumstances beyond their control (ie. a DIY fit). I know I wouldn't if it were my business.

(No offence intended at all - I'm sure your DIY skills are exemplary)

Jon, I can leave at earliest at 10 AM CET from a funeral. Think I'll be there around 2-3 PM UK time.

You can't miss me, RHD Range Rover Sport on Belgian license plates, that's me... If my car isn't around, just look for the baldy in black clothes LOL

I'm very sorry to hear that you have to attend a funeral Pascal. frown

I'm not sure when I will be there, but I am lucky enough to love only 15 minutes from Racing Green so I am very flexible on when I can be there.

Good point, would be nice if you could purchase the parts bit by bit to spread the cost.

Yeah, but WHEN (and trust me, some day you WILL) lose yours, it won't be out of free will smile

Nope. Got good hair genes!

Dad died at 77 with a full head of hair and not a sign of grey. Neither of his brothers went grey or bald, nor his dad. Nor my maternal grandfather (well, very grey - white even - but amazing mane of hair).

Well, lucky you!

But more importantly, when are you going to be at RG?

I'm nursing a bit of a hangover so it will be a little later, say after lunch maybe.

That's a shame, Lee, it would have been nice to have met you.

I have a few pics from today which I'll be posting up on Flickr later.

T40ORA was still on the ramps yesterday. Did Lee get it back today or something?
