Nope, perish the thought Just the usual PH mobile double post glitch.

Ok for me. Can we decide on a rough time? Are Bentley aware we want their car park? Do we care?
Seriously, I will trap whenever suits.
2woody, you are still good for a lift, so let me know your plans. You will maybe know my partner, (business) mv6.

Sound. If you are getting there by car, can I suggest 8.30ish somewhere near J43 that you can park up.

Parking is authorised outside the main reception. BUT, only for Rolls Royces with Bentley badges. Rolls Royces with Rolls Royce badges are not allowed, and will have to park in the visitors car park.

How absurd!

Quite.

The chap at Bentley was apologetic about it, and hoped no one would be offended.

But as Winston Churchill said "History is written by the victors".

It takes a bit more than taking the sign down and jet washing the mark it left behind on the wall to erase 70 years though, no matter how casually they can toss it aside.

Hi Chaps,

Bit of a bump

I've got the trailer serviced, Bentley clean() and the latex gloves, duct tape and cable ties at the ready.


So I guess we just need to confirm who is turning up

Shame that not everyone can make it.

Anyway, 11am at Crewe chaps?

All welcome, whether in a Bentley or not.

Looking forward to it, and meeting BG's dishevelled brother

[2woody]

are there any parts requests or other stuff that anyone needs bringing along on the 6th ?

[Bluebottle911]

Sorry, I shan't be coming all the way from Devon, but I hope you have a good meeting - take plenty of photos and let us see them.

If you've got a decent rear nearside bumper end cap for a 1990 Turbo R it would be a much appreciated miracle.

As this is my esteemed passenger speaking, nobody better ask for a spare Bentley!

Sorry I couldn't make it to join you today. But as I mentioned, I was doing the 'Crewe Experience' tour last Friday, which was brilliant,so to make two long journeys was not possible at this time. Our guide was Alan Powell, he was fantastic. If anyone hasn't done the tour yet, then you simply MUST do it. We were fortunate to be there on a Friday production day, such is the demand for new Bentley's, they were on a five day week. To see the plant in full operation was quite something. Picture is of me with 'Hatty' my Turbo R outside the main reception last Friday.

[AndrewW-G]

You missed a nice day, it was good to catch up with almost all of the people who turned up
