I take it there won't be a show here then , thats not fair!

But you are a lot closer to the majority of the shows than us down in the South-West. I live in Plymouth, so am quite fortunate to be close to Exeter, but the situation is even worse for those that live in Cornwall.

From Plymouth:

Exeter 44 miles
Newark 266 miles
Stafford 223 miles
Donnington 239 miles
Stoneleigh 202 miles

From Norwich:

Exeter 322 miles (ok that's quite a journey...)
Newark 106 miles
Stafford 187 miles
Donnington 135 miles
Stoneleigh 145 miles

We don't get much action down here, don't take our kit car show away!

For Me:

Exeter 213 miles
Newark 43 miles
Stafford 33 miles
Donington 19 miles
Stoneleigh 57 miles


Sometimes I don't realise how lucky I am!

Not seen any advertising promoting them there, so don't know.

We do know that Dynamic Performance won't be showing the 'Attack' but there will be a new Lambo rep there!!

bad news looks like I wont be making it to exeter Tried to suggets we visit the managements aunt in crudwell on saturday then go to the show on sunday don't think it worked though very non commital reply. Something like "you'll be knackered from all the driving" to which I just shrugged conversation died at that point

[meeja]

My understanding is that there is a massive Flower arranging/DIY makeover/Chippendales/Recording of Bargain Hunt* exhibition just near to junction 30 on the M5 next weekend.

Try dropping that into the conversation....

No,no,no...all wrong.

Try "We are going to Exeter on the Sunday".

[meeja]

Another alternative (Which has worked for me in the past!) is to book a hotel on the Dorset coast for the Saturday night, and tell her that you are taking her for a "weekend seaside break"...... And Exeter is on the route home from Dorset..... well, kind of.....

Or even.....

Hiya love.... I'm going to Exeter this weekend..... you can come too if you fancy it.....

[spartan_andy]

Yep..... just the one though..... 4 months old (therefore the journey will be pretty much timed to coincide with feed times!)

[spartan_andy]

Mine are 3years and 18 months both girls but the youngest is a bit of a tomboy already

Which day will you be going if I can persuade the management I will be going on sunday so perhaps we can meet a dens stand with a coffee for the "old man"

All I said was "Do you want to go to the show in Exeter?"

Reply was "No"

"OK, I'm going"

Reply "OK"

Sorted!

[spartan_andy]

like your style Ex biker

[Ex-Biker]

Well that's the way I like to think it went.

It looks like I won't see most of you up there (down there to you northerners) as I'll be there on the Saturday and it looks like most of you (well meeja, Andy, MR2Mike etc) are going on Sunday.

Shame, but I'm sure we'll all enjoy it.

How F far!!!!!!

When is it?
'cause I might actually be too busy building my Marlin by then!

If I'm very good (at building) I might even have it done. (Or SVA'd and driveable)
