Nice car. Does it fit in the garage?

Good deal - nice one! Will be nice to see another tiv gracing the hallowed LB roads! Would love to take a look when you've got it, if thats ok - always wondered if I could really fit in one... Tony

The guy who currently owns it is a rugby player, not a small chap! When i got in the car to drive it I couldn't reach the pedals and i'm 6ft.

I think you'll fit in fine...

Route Details can be found here

http://planet-tvr.htmlplanet.com/LBIII.htm

Also inlcudes maps of the downs car park and Willen Lake from Sheepy's earlier Streetmap posting. So they are all in one place to print off. Copies will be available on the day though if you can't print off the route.

If anyone has any questions or need futher help just ask.

Will there be experienced co-drivers there? Those directions read more like pace notes!

"Sharp right… 50 sharp left… 200 sharp right… 10 shallow right… 30 shallow left… "

They're from Autoroute so it's all "you must turn right 134.77 metres from the junction" It is a road rally, of sorts

At least we won't lose anyone

We're working on it.

I've just realised that it's my Mum's birthday that weekend, so I might have to take a rain-check . Shame as she lives closer than I do.

As I said, I'll let you know nearer the day if I'm in the Jag or taking up your offer.

The next Towcester meet is on that day too....free admission - just in case you fancied driving a few miles further up the road to watch live horse racing in the afternoon ....they have food and a bar too

[biturbo]

Just to let you know, I was round by the lake this lunchtime and the restaurant/pub is undergoing a refurb
It will reopen on Sunday 26th October

[sheepy]

I'm guessing FWD (or Aardvark as he's now known) knew this and it's a bit of great planning by him. Or not.

Well, if we get there and it's not open, we can always find somewhere else (after pushing FWD into the lake!)

Sheepy

[Aaaaaardvark]

I may have heard a whisper

We will be the first to trash the new decor on their opening day...I mean try it out

[pies]

You're still not top of the BTaP list

[sheepy]

Update to first post to include the times:

10:00 meet at Dunstable Downs

10:30 leave DD for Willen

12:30 - 13:00 Arrive Willen

If you're definately going on the run, please email me through my profile (or post YES in reply, if you don't want me to know your email address) so I can collate a list of names to check off. We don't want to leave anyone behind!!!

If you're going straight to the Pub, then we aim to be there between 12:30 and 1pm.

I know it means an early start, but hey what else would you be doing on a Sunday morning?
