By the way, having just re-read my previous post about falling in love with your lance, I think I need to make it clear to all that its your car I've got in mind, not, err, anything else......!

Glad you have cleared that one up!! I was starting to get a bit worried

Perhaps he just wanted to be in your layby club?

calling Yeti, Adam(V8V), Steve(897SMA)and Nick.

Guys..just thought I would try and tie up arrangements for Saturday. I am going down to Trinity Saturday morning to have a look around and meet up with Lewis for bacon rolls and coffee!! The plan is to meet Adam at Toddington (food and drink place) around 2 then meet Nick at the 'normal' place shortly after. Yeti has a 'deal' to do at Donington on the way (another food/drink stop - can see a pattern here Lewis) then its off to Leeds (more food and drink!).
Do you want to PM me your phone numbers and we can keep in touch as the day progresses and discuss anything further via Email.

You have my phone number. We will meet at a new lay by just off J20 of the M1. I know so many lay by's

Yeti I have found this on the wine list

Savigny les Beaune, Hauts Marconnets 1er Cru, Chanson 2008
with a history dating back to 1750, this fine Domaine was founded during the reign of
Louis XV. A ‘flagship’ wine, rich, persistant and elegant, the vineyard is close to Meursault,
but without the ‘top end’ price tag

Adam's car is at BR being rebuilt after John drove it up there

Adam's car is at Grange in Brentwood being fixed under warranty after I broke it

Sorry Adam, I am sure the new brakes that seemed to get very hot on the run up there will be fine, the new tyres will sort out the flat spots and of course the oil patch under the car has nothing to do with me !!!

Anyway I undertood that you wanted the BR engine conversion, so why you are making such a fuss about it, I don't know

Oh and sorry about the roof module packing up, I thought that folding the roof back at 90MPH was a feature of the roadster? I hope that they can repair that also??

All good, Cockers.

The biggest shock I got was when I turned on the stereo to have Chas & Dave blaring out at me.

I'll pop the CD in the post for you

PS - If anybody is reading this in the future, if I've decided to sell my car and you're checking out the history of it through my posts (I know I would), then all above is a fabrication!

Except the roof module.

That is buggered.

[Mako V12V]

My car won't return from its service and warranty work until next Wednesday so I won't be able to attend the drive out.
I think Sundays forecast is dry and sunny at times.
Good luck!

Thanks, you know my address

Have a great time the weekend everyone, very disappointed not to be there. Especially as you would get to hear and see Lance.

[Molly GT]

Well our Astonauts weekend starts this afternoon

We are heading north later (staying near Chesterfield tonight) and would like to fit in a visit to York tomorrow if possible (parking recommendations anyone? ).

Look forward to seeing you all in the bar tomorrow evening

[thetees]

Apologies if i missed it in amongst the other posts but...

What time are we meeting tomorrow evening?

York is great Molly - more bars/pubs within the city walls than there are days of the year
