David are you suggesting I am 43 years old. Or 43 on the list I have checked and should be 15 on the list. And I still get asked for Id when I buy booze I thank you (granted I think the bird was extracting the urine, but made me feel good. Then I realised she was serious and wouldn't sell me gin)

Is it not true that she wouldn't sell you gin as you look more of a Tenants Super kinda guy?

P.S. cheers for sending the email on thumbup

Thanks for the email Mr Chips, thanks or organising all this, for all the work planning and checking the route and for dealing with Brooklands for us. Really looking forward to next weekend, and will get the sat.nav programmed ready for the big day. bouncedriving

I too would like to thank Mr Chips for all the work he has put in. With regards the ITN file. I am I right in saying that because I have a Garmin, I'm stuffed!

There are a number of program's that will convert .itn files for Garmin.

Try this site http://www.tyretotravel.com/ the free version will do conversions

Doesn't it take .itn files? If not, just make sure you are immediately behind someone with a working sat nav.

It's fairly obvious you haven't been before, smile

After 2-3 sets of lights (in London about 1/4 mile) it get chaotic

I remember at one point I was at a set of 5 way cross roads with a at least 3 tvr's in each one all going completely different ways

But surely that's part of the fun.smile
I use sat nav as much as traction control, ABS and airbags.
Getting a bit lost in London with TVRs passing in all directions is brilliant.
