I'm going to try to make it too - I'll bring my son, he loves Skylines - anyone offering to take him out for a spin?
I'll get him a trip in the skyline if i can have a ride out in the TVR
Erm, you're offering a ride in someone else's car? Maybe you'd better check with them first?
Nah hes one of my best m8's it'll be cool. Failing that he can go out in a Corvette

Sound like we may have a deal then! Nice one
I'm really looking forward to this, good cross section of cars coming, I am not interested in the bubble meet at all, so will probably actually find it really interesting. Also a fair few PHers that I really want to meet and say 'Hi' to as well.
Maybe an opportunity for a good drive too later in the day, and a late pub lunch/early dinner or something.

Although I won't be giving it big guns as its running as smooth as a washing-machine full of house bricks at the moment
Its in dire need of a tune up and no time to get it done before the weekend.

I'd like to come along - new attender but member of Performance Section of (wait for it..) Volvo Owners Club.
Just to confirm - 10am, 13th at Donington Services, yes?
Can someone tell me where Donnington services is? Last time i arranged to meet somone there I went to the services on the A50 just before J24 only to be told Donnington services was somewhere else. I presume its on the M1 - is it before or after J24 (heading south)?

On the M1, just north of the a42(m42) turn, I think thats the one. Probably about J24/25.
Question to Midlands forumers -
am I welcome to a meet in the Westfield when I get it SVA'ed???

Donington Services are not actually on the motorway. Come off at the M1 junction and either follow the signs for the services or for the E Midlands airport. From the A50 you need to go over the motorway (round the roundabout) and when you come back over the motorway keep to the left and take the first left off. Then follow the road (about 1/2m) to the next roundabout which the services are off. On entering we will be in the left hand corner as you enter

Oh dear.....this should be interesting then
Right, is it a Shell one at least? I think we may be talking about the same place, just me getting the road wrong.....I asked mmy mate (he might pop along in his Corrado VR6) and he thought it was on t e A50 too...
Any chance of linking to a Multimap that shows it?

Junc 23a of the M1, or if come off at Junc 24, at roundabout follow signs for the Nottg'm East Mids Airport, services are at the top of the next slip road.

The services are exactly where the red arrow points to above. They are NOT the A50 services !
If coming from the North, get off the M1 at junction 24 and follow the Ashby Road which goes parallel with the M1 till you get to the roundabout.
If coming from the South, get off the M1 at junction 23a. You'll come to the same roundabout.
