I'll be picking it up somewhere between the M6 bridge and the A423, depending on weather (i.e. whether I take the long way round or the direct route!!!).

Anyone else heading from that direction?

Sounds good. What time are people planning to get there - I'm flexible, and happy to 'collect' people on the way past (IYSWIM).

Holly - if you decide you want to head down together, I can head via Brinklow (that's right, isn't it?) - it's an easy detour from my place, and it means I get to do the road down from Ansty Hall!!! biggrin

yeah.. what time are things supposed to happen on saturday?
provided it's not too early, it'd be good to meet some folks on the fosse...

if so.. I shall wait here:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geoc...
(the garage just after going under the railway if heading south)
and pick up the convoy... :-)

just read the calendar... and it's a 10:00 start.. but no point in being there too early, as the supercar lot usually like to make an entrance once everybody else has arrived!! wink

I should be able to time it to meet you two there as well.

Not using e-mail at the moment as I've a persistent Trojan at home...I'm losing hope of shifting it without rebuilding the machine, as AVG and PestPatrol keep finding and quarantining the same stuff...it's either a registry problem or they've installed a backdoor disguised as a genuine file.

Sounds serious, I hope I don't suffer that sort of luck now I have moved from Apple back to MS. Apple never had any security threats.

Bulls head car-park sounds like a plan. I'd guess it's 15mins or so from there to the Garage Piers and Duncan are meeting at. So say 9.25 at the pub?

Looking at the forecast I'll probably be in the black 'teg rather than the S2000.

That's OK...I'll take it easy on you!!! winkgetmecoat

(More seriously...I'm going to see what I feel like in the morning...I do love driving the S, but I can have more fun in the wet in the 'teg...it's more docile around the limit.)


Duncan, Piers...you OK to wait 5 minutes st the garage for us to turn up in case I've got my timing wrong?

i went down the fosse way just now and watch out for that sole speed camera !
its hard to desribe where it is, but there are loads of speed camera signs just before it and its on a hill, excellent road! driving at 2am down there with no cars on the road is great
