10 days to go so I thought I'd better start asking: who want's picking up en-route (Fri' 17th).

Looks like it may be a rather poor showing from the Cornish Contingent (deepest S/W) this year: one getting married (some excuse) and another with work commitments (tut). So, it looks as though it'll be just James (Cornishboy) and myself with the intention of leaving Helston sometime around 8am (Flexible on this one). So, anyone along the A30, M5 wanna hook up? ZZ Top, Dulfords? Groucho, M5? Guillotine?

I'll be going on Saturday, leaving Chepstow before 8 am. Happy to collect or be collected en route.
Likely to be going Wye Valley, Monmouth, M50 - M5, Worcester, the 'Inkberrow' (ie David Gerald) road to Stratford.

Hey Bruce, Rich and I are leaving "early" Saturday to set up our tvrcarparts stand before 9am. I guess that means we will be at Collumpton around 7am but by that time you will be getting in from the curry night hurland going to bed!

Hi Chris. Yup, I saw Rich and Big Col' this afternoon. I think Andy Race and Col' have some kind of race commitment so I guess I'll see you all up there over the weekend sometime. Not doin' the curry thing this year; will find a more local means of making myself sick!

Hey Bruce,

Sorry I'm late on this one.

We are at Oulton on the Sat racing, so we'll be down Sat night for beer/crisps/more beer/ZZZZs the will be around all Sunday on the TVRcarparts stand.

The monster will be on the Rollers Sunday, but other than that, we are expecting a quiet weekend.

We'll be trailering ofcourse, but we may put on the R888s for a few rides.

andy

(looking forward to seeing your monster, Bruce smile)

yikes Hehe; and your right of course. Though it could be that the GF may. . . or may not. . . be Up the Cullins with her shiny new chalk bag and matching length of Beal!. So, after my Monohoon, it could just be a 'Tesco Take-away for one please luv'!

Drunk me, Graham! But yes I am aiming to get as drunk again as it is only the polite thing to do. In fact I remember bidding quite high at the auction and being quite glad when Tes out bid me. But I'm sure I won't learn from my mistakes, so get em in, and what's up for auction? cos I want it.

Aah, there you are. Called you a couple of times ref' the following: 1.- I'm on the rollers with Mark Adams at MechRep in Cheltenham on Friday at 2pm for my re-map so there's no panic to get away; it's pretty much on route though so I hope you'll hang around for that. 2.- I may have to drop some work off on the way but again it's en-route. 3.- Mark C may be along for the hoon up to the Rolling Road in the 993 Turbo.

Right then, that's the Cornish Contingent mobile. . . . all TWO of us. A rather woeful contribution and a pitiful carbon footprint from just 10 litres! Pah!

See you up there; take care behind the wheel you guys!
