I can make the meeting, its a day off for me!!

It will probably be the last time I will drive the car in its present state, before it gets ripped to bits for the Cosworth conversion.Looking forward to it.

Hope I will be allowed to come to future events in the Griff if the S isn't finished. I promise to lurk in the background with the eurotrash!!!

I'm in the same boat as last time - My S is off the road, but not in a million pieces this time

Work commitments arnt helping my weekends either, so if I can go I may have to be the outcast with the MG at the back

Can someone confirm exactly where the meet is, I found this map:

www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?grid2map?X=497500&Y=169500&zoom=3

But it shows two possible car parks - which one is it?

Cheers,

Steve.

It's the one on the A30, next to the pub.

DIRECTIONS

Directions to Virginia Water.


If travelling from North and West.

Exit M25 at Junction 13 (A30 Staines).
At roundabout go straight over – A30 Bagshot and Egham.

**
You will appear to be travelling back up to the M25 – you must move over to the far left lane – Be careful to not go back onto the M25!

Left lane will run along side the M25 and then curves sharply to the left (great corner – never stops !). At the roundabout take the 2nd exit marked A30 Basingstoke and Camberley.

At the next roundabout (Maranello Ferrari Sales on right – horrible Italian thingies !!!) go straight over – A30 Basingstoke and Camberley. Garage on your left.

Follow the road up the hill past Royal Holloway College and go straight over the traffic light junction at the top of the hill. Continue to follow this road for approx. 1½ to 2 miles.

You are now into the Great Park and you will notice Squirrels and other small animals on the verges. Ah isn’t it lovely. Perfectly suitable to be disturbed by the far more glorious sound of a TVR’s exhaust note !

The Virginia Water Car Park is located on the right hand side of the road before the Total Garage on left and before The Wheatsheaf pub on right.

Access is straight after the ‘40’ limit signs and looks a little like a layby at first with a height restriction gate over the entrance.


If travelling from South and East.

Exit M25 at Junction 13 (A30 Staines).
At roundabout take the 4th exit as if you were doubling back onto the M25.

Follow instructions above from **

You will need £3.50 in change for the Virginia Water Car Park. You have to pay for the car park as you enter rather than as you leave. There are no speed bumps to worry about !!
