thats the plan Bomb, although us Newcastle lot are more than likely planning to meet in Safeway's car-park in the Team Valley and go down as a convoy

If Wendy is coming (now that you've annouced yourself, you must ) we could meet her at Durham services?

....Do we meet at a lay-bye en route to the airport ??

Yep. Travelling north the lay-by is north bound on the A67 just before the airport roundabout.

MickC is picking me up from home, I live near J63 on the A1(M), so we'd want to meet up with the convoy too.
Durham services sounds good.

I can bring a rover 216 instead of the Chimaera if it helps....

Provided I can get there, I'll prob meet at durham services as I'll be getting on the A1 from the washington services slip road (coming through the tunnel y'see - it has to be done!)

At the minute, the only parts I'm waiting on are:

Gearbox
Gear linkages
Samco hose kit
Gp N suspension top mounts

I also need engine oil (may as well change the gloop).

Stuff I currently have, waiting to go on:

Handbrake cables
Clutch cable
Sachs clutch
Spax 40mm springs
ARB drop links
Engine mounts
Varying types of bolts and nuts
Nice sparkly new Total gearbox oil

If everything goes to plan, I'll be able to work on the car on thursday and friday - that should see me to a point whereby I am either ready to put the new box on, or ready to fill the vital fluids up (depending on how hard I work!) so it *is* looking do-able!

Mick, I've had a comment from someone who would like to come along but feels like an outsider because of the number of TVR's. I'm not trying to have less TVR's. I'm trying to encouage non-TVR PHers to join us. Please come in the Chimaera.

Lots of things

Bu99er you've got a lot to do. If you can't get it on the road in time you'll have to see if anyone can offer you a passenger ride.

Why don't you lot meet up at Washington Services instead, that would benefit myself and (fingers crossed) Dave.

Why not do it in this forum and encourage chim_girl etc. to come look here. Ted may be able to replicate/mirror the thread between forums or is it (fori).

I mentioned it in there a while back, and most people have something to do that weekend don't know what that says about us.

Sounds good Bob. I have emailed Wedgie and asked if Frankie will be attending, but nothing back yet.

Any cars are welcome IMHO not just TVRs. So anybody who wants to come please do.
