Very funny.

I hope not, is running well at the moment, it likes 99 octane as well, pity it drinks it so fast!

Right, after a discussion last night at the pub, we are thinking Saturday, 10 am Leicester Forest East on the M1, not sure which junction number, maybe someone else knows?

Any other options or is that ok??

Regards

Paddy


That'll be just before J21 I believe. It is very hard to miss It'll kill me getting up that early

There are a few going!
Have tickets gone up for sale yet? I've seen nothing but it's probably just me.

Tickets have not gone on sale yet. Ted will be mailing people. It'll no doubt be on a day when I am away from my computer

We have an Ariel Atom and a Bentley Turbo R. This is about as far removed as cars get, so we need to fill the gap in the convoy. Lets be 'avin you.

I'm thinking about going in the truck - not sure I'll be able to keep up with the convoy though - even if I run it on Optimax .
70mph is a little and also
Rog.
might be better to make my own way there .

Fantastic news Roger From my limited experience of Norfolk country driving, I'd say that we would be taking it steady as it is all too easy to end up in a dyke

Should be a fun drive down.

No! Leicester Forest East is just before J21 . Why are we meeting there anyway? Surely it is in the wrong direction. Admittedly I haven't considered a route yet...

It came from Starkholmes the other week, thought it would not be to far off the route for any one person.
If you've got any other ideas of a place let us know, that was just the first one that came to mind and looks kinda ok on a map.
