Looking forward to seeing you all through bleary eyes tomorrow, weather is looking bright and crisp, car is clean and full of vPower ready for the morning thumbup

On that note... You'd be surprised how quickly you get through fuel so for those coming from afar, make sure u top up.
There's also a BP on the A4 on the way out of London so another chance to get some before the final part of the route towards Brooklands.

Could someone who'll be arriving early post whether the tunnel across from the A13 is open?

Will there be much stops/start turning the cars on and off..? My alarm didn't get sorted today, so will end up having to pop the bonnet everytime I want to start the car after a while..

Not really, only at Battersea. Other times we may park up for a bit to let a few stragglers catch up but not so long you couldn't leave the car running. smile

There's a Thomas Thomas file you can upload, or a Word document you can print out. Did you not get them?

Email me and I will send them back to you this evening, together ith Dave's email and instructions on how to load the Tom Tom file.

I haven't been able to convert the files to work on my garmin. To add to that, I have now discovered my printer has run out of ink and can't even print off the word document! I'm assuming I will be able to follow at least one of the other 105 cars that are going insteadsmile

Anyone want stuff, just email me and I can email you back the stuff. I cannot email it through PH as it won't let me add attachments

I will bring spares of the word doc tomorrow, if you can spot my navy blue chimaera at the start. I will be arriving in the East Anglian convoy, which includes a yellow Chimaera, a blue Tuscan with Viper stripes, a pale blue Tamora and a silver and a red T350

I expect you will be at the garden centre then. If that is the case, I will see you there. Cheers

Still without a TVR and feel rubbish that I won't make this, sounds like it will be an excellent event! Have a great time and I hope one of you would be kind enough to let me watch some footage to make me even more jealous smile

Have sent you an email via PH - respond to it please, as I have to attach the files to an email to your real email address, as PH has no facility for attachments
