I am planning on doing this with friends this year, we are doing in on 24th, we have 6 cars in our group, hotel for Friday night is booked.

Cool, we're doing 24th too! So far it looks like probably three bikes and four cars. Will be cool to meet you, look forward to it

[blaineuk]

We have booked into a premiere inn at Camborne if anyone wants to join us on the Friday night, then plan to sit around drinking coffee/red bull in Saturday.
Not decided on what route to take yet.

May take you up on that. Need to wait for Mrs Rob to decide if she's coming so I can choose car or bike, as well...

Could be up for that as well. Will discuss with my co-driver and update thread.

I'm planning on doing this on the 24th. Will keep an eye on this thread

I am doing this on the 24th. A303 and South around the M25. Going to use the Z06 which will mean plenty of fuel stops and I will be deaf by Launceston let alone Lowerstoft!

Awesome, I can't wait to see it

[Skywalker]

Just been have a read of this and fancy joining the gang on the 24th - having been at Le Mans the weekend before my sleeping pattern will be ready for messing around again. Will be in the SLK350.

[amancalledrob]

I'll either be on a '99 FireBlade or in my engine-swapped Mk4 Fiesta shed. Should be a great night though

[feef]

I'm going to try and use this as a deadline for my engine swap

[jason900]

I blew the engine in my supercharged MX5 (mk 2.5, 1.8 sport), so I'm dropping in a 1UZ (4.2L V8 from a Lexus LS400)

There is a thread, but work has stalled since November, pretty much, due to time (I've been away skiing and other stuff the last couple of months), weather and lack of light as the car's on the drive.

I'm hoping to make more progress once the weather is being kinder

That looks insane!! Really hope I get to see it

So - sunrise is 04:32 in Lowestoft on the 25th.

And sunset looking like 20:36 at Land's Park End.

So - should be doable...
