Yep, will coming along.

Hopefully you don`t mind, as I don`t have an Ultima yet, but doing all my research and hopefully my tax bill not too high by the end of next week, will be placing an order by Feb 2003, so will be coming along anyway.

I`ve met Stig and Guy, alias Blue Satin and as I only just sold my Esprit V8 before Xmas, I am trying to get a convoy of Esprits together to come along as well from the Esprit e-group I am a member of as well.

Waiting to hear back from my mate Jeff to see if he is coming along, as he has a Diablo, straight pipes, sounds awesome, but whichever way, I will be there!!

I'm trying to make it but in something a bit more mundane than the GTR.

Unless I drag the wedge out I suppose...

Defo will be there. My mate Jeff has confirmed will be there in his Diablo or Esprit, but more than likely his Diablo, unless snowing!!

Can you fit snow chains to an Ultima??

Think only 2-4 Esprits coming along according to the e-group.

Sun was out today and has dried out all the snow and water up here in the Midlands. If it don't snow then I'm going.
See you all there I hope.

It is just wet down here now, with 90% of the snow gone. Hopefully it will hold off just for tommorrow!

See you there about 11'ish as I am being dragged round DFS early to try and catch a late sale bargain...

[mutterstohimselfaboutwomenandshopping]

AND I am only able to come down in...wait for it:
A ROVER 200! Doh.

Clive, where exactly is it? l know Junction 13 of the M25 but where from there? this is not an area l know. There was mention of a Royal Park. Where does that come into it? Confused.

Ultiman,

If you are coming round the M25, then Junction 13 must be the Staines turn off.

It`s a bit round the houses, but come off that junction, down to roundabout and you then double back on yourself as though going back up onto the M25 but stay in the left side, this road will sweep round to the left round a loop and down to another roundabout.

At this roundabout, take the A30 turn, 2nd exit. This is a straight road and at the end of it you have Marenellos on your right and then a roundabout. Stay A30 and go up the hill to a set of lights, go straight over, nice bit of road, road sweeps left, then right and then a straight which goes down hill, you will see the car park on your right, so if you get to the next set of lights, you`ve gone too far, which has a Beefeater on the right.

DON`T FORGET EVERYONE, THE CAR PARK IS £4 TO GET IN AND YOU NEED 4 X £1 COINS TO GET IN.

Royal Park is just given to it as it is still Royal Grounds, as you can walk through this park to the Copper Horse, which is then a straight mile to Windsor Castle and Virginia Water used to be the Queens gardens in days gone past.

Well that`s the history lesson over with.

See you all there tomorrow.

I was working on £4 so you got 50p left over for a
Mr Whippy!!

Saw from a post before it was £3.50 but stand corrected.

Ultiman, Marenellos are not open Sundays, but have a very good display outside any other day. Have taken my 5 year old down there before just to look around, before Xmas, had an F40 and F50 in there and they let my boy sit in and have pics taken, nice guys in there.

Good to see you all yesterday. At least l know where the PH meet is now, despite a detour to Saville Gardens.
Bubbles you are correct, Marenello showroom was impressive but it was gratifying to turn all heads as l drove by.
