Sy,

We'll either give you a ring or drop down the A38 tomorrow. We're not sure about Punky and there is possibly another Esprit from W-S-M. The latest itinerary is:

J21 M5 @ ~06:30
Michaelwood services @ ~07:15
Strensham @ ~07:45
Frinkley South @ ~08:15
J1 M42 @ ~08:45
Porridge Pot @ ~9:05

See you tomorrow.

Confirm I'll be at Stoneleigh tomorrow. See you there :) .

If I remember correctly The Porridge Pot is next to the Holiday Inn just off M40 J15? If so I'll aim to meet up there, but it will require an early start :shock: which might be a challenge.

Geoff

OK, we'll sit at Nick Whales' until we hear from you as to whether you're coming off at M5 Jct 4 or going straight onto the M42. Phone me as you pass Jct 5 (Droitwich) - 07810-xxxxxx.

Huge respect to the one and only Enright (used to be 13 of them :shock: ) for the late step in and providing the LEC stand today - excellent as always Neil :smt023

Respect to all the guys who manned the stand alongside Enners as well :smt038

Well done all of you - good day out as always.

Excellent effort Neil, thanks. We must make sure the burden is spread for Donington.

As usual a good day, nice to see some familiar faces and some new ones. The project list has grown a little longer after todays purchases :roll: .

Great day - thanks everyone.
I must echo the respect for Neil who (despite the dodgy trousers) managed to blag some space and set-up/man the stall.

Here's a picture of our RV - Nick Whale's forecourt has never looked so good!

same as above ..
well done to neil ...
nice to see the "usual suspects" and some new.

for donnnnnny can i sugest the name badges..
i was not a fan of this the 1st time round but when meeting so many people my brain go's into name overload...

as for stonleigh "parts" managed to get a great t cup and a
special A100 4 ORK. which i think i left on the stand..

i did enjoy my moment on the stand and i managed to sell neils car twice.
and also managed to get 2 new numbers for the super na register..

sorry to all those who i said " i will catch up with you i a bit" and then didn't...
hope to see you all at dony...


(would everyone please spell doni wrong as it helps our admin's stress managment programme)

chin chin
(with new cup)

is their an NA version of the cup?
