Yes, I'd kept it pretty quiet so as not to adversely affect turnout! :lol:
Hopefully now it's too late for everyone to cancel.

It would normally be a bit out of range for me, but I have a couple of mad cow parts to get from DaveTEA, and I'm experimenting with the fuel efficiency of my new chip.

At a rough guess it's going to be A52 then A1 for me. I'm more bothered about simply finding the place (before everyone buggers off) than having a spirited cross-country run.

Since he works for Red Bull racing, I presume it is something to do with putting the body together.

Let's hope he doesn't work on the gear boxes :shock:

We will be in 1 car tomorrow. Not sure which yet though. Oooh the choice!

Is SBK coming ?

Well lets hope it ain't the :gray: mg one !, although if the sun is shining, you will probably have a 70's Hawaii 50 shirt on as well :lol:
Believe Elvis will be gracing us with his presence.
Neil, depending what time your coming , we could meet up at Stamford ( A1 roadbridge ), then i can take you to our little hideaway ?, i would normally be there somewhere between 6.30 & 7pm, if thats any good ?

According to Autoroute if I go direct from work (which is just opposite Nottingham Uni) then it will still take me about 1 1/2 hours, but the route is much more cross-country, via Melton Mowbray, Oakham and by Rutland Water. That's about where you are isn't it Paul?
Could you PM me your mobile number? Then I can give you a yell when I'm approaching Oakham and arrange to meet by Rutland Water or something.
