Clemo,

Shouldn't you be out getting slaughtered somewhere? :wink:

Hope the day goes well tomorrow,

Cheers

Clemo,

With you all the way. I don't think any of us here would intentionally set out to even 'rub others up the wrong way'. I thought the massed arrival was a great idea, well organised and executed. It raised the profile and provided a spectacle all as intended.

Far more importantly, all the very best for tomorrow, I sincerely hope the whole day goes well, put as many ribbons as you like on the BRG NA! (just finalising things with the bank) looks as though the weather will have some clear and sunny patches.

Can't help laughing at this, imagining a group of Elise owners mincing* up the drive way...


*not that there's anything wrong with that.

I'm starting to err towards the "if they get offended that's their hard luck" side of this debate.

Onwards and upwards!

Sy,

Yes, me too. Perhaps we should just blow kisses at the onlookers as we drive in.

Can't understand what all the fuss is about, after we all arrived & parked up there was still loads of empty parking spaces, so what is it thats pissed someone off ?.

Well, it was a little annoying that some people had let themselves in to the carpark early so we had to park at the back rather than the front.

however we didnt stop others from parking, and the general consensus seemed to be that it was great to see so many M100's together, and that we'd managed to convoy in and get them in colour groups.

Well it is closer to Norway than California is to Donington.

I figure if you are in Tony's Elan then you don't have to know where it is or how much. And I'd bet there'd be some volunteers to let you share the Elan to the show otherwise . . . :wink:

It's dirt cheap to get into--no worries on that; and if you don't have an Elan yet by then you won't have to spend any money on parts/etc. :-D

Thank you very much, Nige, that helped a lot :D. Don't think I can get a direct flight there from here though. I guess the easiest would be by plane to London. Anyone know how long the drive would be? I'm just trying to decide if it's worth it or not :lol:

Thanx, Sy.

Forgot.. I have one more question (for now..) How long in advance would I need to make up my mind if I'd go or not? It would have to be squeezed in between studies and into the piggie bank :P

Well, if flights in and out of Norway are like the UK, it's generally best to book earlier rather than later.

The cheapest and most relaxing way up from Heathrow is by the Heathrow-East Midlands connecting coach service. Doug used it last year.
