Gents - regarding the brunch BBQ next Saturday.

I'm going to have to cancel it.

My Aunty, who has been suffering with MND, passed away at the weekend, and the funeral is in Glasgow next Saturday at 11.30am.

I'll be heading to that, and then making my way south, so apologies, and will catch you all at some stage in the south.

No probs mate, sorry to hear it.

I'll be at MMC on the Saturday morning so suggest the rest of us now meet up and set off from there. I mentioned before that Craig Moncrieff had kindly offered that anyone else going on the trip is welcome to a free check over before departure (best give him a call to confirm if you want a check).

Not sure what time suits but maybe aim to leave at 1100?

I'll be driving down Craig - leaving Newburgh 7ish if you want to convoy (would mean mooching around MMC with me for a couple of hours). I'm sure Graeme won't have many Evora test drives booked for 9am on a Saturday... :wink:

Which way are you heading down ?
I am popping in to see my folks on the way, so may tag along as far as Birmingham.
Up early on Sunday to catch the ferry.

Installed yesterday: new tyres front and rear, R888's, they should be alright for a week of fun :thumbsup Yep they should, as we're not passing Mount Ventoux this year and I drive like a twat anyway. :D

So I though I'll let you guys know, that I've taken this option. cheers Ed, I feel sorry you can't be there.

Joing me from Holland will be Herman with his modified VXT. BigD might remember the chap that crashed his car at Zandvoort on a "driving fun" trackday. He's been modifying since.http://www.speedsterclub.nl/phpBB2/view ... &start=555 :shock:

can we go now?

Will play it by ear, either A68, A1/M1 or across to Moffat and down. Either way OK for Birmingham. :thumbsup
