Looks like you might need a transit van to get that lot home.....

If somebody's taking a van down, can they pick me up a new s2 cooling system?

Any more ideas about the route down. Was thinking about a lite pre-run social event that we could spend some time looking at possible routes.

Whatever way we go, I would like to get it programmed into the tomtom well in advance and be able to spend a bit of time stdying it so I don't end up getting half of us lost like last time.

Fancy a get together for a few hours Campbell.

A fine idea. One weekday evening somewhere halfway between our two humble abodes maybe? From memory you are somewhere in deepest Fife...so Rail Bridge bar/restaurant in S Queensferry has potential, or something similar just north of the falling down bridge...

This week is probably out for me now with other commitments, but make some suggestions if you like.

Other budding route planners/spoilers also welcome of course

Perfect, we can plan it in for when I get back... (offshore tomorrow for two weeks, get home on the 14th)

I was on Exiges.com the other day and saw that a few of them were going to a BAT trackday at Donington on 27th February. It is a rare unsilenced day so no restrictions. I cannot justify the £215 expense with going in March as well, but it would have been a good chance to check that I could meet the 98db drive by limit that we will have then.

However Jonny Leroux is giving me a free place, and Pesky has offered to put me up in Bolton on the way down and back, so as it is just petrol, I will go ahead.

Only drawback is that I will be going down on my own, so will be all lonely.

It's a weekday so I'll be working, or I'd have popped down to say 'Hi' (read steal pax laps).

Thats right Campbell, but somebody has to do it. All in the interest of db's of course.

Shame Graeme, bloody sight more close to you than KH.

Kenny, would that I could, and I would, but I can't.

Andy, twill not be the same without you, but our day will come.
