Just taken out comp breakdown cover for the week on the car
It might get driven daily, but never more than about 30 miles from home.
So just playing safe.....

and it's pooped so I'll be trailoring it up there just for the pics

Just wondering what time in the morning this will start? Im trying to see if I can set off that morning but it's a 5 and a half hour drive without a toilet break lol!

It doesn't open till 10:00 as its a Sunday and trading laws come into account.
So I assume a 10:00 meet at the place
I'm convoying down the M4 with Dan and we are setting off at 7:00 and taking it easy.
We can stop for coffee intake or discharge en-route.

[lisafrp]

Signing on will be at 10am at Duxford Conference Centre. We've pretty much finalized the times now, so will post up by the weekend

I'll be glad when it's over so I can get my life back lol! Lucky you don't have to pay for individual emails as it would have cost £1,000's!!

Just spotted the DVD/CD order form bit does that mean somebody is filming the day Lisa ?. Was going to bring my camera but if somebody is filming and we can order a copy after thats even better .

[W4FRP]

Anybody coming down the A1 on the day. I will be joining at Newark if anyone wants to meet up and drive down in convoy ?

Cheers

Andy

I might be, Ill be getting on the A1 at scotch corner, where were you thinking of meeting?
And what time?
Does it matter if we're not there at 10am??
Claire

[W4FRP]

There is a Downtown shopping site about 12 miles south of Newark at Gonerby Moor which is just north of Grantham. There are the usual services there like Burger King and Costa.

If we wanted to get to Duxford for 10am then we should be leaving the services by 9am. It is around 75 miles away from Duxford and there are speed cameras on the A1 and A14 so we will not be able to make up much time along the way !

Andy

And I have about 5 hours to go before there haha!
Claire

[W4FRP]

We went to Newquay a couple of weeks ago and set off at 2am to get there by breakfast - it makes it a really long day.

Wouldn't it be worth travelling on Saturday and staying over ?

I'll be heading down A1 Andy, but I'm leaving here for 7.30 ish, as satnav says 2 hours 10mins, and I want to be there for 9.45 ish. I'll text you when I leave I want to take it steady, dont want any brake dust on wheels hehehe

we're staying the night before, makes such a long day to drive there & back in the same day!
