15th August. Brands Hatch

[mayevora]

I'm leaving Bristol area around 6.30am. Anybody fancy meeting up on route?

[Barrykearley]

That would be good.... Count me in

[mayevora]

Pick a time and Motorway Services Barry.

[Barrykearley]

Think we will be hitting the m4 at Swindon. Will have a look at a plan later tonight...

[mayevora]

Ok. Probably looking like Membury Services at 6.45am ish. See what you think and let me know later Barry.

[Barrykearley]

What time have we got to be at the gate ?

Have you got the VIP hanger thing?

Mines in a line up - so will ask what time they want the car in place.

What's you driving now Ian?

[mayevora]

I think the gates open at either 8am or 8.30am. Yes VIP parking also. I have the medina green Elan as per avatar picture (as long as it passes MOT today at 9am)

[Dave Eds]

Well did it?

[mayevora]

It did Dave. So much work on it in the last 5 months. Feels like a new car.

Only got in 15 mins ago and it was sat on the drive waiting. Owned it 5 months and it gets its 1st drive since I bought it tomorrow morning - and its my Birthday and I've taken the day off - It's going to be a good one!

[Barrykearley]

Yippee - chuffed for you.

Might be going down to brands on Friday night now - will know for sure later this week - but I think it would be easier

Only got in 15 mins ago and it was sat on the drive waiting. Owned it 5 months and it gets its 1st drive since I bought it tomorrow morning - and its my Birthday and I've taken the day off - It's going to be a good one!

Hope to see it around sometime. Had my first drive around here on Sunday, upto Bideford, Barnstaple, Appledore. Nice drive and lots of thumbs up.

Just need to teach the locals that you don't always have to drive in the middle of the road !

[Dave Eds]

Happy Birthday Ian (I will be a year older too by Sunday!).

Glad it is now on the road - get that roof down while you can!

[MPx]

Great news Ian.  Hope I get the chance to have a good look around on Sunday if you'll still be there.    Convoy back?

[Barrykearley]

I'd sure be up for that back on the m4

[MPx]

We could start together Barry ... but I'm M3/A303 thereafter.

[mayevora]

I'm up and back on the Saturday unfortunately Mike. Work does have a habit of spoiling my enjoyment as far as Sunday goes.
