I'm in East London E14 now!

If my Sprint is finished and MoT'd in time (which it should be) I will definitely be going :)

Hoping to attend this, would be great to be on the stand :)

Only potential fly in the ointment is a house move coming up, could be that weekend, fingers crossed its not!

OK, I'm going in the green Sprint as long as I can get a quick oil change in between now and then :jump4joy:
Ken, Howard, Martin, anyone else; Wanna meet up on the way? Possibly bringing Mrs.Sprintinbits and Baby Sprintinbits.
I'm near Stansted/Harlow (or Aarlow if you live there :wink: ) so M11 and cut across the lush countryside or a boring M25/M1 drone is a possibility

Interesting that Mrs. Sprintinbits seems amenable to transporting Baby Sprintinbits. Mrs. Miniman's view was pretty much "there's no way in hell you are putting my child in that heap of s##t". Which was nice. :mrgreen:

:woohoo: :woohoo:
I was transported everywhere in a Fiat 126 along with my two brothers as a small child.
It's only the other idiots on the road that make things dangerous. I have a bike licence and used to have a bike.
Getting a Dolly was easy when I said I'd get rid of the bike :wink:

Breakdown? Well yes, some do, some don't.
I've got breakdown cover, the company Focus broke down two weeks ago leaving me with a 2 hour wait before rescue.

When the Dolly breaks down (for the first time) the Mrs. WILL have something to complain about.

Until then....HAPPY DAYS!!

I'm hoping to be able to make it if I can get the Saturday night off work and if I can get the auto box swap done (and it works fine)

Can we have a show of hands from people that are comming to stoneleigh on the sunday and may be able to help out on the stand??

As always were not expecting you to stand there all day, just to lend a hand with whatever spare time you have so other people can shoot off for a look around!

At the moment there is only 5 of us confirmed for the sunday!!

Any helpers??
