Looking forward to another good drive ..

mjh93sa · 08-05-2012, 04:52 PM

Any more?

Hotel details etc to follow very, very shortly.

MEGA · 08-08-2012, 07:47 AM

Looking forward to them!

I hope we have enough confirmed interest to go ahead? As I'm looking forward to this!

seanblee · 08-08-2012, 07:50 AM

Ruth's coming too, so that's another one...

mjh93sa · 08-08-2012, 04:00 PM

I'll see if I can scare up any more and will double check. Having been on a tour where only 2 turned up it's only fair.

looking forward to it... currently in a 1.2 Golf as I'm travelling on business

MEGA · 08-17-2012, 03:12 AM

Re: PM

Hotel booked.

Yay!

It's all about the drive. We'll have a great time even if Ed has deserted us !!!

Dave

MEGA · 08-17-2012, 03:40 AM

Maybe confirm here when your booked?

ps. Expensive room. Guess due to so little notice. Boo!

Cost me 160 odd for the 2 nights!

Mega +1.

rogerxp · 08-17-2012, 04:22 AM

Have a good meet guys. I'll have just got back from sunny Cala D'or next Saturday so can't make it. Get plenty of piccies taken (and vid Matt).

seanblee · 08-17-2012, 04:42 AM

Also booked. Saved £10 on the first night by following the F&F link on MoneySavingExpert, but there was no discount on the second night

MEGA · 08-17-2012, 06:02 AM

I paid for a refundable rate this time for peace of mind which added £17 to the price but think I paid £80 and £93 (would have been 72 and 84 I think... )

Not deserted, just can't make this one

MEGA · 08-17-2012, 07:13 AM

ok, ok... "temporarily deserted".

MEGA · 08-20-2012, 03:26 AM

LOL is it just me and sean who've booked hotel then?

sean we'll have the time of our lives!

seanblee · 08-20-2012, 03:48 AM

Oh well, makes for a cheap round at the bar!

mjh93sa · 08-20-2012, 12:55 PM

I'll be there for the Friday, but as we're just around the corner from home on Saturday I'll leave you boys to it at some point.

MEGA · 08-20-2012, 01:08 PM

Lol I assume you're kidding?

Although... Sean...

mjh93sa · 08-20-2012, 01:20 PM

To confirm as well - Tour moved up to 1600

Map to Prodrive. Note that there are bollards on the turn in to the carpark (and a small cobble strip) that make it look like an unused road, but this is the one that you want.

Tours start from the heritage centre which is reached from the back of the building, just the other side of the hedge.

dxb335d · 08-20-2012, 03:04 PM

Matt why did your car take 3 months to build?

mjh93sa · 08-20-2012, 03:13 PM

It didn't - the JCW at the time had the bodykit added afterwards. But as the colour of mine was new they had no kits for the Clubbie. After long delays and not a lot of progress from MINI and BMW UK customer services I emailed the MD of MINI UK.

...things moved a little more quickly after that!

MEGA · 08-23-2012, 08:11 AM

Mate the tour starts at 16:00 right ? So what time we need to be there ? A bit earlier ?

seanblee · 08-23-2012, 09:24 AM

Dave, if it helps, I'm probably planning to leave Enfield at around 2pm...

MEGA · 08-23-2012, 11:04 AM

I'll leave 2:15 ish then I guess.
