Paul went down a storm with the wrinklies.

I'm looking at a pic of Chatsworth House- it's not one of your dad's properties, is it Carlos?

Who was the cheeky sod that parked their white van in the lineup?

I don't let any non-BMs get into any group shots at Donington (in fact I turn them away!), but I can't control any background vehicles in other locations, unfortunately. I was thinking of getting some road cones, perhaps! Viv |

I was thinking about B&Bs & restaurants in & around Bakewell for the night of the meet- anyone have any ideas?
Thanks. Viv |

At UK3 on the Sunday morning, we took a drive to BAKEWELL for that very reason. When we got there, we parked up, walked into a lovely coffee shop with home made food and cakes. Was there a BAKEWELL tart in sight? No there bloody wasn't!! To think I drove north to Bakewell for nothing... Was properly fooked off... |

Guys,
I wouldn't bother with Stratstone Derby as it's currently being renovated. It's hard enough parking your car there when it's in for service, so I wouldn't even try a meet there. I'll have a think of where's "do able" near to Donington/M1 J24 and let you know. I'll also mention this to the guy at work who's expecting his M3 on launch day.... see if he wants to turn up!

Nathan> Is stratstone derby the one with another stratstone dealership on the side with loads of different cars on the forecourt? Its a big dealership complex all in all if so with lots of industrial areas around?

needforspeed, I'd probably recommend driving 5 minutes further onto the A50 (M1 J24) as there is a shell garage/service station which would be a lot quieter and would offer much more free parking for all those photo's!
However, I've got my thinking cap on and I'll try to find somewhere that fits within a stones throw for the M1.

They might of finished the work by then but I do know that when I went in the other week it was a nightmare of shuffling cars!
