I'm only 5 - 10 mins from Beaulieu, so I'll probably see you lot between the A326 and Beaulieu.....

I'm going though. Be rude not to! I go every year for the fireworks, so it'll be twice this year :lol:
So then we all need to meet up before going in, yes? Are we all game for meeting at fleet services M3 and then the services between J3 and J4 on the M27? If you're meeting at 8am at fleet, then about 9am at M27 services?

I'm aiming to have the GT roadworthy and mechanically good for this show, and then nearing perfection for the ICCCR.
Yeah I can pitch in at Rownhams or Ower services. Either or!

Where's Rownhams and Ower services Kitch, assuming they're M27 ones?

Sounds like there is going to be a convoy from Fleet services (M3) at around 9am, so meeting at M27 services at around 10 and then 20 mins or so to the venue?

Weekdays are sorted by holiday forms, weekends arent as we have to have a senior member of sales staff in either day, and that means me or the other salesman who doesnt need wet nursing. Sadly he's incredibly selfish, a womanising lethario with not many morals, who thinks my car show needs are far less important than his and the bird hes seeing that week!
