[Tim Leech]

WTF is taxed, fuelled and ready to go! just need to dress the tyres and give it a vacuum and its all ready!

[Des Smith]

I'm a definite for this!

[Rich]

One member of this forum is rather closely acquainted with the collection so I hope he can make it!

Ian... If you mean Charlie I'm seeing him tonight.... I'll let him know about this.

... and I'll have a look on the Calendar when I get home to see if I'm free.

Grrrr! I've just found out I'm going to have be somewhere cold and boring on this date. Not happy...

[Tim Leech]

Damn! Subframes loaded up ready!

[Vanny]

If anyone is concerned about the weather/snow for this event, then assuming you travel most of the route by motorway, then you'll have no problem getting to the gates of the museum, and the internal roads are normally cleared by a Defender with a snow plough. I'm not sure if they clear the whole car park though.

If i happen down that way i might go and investigate the car park

[Dollywobbler]

Not sure which route I'll take yet. Mainly motorway is a massive detour. Will probably go A44 to Worcester, then cross-country so a heads-up about conditions will be handy nearer the time. I'll be in the TXD as the Green Tiger lacks winter tyres and needs a caliper.

If anyone does have a bonnet catch, I'd be delighted to take it off your hands.

[Tim Leech]

Ill be there, but you know me if its snowing I will be in a Golf....

[mat_fenwick]

...because it copes much better with snowy conditions?

[Vanny]

Not judging by the multitude of Golfs we have here. Though they walk all over the BMW's!


If its a choice of which car to have damaged by a plum, company v's bx, I'd go for company!

Indeed! I dont pay for it if someone smacks into me.

You'll have to park in the naughty corner though.

[Tim Leech]

Thats ok, but if the roads are dry I will be in the TRS.

Probably with me! (Focus or Disco if I can make it).

[mds141]

XM for me. As it is a 'proper' Citroën, with wet suspension, am in the naughty corner as well?!
