So far theres:

Adamski
ME

Hmm, bike musuem you say? Any idea of admission prices (assume you are going in for a scout round?) and postcode please Ian?

The motorcycle museum is just off the M42 at the Brum airport junction.

At the moment it`s looking good. Anyone else fancy it? Convoy perhaps?
Tim, IF I make it I`ll bring the BX brochure thingys along with me.

Tim, i'll have another look IF i get chance on friday night.

Billy, i've no idea how much admission is to the bike museum. I'm not planning on going in. I went a few years back before the big fire.

Damn it, just the wrong weekend for me

Currently in the process of an immenent house move, any other time would have been spot on.

Have a good time all that can make it

90% certain I`ll be there. I`ll call you later or tomorrow morning and let you know Ian just in case there`s a change of plan either side.
Tim, if you pm me about 9.00 tonight and jog my memory I`ll root the BX book pack out and bring it with me.
If anyone else is interested the museum opens at 09.30 and admission prices are: Adults £6.95, pensioners (there must be loads on here

) & kids (4-15) £4.95, under fours go free.
Anyone else coming along?

Looks like the right place to me.

Well that was nice. Good to meet a few more people off the forum again. Ian your TXD is stunning, Cavmad I love the the twin lamp conversion on that estate. Your welcome to the Merc 190 anytime you want it. Youd be doing me a favour and you could make use of that auto box and gearstick etc to convert yours to auto. Im sure there are a lot of other parts that would be handy too. Plus its got good 195 tyres from a good manufacturer! Unfortunatey some opportunistic sod nicked two of the hubcaps though.
