Rich is that the green man on the A45???

**Rich** 25/6/2011, 12:33 am

That's the one! I know it's a slight overshoot but only by a matter of yards... Laughing

Rich

**cejsmith** 25/6/2011, 12:50 am

I'll meet you all there then.

**Stu** 25/6/2011, 3:52 am

**Rich** 25/6/2011, 6:36 am

The Green Man is 1/4 mile south-west of Silverstone. See the map below:

Thank you Google!

When we go there on our little convoy, you'll need to be careful on the dual carriageway as the gap between the roads is quite small and we could end up sitting in the fast lane. There is a slip road so as long as we're cautious we'll be ok...

We should reach there about 9:30am but if we're a little late, hold on... We will be there!

This flamin' weather is a pain. I wanted to get my wheels clean tonight. I suppose I'll just have to get up even earlier in the morning...

See you there Rich,thanks for the info looks a little dodgy,do you need to do a u turn into pub?

Stu.

**Rich** 25/6/2011, 7:09 am

Not at all. It's a huge car park. Just hope it's not full of MGs!

Rich

**RSTrophy** 25/6/2011, 5:29 pm

The Milltek 3 will see you at 15a at about 9am Smile

**Rich** 25/6/2011, 5:31 pm

Stopped raining in Northampton at about 4am and everything is wet, but it's getting brighter and according to the forecast that should be the end of the wet stuff for the whole weekend with it getting warmer as well!

Better get the shammy out now! Laughing

Looks like I'm missing MG Live this year-I've got ANOTHER head gasket job on the go...

**Rich** 26/6/2011, 5:47 am

Well I have to say that this year's event was so much better than the last one I went to a couple of years ago. More traders again and the weather wasn't too bad at all. We hade a great run over and stopped off at the Green Man (no, it wasn't open!) to pick up the other members of our contingent. I think we all bought stuff and did pretty well although I ended up buying something I hadn't planned for just yet and not getting a couple of things I really wanted (back to eBay...). And one of us spent alot on their car... The evidence is in the photos...

Have a look HERE for moments from the day. Sorry I didn't take many but I was a little busy with negotiations!

I have some photo's from today but not sure how to put them on here to show you all? I am however on Facebook? Or if someone can tell me how to do it I will put them on here! thank you to the lovely new friends I met today Smile

**RSTrophy** 26/6/2011, 6:56 am

Nice pics Rich Smile

Thanks to everyone i met today, my first MG Live and proper convoy was great fun. I look forward to the next one cheers

**RSTrophy** 26/6/2011, 7:04 am

Cheryl, it was good to meet you and see how Aphrodite is coming along. I'm not the best person to help probably with regard to getting the photos on. I did it by clicking on the icon for hosting a picture, uploading the photo, and pasting the link it gives you into your forum posting. If you have a photobucket account it would probably be easier. Sorry i can't be more help Dunno!

**Rich** 26/6/2011, 7:09 am

... and as if by magic, Cheryl's pics can be found HERE!

Not bad pics there, hope you all had fun.

Im glad you said there was more there Rich as it has been going down hill year by year so it should take me abit longer to walk around tomorrow when I go Smile

Did you have much rain there as it was on and off all day till about 4 here so I couldn't wash the cars till after then.

**RSTrophy** 26/6/2011, 8:06 am

No rain Matt (don't know how we avoided it). Grey and overcast early on but the sun came out after lunch and some people went home with very red heads! Laughing

**Paula** 26/6/2011, 8:31 am

Unfortunately the autojumble won't be on today as that space is being used for the concourse event. Hope you have a great day and you've got the best weather of the weekend!
