Stew if you need a hand with out just let me know as i'll be coming striaght there!!

Guest 22/5/2008, 7:47 pm

Cheers Paul. We should be all sorted, as I will have set most things up on the Saturday after the park is closed, and then will be there before the park opens on sunday morning to finish off. OxfordMG have all of the other duties covered, so should be sorted.

Lee, the Pride of Ownership is not going to be self judged, but have 3 judges. I have pointed out to them that they should take into consideration that cars parked in garages and not used don't really warrant winning POO!!!! So, tell Debs to enter!!! And make sure she emphasises that it is her main car and used daily!!! I'll help with polishing to make sure it's immaculate....

Any other particular requirments to enter this?? mine after all is my daily car too!!

Guest 22/5/2008, 9:15 pm

Nope, I think it is £2 to enter. And once you arrive you'll find details about where to go.

I believe I may be coming out to play - I've organised to get the train back from that Up North place on Sat morning.

I will bring my hacksaw in case anyone is feeling helpful - I have achieved looseness by means of wd 40, kicking and swearing- it's only the red plastic bit that is preventing me from achieiving a working spare wheel!

**Rich** 29/5/2008, 4:22 am

I've just updated the first post with convoy details (Meeting points, times, etc.). Please note (Lee!) that the Coffee Pot is a rolling waypoint. In other words, stay in your car so we don't have to wait...

Marcus, I've added you to the Coffee Pot Waypoint as it's probably easier for you to get to. Click here for the location. It's great you want to join us on the convoy after looking at where you coming from on the map, but of course you're more than welcome and we're looking forward to seeing you! If you would prefer meeting us at the Toby, click here for a map...

Rich

**Stu** 29/5/2008, 7:27 am

No prob,I know the coffee pot now, how long do you reckon it will take us Rich and what's the route plan Question

Any stops on route?(thinking of the ladies obviously Laughing

) e.t.a?

Bringing my dad along for this one,as he's actually not racing this weekend....just hope the sun comes out sunny

so it's all the more enjoyable Very Happy

and he'll want to go again.

**Rich** 29/5/2008, 7:32 am

Going to go Buckingham Bicester way for a change. I don't think we'll need to stop as it's not actually as far as the previous Oxon trips. Should be there around 10:15 -10:30am. Stewart has it all worked out for us for when we get there...

Rich.

**Stu** 29/5/2008, 7:37 am

**M77XNE** 29/5/2008, 7:55 pm

Please Note: Ben gentle with Maxine as she will have a bit of a bad head in the morning as she is going to have a Sex in the City night with the girls on Saturday. We will be starting with Cocktails at 5pm and finishing off at a club - Yum Yum, they are having a 'Northern Soul Night' on. Should be a real good laugh, and a drunken one....so, please - be gentle!!

**Dark Knight** 30/5/2008, 7:48 am

where is rich again?

you all sorted then for sunday now?

Guest 30/5/2008, 7:56 am

yep, seem to be, got both gazebos and the banners and regalia all ready to take over on the Saturday, and got a small pile of regalia to bring along on the sunday. Spent some time today preparing the stickers for the cars that go out on the run. Think we are just about there now!

**Captain Jack** 30/5/2008, 8:14 am

that means, the southmid sticker will be the first exterior mod i have!! Laughing

good for an extra 10bhp im guessing?!?!

only ten!!!! mines made more difference than that!!!! Surprised

Easily, that's why my car has about 10 stickers on, and I reckon it's given me about an extra 100bhp!!! It's better than fitting a turbo or supercharger! Laughing

Rich will have the SMS stickers there, we will also have for sale the MGF Register stickers. However, the stickers I have been doing today are the windscreen stickers for the cars that go out on the run, and they are specifically for this event! You'll have to do the run to get one, OR if any are left over then they will be for sale. I already have one in my car and they look pretty good (altho I would say that seeing as I designed them!).
