Ps. I've just booked for Sunday night (Shagga they've still got rooms) :drink:

Very wise, what time do you want me to swing by on Sunday?
0730 be ok or later? Should give us an hour to get to South Mimms and 30 min fudge factor.

Just booked a room, they have 6 more left for Sunday night.

I won't know until Saturday evening if I can make it though, logistical nightmare!

Just a thought fellas - if any of you guys are gonna need to refuel by the time you get to Peterborough(?), Peterborough services has Shell so would be a chance to fill up with V-Power...

Although I think someone (IIRC Steve_C) posted a link to Shell stations up the A1 and from memory there were quite a few, so any of us that use V-Power shouldn't have any probs finding some when needed anyway...

2006 Sprint Blue RS4 Saloon (B7) - Sold but not forgotten

anyone want to pick us up along the route, estimate our passing based on those departure points ...

we're not making any stops are we ?
I'll pick you guys up around junction 14 (Alconbury) of the A1(M) at around 0940ish. I have a few of your mobile no's, so there should be no prob's if you are early or delayed...

Anybody bringing Walkie Talkies with them?
