Don't worry, they'll all be at Bentwaters.

Be good to see all the new guys too.
Handle every stressful situation like a dog. If you can't eat it or hump it, piss on it and walk away!

Where are we getting the tent from Russ, lets hope it is waterproof and has a decent mattress, have you made an alllowance for the weight for this round? probably good balast to keep the rear end from being to lively. As a thought I wonder if we could swing a night in Godwood House nice place and the guvenor is into motor sport but perhaps something a bit more exotic than sprinting H

181 miles in 6 hours is 30 mph mate. If you're going sprinting, you'll need to drive a little faster :)

Ok!
6 hours total drive, I did nt refer to it being a one way trip did i? :roll: ](*,)
I though 6 hours (there and back) was being optimistic, allowing for traffic and the obligatory wee stops etc.. :grin:
As for going faster on a sprint, i can only go as fast as brain and car will allow!- no you dont have to reply to that one! 8)

Thanks again for the help Gerry.
