Unfortunately I'm going to have to cry off this time, I'm a bit gutted to be honest I have so much work on at the moment I just don't have the time this weekend I got home at 1am last night after a rather long wasted trip to Pembroke Dock. I will try and make it if nothing turns up but I am not holding out much hope.#

Have a great time.

I'm staying at Kempsey, near Worcester tonight. Will be able to make the convoy meet at the services before hand. It is the services just south of J13 isn't it??

I am either going to fly round the motorway, or take a scenic route. Not sure.

Bell or text me before you all set off if I'm not there, might be 5 mins away 8)

07931271762.

See you all tomorrow. :D

Got as far as Cambridge and had to turn back :(

Car was only firing on 5 cylinders after the first 60 miles which was difficult as it was raining and slow in places, then the ABS light came on and that was enough for us to say some rude words and start nursing it home.

I am hoping that it just needs new HT leads rather than anything more mechanical, no idea on the Brakes yet.

Really miffed as I was looking forwards to this :(

Hope everyone else managed to get there with nothing untoward happening.

Roll on next year

I've also failed to make it. went out this morning and had a flat rear, so when to get the spare and that was flat as was the second spare so went to get one off one of the other rovers and could not find the locking key!!! something tells me I'm not meant to go this year.

went and got some tyre weld and found Hal fords were selling the professional socket sets at half price so got one.

both spares were leaking from around the rim, so 1/2 a tin of tyre weld each and inflate to 45 psi and leave them for a few hours and they are now sealed up ok.

Sorry I missed you all, I hope you had a lovely time. 8)
