Hi John that event sounds fantastic from what I heard at the group leaders meeting last week!

I am going out with my local TR register group on a Tulip rally through Cambridgeshire / Lincolnshire / Leicestershire - always a good event with a pub at the end!

i was going to take my car to the drive it day at battlesbridge. As it's only about 4 miles away it doesn't seem worth it, is anything definately planned for south east? seems like a perfectly timed excuse for a 2011 shakedown test!

Hi Rob / John and all

You are most welcome to come down to the Gunpowder Mills - looks like we are on for a great day!

Just hope we have ordered the weather.

Cheers

I'm going to drive the TR7 about once this road tax has arrived and if she behaves i'll see you all up waltham abbey. She did about 3000 miles last year so there shouldn't be too much to put right[B)]

Here in the US, though not well known, the 2nd Friday of each month is supposed to be "Drive your classic to work day". Funny thing about that is, anyone (like myself) who has classic insurance is not permitted to drive their car to work.[V] DOH!

Ian, What time is everyone meeting and does everyone meet there or is there a rendevous point and we all drive up in convoy?

Cheers,

Rob.
