Paul at Motormech needs a rough idea on how many people are going to his garage as he is going to do a few nibbles? The garage is across the road from the Bullring shopping centre.

Me for one, oh ! & my plus 1 so 'spose thats 2

Trev

Cosford for me Paul.

I'm in to visit the garage! But I'm good for what ever!!

We are going to the BullRing (apparently -I'm told )
Seriously, it will be good to visit Paul at Motormech and not worry about his bill
(Suspect the Bullring might cost more though!!)

I am in to see Paul

Yes be warned - the wife takes her revenge on any work on my LE by spending the same in the Bullring 200 metres away!!!........

I'm working that weekend so cannot attend but can reccomend both Paul and Cosford - was there last week with my lads and had a great (free!!) day out! Brilliant Museum...

Bob,

Will the Friday evening meal be timed to accommodate those who might be coming some distance after work on Friday evening?

Neil

It can be

I would welcome anyone giving suggestions of any eating establishment that is local to the Hotel. It might be an idea for us to make a tentative booking

How about 8 ish?

Bob

There is on of THESE just up the road.

8-ish should give time to check in and then get to wherever. Depends on the M6 to some extent, of course!

I am at the track beforehand but agree a late arrangement is probably a good idea!

curry curry curry curry beer beer beer beer

hmmm, this event is beginning to look up...

Hmmm... hands up all those who want to sit in a nice warm meeting room for a couple of hours after a night before of curry and beer?

i will bring my gas mask...

I will be joining the convoy, hard to beat a coupe convoy im working on friday and saturday so will just have to meet everyone early on the sunday? Anyone heading from cheshire/staffordshire way let me know and we can start a mini convoy?

Any idea what time you're leaving solihull for gaydon?

The gates open at 10.00 so probably about 9.30ish

What about the hotel itself ??

You couldnt eat a building Ronnie, Come on

Nice one

Lol

Need numbers for how many are going to Motormech as I need to let Paul know, thanks.

I'll go, even if it's to dump the car there and go off shopping

Well that went rather well didn't it.

Fantastic event at the track on the Friday, everyone getting lost on Saturday and a great day at Gaydon on Sunday.

Ok so the Hotel wasn't as plush as I had expected. But I suppose that I probably expect a little too much from a Hotel where we paid budget level prices. Bar prices were reasonable though and some of us made really good use of those

I suppose we will have to start planning Christmas / winter events now

Thanks Bob for organising it and to Pete for the Gaydon tickets and to everyone else who helped sort it

Was a good weekend

Crackin' day at Auto Italia, big turnout of coupes, counted at least 40, some STUNNING cars there, cool to chat to the Ferrari owners as well. A really nice bunch of coupe owners as always, unlike the recent '106 gti club members' meeting i went to with a few mates haha, chav central oh dear! Thanks to bob for organising and pete for the cheap tickets and 'sat nav tip'! i left early to go to a m8s bbq, had a nice flyby by 3 ferrari's and one maserati on the m6 heading the same way

Yes please do start planning those events!

I thought it was very good and extremely funny getting Mr Begbie plastered though seeing the bill today it was not a cheap exercise

Would of been really painful if the bar was pricey.
