The car is ready

, bug splatered after a welsh shakedown blast, sounding glorious, fuel tank is topped off, Sat nav primed, so it's PMJT towers or bust

now if I can just get out of london..................

I'm meeting new DDK'er 'Sue O' on on route to pmjt towers tomorrow afternoon.

If any of the Southerners have a route and rough times PM me as we may be able to hook up somewhere - if not see you all there!

Safe journey guys! Due to a heavy workload I'm now going to do the whole trip on Friday. I figured a stupid O'clock start and a long lunch to break the journey up should get me there in one piece.

See you at Biggar, I'll be the guy at the gate trying to convice them I'm with the DDK crew but in a Ford Focus

Im going to try and pop by and say hello either at Biggar or the castle on Saturday. Still humming and ho-ing as to whether I risk the jaunt in the 14 or just come along in my daily driver.

Defianty, consider yourself lucky, you at least have seats with some padding. Last non stop trip I did in a car was in my Tiger lotus 7 replica, Tillet go-cart seats, no weather gear, from Southampton to Glasgow in just under 7 hours. My backside still has flashbacks.

Thanks so much for the kind words but really need to be around for the new owner to collect the car and the shippers are due to pick up the 'new project'

in the next couple of days, so need to be by the phone and e-mail and so on.

Have a great trip.

Phil,
As per pm we will be driving up via Cumbria so unfortunately we'll miss out on the evening at your place.

Safe driving all - see you you all north of the border tomorrow.

Right everyone - let's get Bootsy when he's not suspecting it, then pilfer all the stickers and split them amongst us
