I'd love to find a way, even if it's just for one of the days: seems a shame to miss it.
On the other hand, I really don't want to leave here having not finished Nigel's car, so that's what it all hangs on: still I've done about nine hours so far today, and just about to start the next shift

Stick it on a trailer and bring it along
A few beers, couple of hammers, and we'll all soon have it knocked into (a) shape
Good luck with it Barry

Good old DDK: I feel a bit silly for not thinking of that myself
.
On the other hand: we know what happens when drink and cars mix:

Hi,
if anyone with a reserved room at the Chainbridge hotel finds they need to cancel at short notice and can't make it, then let me know.
Would like to come along but as things stand 'There is no room at the Inn' as they say in the famous book.
Regards
Andrew

Andrew, I cancelled my room about 3 hours ago: when did you try them?
If it was before that, you might be in with a chance

does one have to book at the hotel for food or can we wing it, if we are blessed by a following wind (remember berts NOT in the car this time) and make it can we grab a couple of plates or would we be better chilling out and eating on the way?

Mike, give the Chainbridge a call and tell then whats happening. When you think about it, chances are that we would have only just ordered by the time you arrive given the numbers! I can text you the Menu

I'm not going to make this as many of the you know. Well Rich anyways
Car still off the road (getting close though) and a wedding party on the Saturday night make it a no go for me. Would have came in the daily (again) but I'm the best man at the wedding.
I've not canceled my room yet (Chainbridge). If anyone wants it please let me know and we can make arrangements.
I've spoken with Andrew and he has a room now. It appears the Chainbridge are filling the rooms with non DDKers so I thought I'd offer is here first.
Have fun guys, wish I was there.
