Carlisle on the M74 and we will make this the first stop at approx 9:45 am.The fuel is cheaper

here than any of the Services on the M6 and we should all fuel up.Leave here at 10:15am approx

1:45 approx and join the M6 to junction 11a when we take the M6 Toll Road (cash needed).

get to Corley Services at around 3:00pm,this'll be the last stop before Northampton.Leave

Corley Services 3:15pm and arrive Billing approx 4:40pm...first beer opened at 5:00pm.

I have one puncture two years ago and thats it, tagged for life for having punctures!

I, like last year, intend on taking a proper wheel as a spare with a good tyre.

I'm well looking forward to this though, last day at work tomorrow then I have 5 days to get the car sorted for the show.

Its now rust free and painted, its nicely slammed, just need to get new tyres all round and my exhaust on.

Also going to try and get it RR'd before the show too.

I've got 2 days more of work. Monday the Touran is going for coilovers, shorter droplinks so I can go lower than 50mm down. Wheels are here along with a brand new set of debt-enhancing centre caps from the main dealers (dont even ask! I had to get a car chassis number before I could buy them from the dealers!!!!) Tyres should give a little stretch. Engine is getting a decent service too. Remap upto 140bhp is being done on Wednesday evening. Car is being wash/polished and hoovered out during the day on Wednesday. Pack up after the remap gets done. Everything will be ready to just load in the boot! :) Cant wait

Be good to catch up with you Jake...we'll have a cold beer waitng on you mate.

There a fancy dress theme night on the saturday night now folks...Toby,you'll

be okay as i know you're taking your little black number with you again...me

i think it's the Mexican outfit i'll be wearing...

Got mine printed for the Touran!

What are we doing on the way home on Monday? Ross has suggested the Haynes museum?? Or there is the car museum at Coventry which is actually a few miles further south??

I'm taking the dog so i won't be visiting anywhere...straight up the road for me i'm afraid.

That sucks a bit! :( You can take the dog in the Museum! :) ??

Scratch that - i've just found the Haynes museum and its miles south!
