    back nearer the time.

  8. Aye.

    I'm up for this.

    Google Earth reckons it's 164 miles from my house. I'll probably turn
    up in the middle of the night as I'll have to leave after work. But if
    the roads aint too bad and I get away quick from work, I could be there
    for about 10pm. Better borrow my flatmates sat-nav.

    Is there any way I can register online, or should I just phone?

    Nice one.

  12. Howdy!

    It's sorted.

    Of course "the mighty fiesta" will make it, I did 365 miles in it on
    saturday with no problems at all.

    See you all there!

    to make a decision.
