Might be some light at the end of tunnel but it's shaping up to be a miserable week ahead. Not sure I'd make the noise limits at Zolder. They're strict and my car isn't. :(

:groupjump:

Yay! Fingers crossed for you!

At least if it is a crap week you have something to look forward to! :)

PS I know you end up in Chester quite frequently with work... Give me a bell/PM next time you do! :) I'm not far away thumbsup

Yeah, I did a spotted for you once on Tarvin Road, just approaching the big A51/A55 roundabout. Usually either stay at the Queen Hotel near the train station or the Ramada place at Christleton (where I spotted another VX once).

Oh mate, I'm trying everything in my power to get it sorted. My backup plan is to make a deliberate fcuk up over the weekend to show them the error of their ways and to convince them that a proper planned upgrade is the way ahead. Hell, it might well all die without my intervention anyway. :rolleyes:

It's looking pretty good now. Sh!t load of things to do (work and car) but I'm hopeful that all will be well. Can't do the convoy - at least not the first part - as I grabbed a room at a hotel near Maidstone for Saturday night. Neither Jo or I could be bothered with a crack of dawn departure from home. So will be fully rested and well stuffed on the breakfast buffet, come Sunday morning. :D

I would have done Fab but not sure you could have beaten 75% discount with my hotel rewards scheme card. If for any reason I can't make it, I'll only be £25 out of pocket. thumbsup

No worries mate, glad I could help, even if you used it on the wrong side. :D

It'll be fine as long as you don't try any 0-100mph drag races. Good time to learn heel and toeing as well, much kinder on the mounts. thumbsup
