Well, I'm about 3 hours away... so there's no way i can stay that late!!!
If some people are planning on getting there for 4-5pm I will turn up for a few hours...

So its an evening affair.... Depite protestations!
Okay, okay, I can work with that. its like this. I am helping my twins and their mum move house in Taunton on the saturday. If I can distract myself for the sunday day time I could take the scenic route home and see you boys in Stafford but...
I WILL BE IN A VAN!!!!
Now the main advantage here would be that I need to pick some stuff up from Harty who I think is coming to the meet.
Harty, is that okay with you, buddy!?

Having brought my Rendevous with Harty forward by 26 hours I am now able to attend ( with Loz Jnr!! ) in the Lex!
I will therefore ( for zee's benefit ) be getting the tyre cleaning stuff out! ( for after I have been dragged through the IMO top car wash! might even have the lad run a hoover over the seats....
See you fine upstanding chaps tomorrow!

[i]Okay mate no probs[/i]
Loz
June 15, 2003, 10:37 pm
Okay okay.... I cant do doughnuts in the dry without gravel... but at least I tried!
What a great meet. My Son wants to Adopt Harty's Lex and also found out how to use Zee's loud pedal. Boy did he make her howl!
Great meet as usual and I left ever more determined to bring a flying Jay cloth to the nexxt meet offering quarter mile runs for fun!
Bring on JAE. I must surely be sorted buy then.
Great to meet the TOCers and Chris's Mate who's name I can't remember but other than that a GREAT impression was left. As for the Stoke Sound off. Damn, can't believe I am thinking of taking my next project car there... but I think the rewards might be worth it.... I know you all saw what I saw and the phrase, "ripe for the picking!" springs to mind.
Thanks for a great meet, Chaps!

Loz had a good look at my back screen and see now what you were on about so autoglass are coming on wednesday to take the front/back screens out and the rear quarter panels,thanks.
It was a bit quieter driving back today without my sound car

but at least now you know what had planned to surprise you all with at JAE,at least there's next year and lots of meets in between
