Yeah would be useful as discount on entry is down to numbers through the door, not number of Cavs in the car park!

The CD is a late addition totally unplanned so following the Colorados billing trip thats gone in the garage and the Cd pressed in to use. Its only done 52000 miles against the colorados 118,00 so i thought i would enjoy some CD comfort!

Looks gorgeous.

I might bring my 1990 CD along instead and stand them next to each other. :D

Probably needs a good run anyway.

Hi all, a quick update. I spoke to the museum this morning who are looking forward to seeing us, and they have said they will reduce the entry fee to £6 for adults (instead of the usual £7.50) which is a bonus. I guess if we are inundated with interested parties over the coming week or so that might drop further, but they are a private enterprise and the money gets put straight into the upkeep of the place so £6 seemed fair enough to me.

Onwards and upwards! Should be a good trip! Because of the distances involved for some (Paul, James etc) I suggested it would be lunchtime-ish that we descend upon the place, and as per my earlier message I suggest we meet at the A1 services at Baldock and then head down in a convoy.

Let me know if you have other ideas.

Dan

I'll try to. But it's allot of petrol and we've been a bit financially challenged this month what with my LS and buying the new CD as so on.

Would there be any interest in me bringing my Tech 1 kit down to this event, and giving any car that is in need a good shake down/fault code readout/clear etc? For a small fee, of course! 8-) :lol:
