Thanks, Ian. Sad times, James.

Waiting to hear from Jo if she's managed to keep any of the gears in the RX-4 after they all quit a couple of times at Japshow :roll: . I'll add her provisionally.

I'm going to get there early..... last year the queues to get onto the show field soon built up..... we had about a 20-30 min wait but this year I'm going a bit earlier... I'd rather get in there then have a cup of tea waiting for everyone else to arrive than be stuck in the lane waiting to get in. If you've got a stand pass you can get in at 8.00am so I'll be there for then.

You pulled in just after me didn't you, Ian? I didn't think the wait was tooo bad. But then again I was stressing over my car overheating, dodgy clutch hydraulics, handbrake not holding and learning to drive! :lol: . So time may of gone quick for me aye hahaha. Although I think I'll try and get there pretty early this year and relax for a bit first. I got a bit excited and didn't get to chat as much as I woulda liked :(


Dibs. There is a Premier Inn in Worcester if that is what you're after? I'd think plenty of smaller B&B's also. Don't know any off the top of my head though. If it comes down to it, I'm sure we could find space at my place th:. That goes to everyone here 0-0

Hobbawobba, thanks for the offer, how far are you from RR as I was hoping to get there as Ian says at about 8am, or do you know of any pubs that have rooms near you or close by ?
