As per original post, the route will not be revealed until I see you at the Little Chef. CW did make a valid point!!

I forgot to say that there will be a 95dB noise limit in operation on the day!

Jonto, perhaps the centre section will unleash your power? If not there will be a special job for you on the day.

Jonto, I can lend you my spare wheels, but only if I can have the 4 pots?

How bad are they? will they need filling? My fronts need touching up now, the brake dust from Donno set so solid I had to scrape it off with a piece of wood / scouring pad!! Perhaps we should arrange a wheel painting mini-meet?

It is an interesting mod to make after detuning the engine, to enhance the chassis dynamics with a kerb! Back of the net!!

Goob - won't need filling, but will need sanding down and repainting, the contact with the kerb beleive it or not was where the wieghts were on the outside of the wheel, so they saved it !

The route has now been tested, directions and timing sorted,etc.

The route is better than I remember it - think '15 mile WRC tarmac stages' and you are there, well part there!

Can I have confirmations of who will be attending so that I can copy the right number of maps.

Gareth

Jonto, don't start making wild claims for your car, that 200ps will have to be checked on a rr, noise and power don't always go together!!

What has happened to the bunny, is it too big for the hutch, or has it copped it?

Everything is sorted then and as I said before:

'Route details to be handed out on day. Meet at the Little Chef, just off the A34 / A500 roundabout towards Talke, at 9.00am Sun 26th Jan. Will be returning late afternoon.'

This will also include a briefing on the use of the radios! Dean/Jonto, I'm sorry to say we don't need yours, but bring them along if you don't want to feel left out!

See you all there, others still welcome if thinking whether to come or not.

Yes, Good idea Jonto, But i think we will have to inrease the thickness of the String this time as you were breaking up @ long distance
