Is the drive down there going to be a pink shirt day?

 

No mate.

See you all Friday

Cheryl & Neil

 

Sorry chaps and chapets..

Been told that the old girl wont be out of the bodyshop till friday morning.

Should have been thursday..

So it looks like i'll be missing out on the convoy up there, and meeting you lot at the hotel in the afternoon...for refreshments and car washing..

 

Simon, what time are you looking at leaving. The reason i ask is that i have been asked to do a talk at a School Friday morning which kinda hampers me leaving early too (bloody fame !!)

So, if you are looking at leaving mid morning, we could have a mini Harlow convoy down there.

I've PMd you my mobile number if you wanted to discuss.

Steve

Well just got back after dropping darren off in croydon...

Just like to say a big thankyou to all who went and made darren feel very welcome..

What a weekend that was..

 

Fantastic weekend, enjoyed everything about it.

Apart from the little glitch on the journey there, (thanks to Ade and Ronnie for stopping and escorting the rest of the way )The car never missed a beat on the event, and it felt like it was all worth it yesterday for the first time.

Thanks to everyone for making Jen feel so welcome she loved her first ESC event, and has requested a pink T-shirt

There will be lots of pics and a few vids to follow, but I havent got the data cable for the camera here.
