Yep thought that you maybe
I'm still working on Mrs ESC , The 120 mile & route book don't go down to well as you know , it was bad enough on the country lanes in the scoob let alone in the very lively RS !!!Still the mention of a few bottles of wine & meal out on the Saturday maybe swinging her round
It just a shame that this years event will not be a 2 dayer , but Dave's promises me that next years event will definitely be along the lines of the previous men-cap rally tours , it just a shame that this is so far for a 1 day event , but head down on Saturday lunchtime & it starts to sound a little more enjoyable Most defiantly mate , believe me this event is write up your street believe me
**** being your navigator !! Think we need a little more discussion on this one , but feel that we must try & support Dave in this event

I know where there's a once-cherished now-forgotten Scoob you could take!
Would there be room for a 'newby' then in a Scooby, not a Classic, but much cherished!!
Oh, and what a fantastic cause!

"The Road book with full instructions will take your along your road of discovery."
Well it's meant to be a scenic "Steady Eddy" drive through the countryside taking in the views & cultural heritage.
Tiny's navigator may beg to differ.
Oh & we usually end up in a farm yard or two. The sheep end up more scared than we do though.

If I did I'd ****** your hand off, but unfortunately Ark has just put a hole in my savings by buying of all things a car ramp! 
You make it sound like I wear the trousers?!!
