Hi team,
the weekend is creeping up and it's looking great!

Just a heads up we won't be having the usual BBQ. I dont have a mini transportable one. My plan is to find a nice bar or takeaways on the route and stop there. But by all means bring yourself some snacks and drinks if you prefer, or to be safe :D
Cheers

Sorry to have to miss this one but I need to be at the airport before 12pm so not really feasible for me to attend (no matter my driving style, lol).

Have fun guys :D

My AW has a knackered left rear shock and a stuffed muffler but the weather looks AWesome and damn I could do with a bit of a drive.

I could bring my BBQ. Want me to Paul?

If so you better let everyone know to bring sausages etc...

OK so this morning the window gear destroyed itself so I can't lock my AW. So let me know please if I should bring the BBQ, cos if lunch is in a pub etc I'll have to give it a miss. Cheers.

Ooh exciting!! Weather's looking fantastic!! :D :D

Charlie, I worry it might be getting a bit late notice to change the plan? I won't be able to pick up sausages on the way to Drury anyway. But I think bring the BBQ and let's see who brings BBQ food, perhaps wing it?
I'm sure even if we stop somewhere we can find a pozi outside in the sun close to the cars.
Certainly no excuse to completely flag what will be a mint run on a even minter day! :D

Just realised I dont have any MR2OC run stickers either. Can you bring some?

Shame you can't make it Ivor. But that flight probably is a bit early to enjoy much of the run. Next time!! :D

See you all bright and early in the morning!!!! :D :D

You know what I think you're right. Turns out we don't have any BBQ food here either! I won't worry about it Paul. Maybe next time...

Sorry I didn't pipe up earlier but haven't been too sure whether I can make it or not and didn't want to offer to bring the BBQ unless I felt I could actually commit. Anyway I should see you guys in the morning. Barring any further mishaps etc...
