I shall indeed be there, and flying the flag for the XI gang. I've no idea if it'll be just me, but I hope at least one other can make it.

It’s ok, there’s so much bracing to the front of the chassis I don’t think it will ever bend. id be more concerned with the fit between the the microcar steering column and the BMC wheel boss. It turns out you can get dissimilar splines to fit if you use a large enough hammer.

Seeing as you're coming almost past my front door, I'll be loitering near Weedon on the A5, just after the Shell garage, from 9.20. The Dadford Road from Silverstone/Towcester is a fun route, but there are a couple of tricky corners that can catch you out.

Meet at The Whitworth Centre, Terrace Cafe, Dale Road North, Darley Dale, DE4 2EQ at 10am for breakfast. We will go for trot round the Peak District and end up somewhere suitable for lunch/cake. The Whitworth Centre is 2 miles down the A6 from McDonalds, Matlock. So go past your usual McDonalds onto the usual roundabout to go straight on signed A6 Bakewell as usual. In 2 miles at the pedestrian crossing traffic lights you will see the beautiful, old building that is the Whitworth Centre on your left. At the far end of that building turn left into it's car park. It's easy peasy. Parking is free if you use the cafe, you record your registration number at the till, so ignore the parking meter. There is plenty of outside seating that overlooks the park, that's where we will be, who is joining us?

Meeeee!!! Whoopee. Cake. Munch munch. Meeeee!!

@Rob Hunter Derby & Notts AO I'll rendezvous with you at meeting point 1 @ 08:30 ... along with any other stalkers and followers 🤣

Yes its @bioman

Sorry but Quinten wants them. Il let you know if anything changes though.

We have gone for the easy option, for a mere 33 British pounds we have booked a bed for the night at the Travelodge, Cherwell Valley on junction 10 of the M40. We will of course look after the bacon butties until you all get there 😛 mmmm

Registered - and it’s on my birthday. There had better be cake available…
