(thread hijack:) Yes, I'm in for Sunday at Lookers - I'll be bringing the vario, as I'd like to have a proper look at it underneath using their ramps. Oliver is also coming in the 240. And I also have a small something to give you.

No, you haven't missed anything.

In typical Foggy style with 2 weeks to go nothings really been finalised yet.

To be fair to him though, he has had to spend the last 8 months swapping door locks and front struts on a v70r he was selling.....

I think I'm just going to have to drive around the moors for the two days and hope
I spot somebody.

Perhaps that's the idea - a mystery tour - no one knows if anybody else has found out where we are going to meet.

Let us examine the "facts" - what do we know so far???

I understand some people will meet at the A1(M) Wetherby Services on Saturday morning for an as yet undisclosed purpose. Accordingly Mrs.Mac and I are booked into the "Days Inn" at the services for the Fri.night.
We will "all" end up for an evening meal on Saturday evening - possibly in Whitby.
On Sunday we will meet somewhere along the NYM Railway - possibly @ Goathland.
(in the absence of more firm info we have booked into a "Premier" in Middlesborough to be relatively near wherever in the NY Moors.
I seem to be part of the V3M courier service and shall be carrying 4 wheels and possibly 3 sills for onward carriage to Dublin via Belfast which I HOPE Mark knows all about.
Hopefully Mark will also be driving around the moors at the same time as us and we can meet. (we'll be in a dark red 2012 XC70 Mark as the project is no where near finished.)
If anybody wants me to bring anything from the "bolt shop" please let me know.

If anyone ( like Foggy perhaps) has any more info perhaps they could share ?

Oh, Roo don't forget James also had those enormously lengthy wheel bearing and strut bearing changes for Coombe and he had all the extra time of not having to shop for the bits too. oh, and he also had to wait for me to send him a special tool that he already had - it all uses up valuable planning time.

There's no need to HOPE about that Mac, he knows :wink: (and he ain't getting his shiny tailgate strip if he doesn't :twisted: )

Spoke with the foggy last night -
He assures me that Sat. is set aside to finalise all things and he will make known his wisdom after then.

MAY WE ALL BE SURPRISED.
