Is that wise Steve, bearing in mind I can get most of the way to Bristol in about the same time it takes me to get to Barnstaple...?

I vote for somewhere near the M5. Any thoughts....I'm not to familiar with that part of the world!

cheers

I meant north in an end of the M5-wardly direction

Seemingly I've been told by Kate's parents theres a Karting place around, think Exeter was said. Don't think there is much else there though is there Fogs?

One of which needs rescueing (sp?!)! Good idea! Are you breaking Snowy for parts Hugh, or is it still in the hands of the insurers? I could supervise a part-picking session for you...I might have the drivers seat if its in good shape and you didn't stain it whilst approaching that lorry...

Hmm...we need a 340 B14 parts car really...you're down for this, right Chris

Teehee...

cheers

Mate, Nessy has half of Kar in it already

(well, ok, one pipe... that I cocked up an econ fitting too

) And no!

Actually, I think you'll find it was me that screwed that one up...

cheers

Yeah there is a kart place somewhere near Exeter I think, not sure what it's called though. There is a Sainsburys not far from Sandygate roundabout (right off M5) that has the back half always deserted, not much 'ambience' though

There are plenty of restaurants etc in Exeter if people want to meet for a meal...

Sounds good, any idea of prices for karting mate??? Or any other spots to frequent?

its currently in the hands of the insurance - the car is exactly the same as when i applied the brakes and turned the engine off after the crash (6 and a half months ago). i plan to leave it like this until i get my mulah, then every part is up for grabs until it goes to the scrappers

Ok...well if you hear through before the meet...

cheers

Guys, Kate has found a leaflet... Steam Fair and Vintage Car Rally at Bishops Lydeard (anyone not a steam person, it's a station on the West Somerset Steam Railway line). Might be worth a look possibly? I'll post the leaflet in a bit

That weekend? I'd be up for that, although we'd probably have to hoon it there and back to compensate for the beardiness...

cheers
