yeah come down friday night if you want - i'll be there from about.. 10ish onwards, so plenty of capacity for a sneaky pint/curry on the friday

just got back from holland with siddy. Jack is a living legend, honestly... more to come

by the way - coming to mine - driving direction programs tend to take you through the middle of exeter. don't take this route - its crap. coming down the M5 (which i'd imagine you all are) stay on the m5 until you get to a turning for the a30 (this is AFTER the services - the a30 before the services is going the wrong way) - the road pretty much splits - 2 lanes go a30 towards oakhampton, 2 lanes are a38 to plymouth. just after this - i think the next turning on the left - is signposted a377 towards crediton, take this road. it winds thru the outskirts of exeter for a bit, then crosses the river and gets pretty rural (follow signs to crediton the whole time) - when you get to crediton the road will be narrow for a bit coming up a hill - only just wide enough for 2 cars (so be careful) - after this you come onto the high street - searle street is just by the bit clock/tourist information place on the right - belmont house is at the top of searle street, on the left. there are a couple of speed cameras on the bits through towns/villages, so keep to the limit..

if you get lost or owt, give me a shout on 07740646589 - i'll try and guide you in

It couldn't be easier for my first trip in UK on the WRONG side of the road Thanks! lol

pff. try driving in a foreign country on a left-hand drive car, for hte first time, with a gearbox that lets you select reverse without trying to..

cheers

James

While I'm at it, if anyone wants to call me for directions, I know the route well. PM me if you want my number in advance.

As a rule of thumb, follow signs for Crediton and you can't go wrong.

cheers

James

What time are you planning to start on Saturday? I don't want to miss anything.

don't know really. i guess sometime in the morning, but there'll probably be a fair bit of faffing/boring stuff going on before anything good kicks in

Ahh good stuff Hugh! If it's ok, I'll be along Friday night sometime, as I've some business to attend to on route, so I'd imagine sometime around 10 is spot on!
Pete

Yeah, I'm coming along for a laugh... I'll prolly be asleep though, leaving here at 4am (which is 11:30pm thurs night to you guys) and getting into Heathrow at 1:30 ish. So, 28.5 hour day for me... Wish I could bring Fake, but she's on the island, and theres no way I'm gonna try and fit that in. Plus, I've just driven nearly 7,000 miles... and I'm not sure rwd is good for me when tired after the City...

Mac, I know its too late for the meet, but how much for the Cibies? And Nick says the same for the redline wheels.

Hello
Love to meet up.
Bring my trusty socket set and mallet!
Regards
Will
