I think markymarc posted this as well. I would love to come but it is on a weekday. Does the event extend to the weekend? Try to go the Retro Rides. A number of members will be there!

Well, I'm going to do my very best to be there - and hopefully in the 126 too, depending on gear oil change...!  :D

No, where is that?  Once you know me, you'll know I can get lost in a paper bag...!  ;D

D'oh, just read the main thread, like the big, bold one at the top... lol!  Gloucestershire??  Wow, don't think I can make that in either car, that's while I still have two and haven't fully committed to a 126-only driving life!

Oh, good heavens!  Just put it into Google maps... it's nearly bloody Wales!!! :o  It reckons it'll take me 3hrs and 19 mins - that's not counting for the 60mph max speed, the poorly gearbox, the noise and lack of stereo, and most importantly the random slalom across the country as I'll have no sat nav as there's no cig lighter to power it!  I might make it by the weekend after lol!  ;D ;D ;D

Sorry for the late reply!  ... been a mad week!

Well, I'm currently making plans to stick the car on axle stands for the forseeable as the gearbox needs to be dropped and sorted out... but the thought of making it out to the 8ball on Thurs... hmm, I'm sure it could make it there and back okay...

It would be so great to meet up (with the car as well!)!

What time are you thinking (hoping!) of getting there?
