We've got about six cars meeting at Washington Services at 0500 to travel down for this event. Anyone wishing to come down with us is more that welcome. Anyone who wishes to meet us on the way will need to get in touch so that we can make contact arrangements.

That's what I thought Jimmy. Apparently the guys want to stop off at Woodhall services for their breakfast. ------------- Current E30 325i, E36 M3 Evo, Previous E21 320/4, E9 3.0 CSA, E12 525, E30 320i, E28 528i, E34 535is, E30 318i, E28 525e, E30 325i Touring, E30 Baur 327i |

Come to think of it, its starting at 9 this year and not 10 so a
breakfast stop should put you about right provided none of you break
the speed limit!!

We certainly wouldn't break the speed limit, especially on a Sunday ------------- Current E30 325i, E36 M3 Evo, Previous E21 320/4, E9 3.0 CSA, E12 525, E30 320i, E28 528i, E34 535is, E30 318i, E28 525e, E30 325i Touring, E30 Baur 327i |

For those of you going to Donington, I will be having my usual accessories stand there. If anyone is wanting something specific, let me know and I'll see if I can bring it with me. Alternatively, I can bring items to the monthly meeting (assuming I actually make it as I seem to be so busy these days).
Check the BMW Shop out on the club website for the chrome tax disc holders with the club logo on the back. The club gets a donation for everyone sold

If you "only" give them a 2 hour head straight I'm sure you will catch them before Donington.

Someone up there must have been listening to me.... After years of twisting on about queuing at Donington to get parked, buy tickets, get fed, and getting served at the trade stalls and the bar, I got finally got my own way. No queues on Sunday - anywhere. For those who haven't heard, the event was badly supported, with an awful lot of spaces both inside and outside the exhibition hall. It will be interesting if A&S announce the attendance figures. I'll be most suprised if the event is repeated next year Did anyone from the NE go?

Hi lad's, Did get down, met Nick, Kevin, Rag,s plus a few others but did make one big mistake!! 
Mick and Craig, had you phone no.s In my diary at work, but some plonker did'nt put them in his mobile!!!!(they are now)
Mick, alway's wanted a M3 but at the time I had to drive from Darlington to Leeds ever day and did'nt fancy sitting on the left. Saw this in a garage just outside Leeds,that was 3 years ago, + lot's of bill's but I just love it.
Get the P*** taken out of me with some of the lad's in the Club (all in good humour ) , O.K I agree it has a 325 steering rack, but it's still fantastic to drive.
Will get up to the N.E meet (one day ) Wish it was this week, school hol's so Nicola is not at college!!!!!!!!!
P.S Thought the Show was a bit (not Club wise) thin on the ground ------------- Mark E30 M3 RHD!!! now sold !!! still crying!!!! E36 318 is in technoviolet, for sale Thank's for the photo Coasting, Flood's on tour!
