Hehe very good. It's probably still a lot faster than my car ;)

I intend on bringing my camera and taking photos for the forum :) Are you bringing "all the gear" with you Andrew?

I know roughly what I'm doing I think... :P If you do decide to bring it I'm happy to wander and take some photos for you.

Just checked with Classic Oils on the Bicester site. They do plan to be open on Sunday and tell me they will be offering some show discounts. Building 96 ? The Lubricant Store.

I've collected the name tags this morning and will be in the E type shown on my address image Opalescant silver grey Etype - 145 BWR - I won't write them but will have pens ready for each to write their own name.

They simply state: The 'E' Type Forum with a space to write in your details.

I look forward to meeting you all...

One suggestion/request: How about a group photo with an index of the names of the attendees? I know that it would be a lot of trouble, but a photo of each of you with his/her car would be really cool!

(Unfortunately) I have to play at two St Georges Day parades on Sunday so cant make it. I should be home by 5pm so if there is a convoy heading south on the M40 after that, let me know and i can get some good shots looking down on the cutting as i live not far from J5.

Car cleaned and polished. Ready to go! Have a safe journey down tomorrow everyone. I'll keep an eye out for anyone on the run down the M40 in the morning.

have a safe journey. I am struggling to move a newish car which is behind the E type with a totally dead battery. Got it on trickle charge but its thrown up more error messages than I knew it had programmed. Only been off the conditioner for a week. Bloomin moderns. :(
