I have sent an e-mail to the organisers of this event on 7th March 2010 said we would be approx.ten cars and would if needed fit in with any other Porsche club.

Cheers for that Dave, really looking forward to this one Donington Icon_biggrin

Nice work Dave. I'll sit at the side in the Beemer/Golf/Focus and watch! Donington 52658

by **Mav666** Fri 19 Feb 2010, 09:16

Nowt wrong with the Beemer, rather you came in that or the Golf rather than the Focus!!!!

by **tux** Fri 19 Feb 2010, 09:18

You haven't seen the Beemer yet! Donington 52658

Can't be any worse than ~~Marlon~~ Merlin Donington Icon_razz

You using it to drive upto Edinburgh?? (should be home all day if you still fancy a cuppa, and we're less than 2 miles off the A1)

by **tux** Fri 19 Feb 2010, 09:23

Nah, will be in the Goof as its 1/4 the price to run!! Free petrol from work anyway. TBH Paul it looks like I will be in Edinburgh until 6 or 7 so it will prob be getting too late by the time I'm on the way home.
Appreciate the hospitality though. Donington Icon_cool

by **Mav666** Fri 19 Feb 2010, 09:28

No probs, always the next time, I'll be on my way to Sat.'s gig by then

by **tux** Fri 19 Feb 2010, 09:29

Where at? What do you play? Tell us more!

by **Mav666** Fri 19 Feb 2010, 09:36

Thought you all knew!

For the most part of 20 years I was a full time pro musician, took time out to manage a pub and do a few freelance IT jobs.

Now work for HP on a government contract within the MOD, but still do 1 or 2 gigs a week in the NE/Yorkshire area.
Slowly pulling back on the amount I do, trying to get it down to the corporate stuff and the odd venue I actually enjoy playing at Donington 52658

Saturday isn't one of those!! but it is only 12 miles up the road, saying that straight out of work tomorrow night and directly to a gig at another place I'd rather not be at!!
Mmm and the same again Sunday, thats even worse though its in Middlesbro' !!

Smoggieland! Take a bat! Donington 52658

by **Mav666** Fri 19 Feb 2010, 09:49

Not happy about it, will be going in the Porka as well (no other car at the minute, although I am giving serious thought to cancelling)

Bloody hell just checked my diary and I've got a hotel gig on Tuesday as well Donington Icon_eek

Thats a nice one up near Hexham though Donington Icon_biggrin

My team leader leader is from Boro' and supports em' to. Thought you were all one of the same Donington 52658

OOH! You're dicing with death there Gareth! Donington Icon_eek

Never ever call a Geordie anything other than a Geordie. Likewise Smoggie's and Maccam's take great offence to being confused.

Its even worse than calling Rob a Brummie is that! Donington 52658

What Tux says is very true

Just arrived in Edinburgh after 11 hours and 579 miles in the car! Managed to fit 4 hours on site in as well. What a day. Glad its over now.

I think I may retreat to the bar for a beer later, I think I've earned it.

by **Mav666** Sat 20 Feb 2010, 12:00

Snowing like a good un down here hope its not to bad up there for you tomorrow

by **tux** Sat 20 Feb 2010, 21:41

Not a flake to be seen I'm pleased to report. Slightly frosty this morning, but other than that a sunny winters day. Donington Icon_smile

by **saturn800** Sat 20 Feb 2010, 22:10

Re: Donington they have requested that all clubs are at the circuit before 0800 hrs so it looks like an early start for some. clown

by **Mav666** Sat 20 Feb 2010, 23:25

Oh thats early!!

Have to find out where I'm working on the Sat. night, might just be easier to drive down after the gig and look for a 24 hr MaccyD's Donington 52658

by **tux** Sat 20 Feb 2010, 23:27

Not a problem for me!!! Donington 433680

Might I suggest meeting at Donington Park Services on J23a of the M1/A42 split. Loads of room for everyone to meet.

by **Mav666** Sat 20 Feb 2010, 23:28

Sounds like a good idea, does it have a McDonalds Donington 52658

by **tux** Sat 20 Feb 2010, 23:30

No McDonalds I'm afraid Donington 52658

but it does have some form of SkippyBurger joint. Doubt it would be open at 8 am though.

by **calisfar** Sun 21 Feb 2010, 02:05

Kangaroo burgers my favorite. Donington 52658

(and yes I know it was really a wallby)

by **Mav666** Sun 21 Feb 2010, 11:55

Ah well, so long as there's a shower then looks like I'll be driving through the night Donington Icon_eek
