Depending how reliable my Mk1 is, i'd be up for that.

Won't put my name down yet though as cambelt and timing are being done at end of March.

Are Mk1ers allowed?

If it says MR2 (or MR-S!) on the back, it's all good.

Plenty of time. Of course any MR2's are welcome. Don't forget the regular Essex Meets too.

Hi mate,

Cambelt being done on 2nd May. Will need to get MOT and TAX done.

Need to get some mileage on it before but possibly.

MOT shouldn't be a massive issue as it only failed last year on emissions and has been off the road for the last 11 months in a dry garage.

I've got 3 or possibly 6 bent valves.

So the head is off and I can't come.

I'm distraught

Norfolk Run is fast approaching. We have 23 attendees confirmed already.

Still waiting to hear from a few people.

We could probably accommodate another couple of people if there is any last minute interest.

Please PM me for details.

Only a few days to go for this. Weather forecast (fingers crossed) looks reasonable.

List updated. 27 attendees (22 cars) now confirmed:).

Any more stragglers? 5 haven't confirmed/replied to messages.
