Yeah Yeah Yeah! [-X

Only joking Scott...No worries mate.

Be good to meet you at Duxford.
I planned a route. Once I've worked out start times of Duxford, I'll pm it to those going on the convoy...
I've planned a second meeting point at M11 services near Stansted.
This might work best for yourself and others.

Anyway, thanks to those who came to the meet...7 cars, but 10 people. :thumleft:

Double thanks to Alan and Tony for joining us on the run beforehand.
(Loved the Peugeot 106 antics) :clap:

Mark and Lyn.

Hi all,
The Regular Essex Meet has changed venues. We have found a new pub which should make a nice change.
We now have our own area allocated to us as well as use of the garden.
Also the roads around the pub are superb...you'll see what we mean! :yh:

We will be meeting here at 8.00, as we are arranging a drive beforehand.
Those who cannot make the drive are welcome to meet us at the pub.
Just ask for the MR2 club and you should be directed to our area.

Blubeckers at The Old Windmill
South Hanningfield Road

The drive before will meet at Galleywood Common (parking area opposite the Church) for 7.15 to leave at 7.30. CLICKY for map.

I'm very tempted to come to this actually...it's 17 miles from me but my MK1 has had a coolant leak which we have sorted today but has left it on the low level of the coolant reservoir....would it be too risky to drive it that far?

I'm a bit edgy what with the lack of much coolant so think I will pass on the drive beforehand, will meet everyone there I think.

Thanks for the offer MarkandLyn, everything else is fine just the coolant that is on the low side.

EDIT: My Dad is going to go and get some for me from Toyota tomorrow...he was saying today how he loves my MR2 and he can use it for visiting a friend too.

I'll be home from work by 6 so I'll leave straight away and will come for the drive too.
