This post is too long for me to trawl through it looking for the right info.

So,

1. Where is it? Address please.
2. How much for a run?
3. When?
4. What time
5. Will there be a convoy on the way there?
6. If so where does that begin.

HTH Frank,

N


it's at engine advantages in witham essex, type them detials into yell and it'll show you exactly where it is. then use rac.co.uk for directions ;)

bout £30 which gives you 2 runs i believe, time is stupidly early if i remember (franks choice :D)

talk to over members in you're area and see if you can convoy with them probably best, rhy is coming with me from the south if me and rhy can make it that is! :mrgreen:


Cheers,

What date is it??

I have to check my shifts, we are having a shake up here.

Some good news chaps.....

I've been having a little chat with the editors of the new J Tuner mag today with an aim of having them come along to our R/R shoot out on the 12th June.

They have expressed an interest in covering the day and so i'm now just waiting fo them to get back to me :D Fingers crossed this will go ahead as I think it would be a great oppertunity for us to strut our MR2 stuff within the pages of a Jap mag \:D/

Not sure though Steve - Your std Rev 3 may have more power over Jims slightly modded Rev 2.

Jim - Im in the same boat as you. Hope im not the lowest powered MR2 there! Are their any NA owners going? (Im not fussed anyway if im the lowest powered :^o )

you can always come along - it's going to be a great day just because of the people and the number of cars... if we can squeeze you on we will...
but those that have paid deposits come first naturally - saying that however out of 30 or so people only about 10 have paid so you might have a good a chance as any !

don;t feel shy - come along ! :mrgreen:

Of course you can come.. it's an open invite - but Runners are limited to 30 by Engine Advantages.

Those that pay a deposit of £5 will get priority on their slot -I'm at every Bluewater meet to receive anyones deposit...
Please bear in mind we aim to start at 9am - it's gonna be a long old day followed by one ENORMOUS cruise/convoy of what looks to be over 30 MR2's to a pub yet to be determined... :-k hmm must look into that 8-[
